This book provides an ecosystem perspective in addressing the water
resource management issues in the South Asian region. It argues
that aspects such as sources of water, its distribution and users;
land-water interrelations; drivers of change such as laws, policies
and institutions; management of issues and technologies related to
water supply; institutional set-up; economic instruments such as
pricing, taxes, subsidies; and economics of ecosystem services are
crucial. Climate changes, melting of glaciers and polar ice caps,
rising sea level and the increased frequency of extreme events,
have to be factored into integrated management of water resources.
This book addresses some of these major issues related to aquatic
ecosystems and focuses on three major aspects: (a) concepts related
to ecosystems, ecosystem services and their linkages with water;
(b) human impacts on ecosystems, particularly the aquatic
ecosystems, and their assessment; and (c) the management, including
policy, governance and economics. Comprising new theories, research
and case studies, the book will be useful those concerned with
water resource management - professionals, students and
researchers.
