This book was first published in 2007. Increasing demands for
irrigation, domestic and industrial water have generated a massive
growth world-wide in the number of large water infrastructure
projects involving the transfer of water from basins considered to
have surplus water to those where the demand for water has exceeded
or is expected to exceed supplies. Using the experiences of
projects in Australia, United States, Canada, China and India, this
book examines case studies within the diverse geographical,
climatic, economic, and policy regimes operating in these
countries. It examines the water resources of Australia, the driest
inhabited continent, and explores inter-basin water transfer
projects in the United States, Canada, China and India, examining
their benefits and impacts within these nations' contrasting
economies and governance systems. This comprehensive and
well-illustrated text will be of great interest to professionals
and researchers in the fields of hydrology, water resources, and to
those engaged in environmental science, policy and regulation.
