Droughts and their management are a serious challenge to water
resource professionals. While droughts predominate in arid regions,
their frequency and severity in more temperate regions with more
abundant rainfall have been on the rise. Drought Management and
Planning for Water Resources provides an essential collection of
planning and management tools for minimizing the negative impacts
of droughts. Comprehensive and up-to-date, it covers water
conservation and reuse, conjunctive use and use of marginal
resources, desalination, deep groundwater extraction, optimization
modeling, and decision support systems. With contributions from a
prestigious international panel, the book presents best management
practices that maximize efficiency, reliability, and economy while
minimizing the potential for adverse effects to the environment and
human health. Providing appropriate methodologies, the chapters
discuss how conjunctive water use can increase water availability
in the developing world and what types of conjunctive use schemes
are the most promising. The book examines the feasibility of a
drought watch alert system and the legal and administrative
framework required. It also explores the application of the
Optimization Models and the Decision Support Systems to the study
of different water management alternatives under drought
conditions. Drought Management and Planning for Water Resources
delineates how to reduce drought effects through pro-active vision,
good management, and conjunctive use of water sources.
