'Packed with information and insights...a most welcome account of all the broader principles and issues that need to be taken into account in the planning, design and consideration of new schemes, and for those responsible for their day-to-day operation.' - Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management
The Hydrology of the UK assesses the changing hydrology of the UK,
focusing on key issues that affect the fundamental hydrological
processes and have important implications for water resource
management, flood risk and environmental quality. The bookis
divided into 3 sections: Section 1 examines the causes of change to
the hydrology of the UK, including the impact of climate change,
land use and geomorphological change, and dam construction. Section
2 assesses the effects of these pressures on UK rivers, goundwater,
lakes, ponds, reservoirs and wetlands, looking at water quality,
degradation, pollution and protection. Section 3 examines the
responses of goverment organisations responsible for planning and
management of water, including Environment Agencies, British
Hydrological Society and the growing urgency for a World Hydrology
Initiative. Change will continue to be a major feature of UK
hydrology in the future. This book provides an understanding of the
changing hydrology of the UK and the international scene today and
looks to the needs for the future.
Water for the Environment: From Policy and Science to
Implementation and Management provides a holistic view of
environmental water management, offering clear links across
disciplines that allow water managers to face mounting challenges.
The book highlights current challenges and potential solutions,
helping define the future direction for environmental water
management. In addition, it includes a significant review of
current literature and state of knowledge, providing a one-stop
resource for environmental water managers.
