Indus River Basin: Water Security and Sustainability provides a
comprehensive treatment of water-related issues within the Indus
River basin. Each chapter is written by an expert in the field,
hence this book serves as a single, holistic source covering the
whole region, not just a single country. Many of the challenges
faced by this region are trans-boundary issues, especially within
the context of climate change and water scarcity. Topics covered
include extreme engineering and water resource management (one of
the largest irrigation systems in dry to semi-desert conditions),
social sciences (population dynamics linked to water resources) and
political sciences. As such, this book is relevant and important to
all researchers interested in these issues.
Flood Forecasting: A Global Perspective describes flood forecast
systems and operations as they currently exist at national and
regional centers around the globe, focusing on the technical
aspects of flood forecast systems. This book includes the details
of data flow, what data is used, quality control, the hydrologic
and hydraulic models used, and the unique problems of each country
or system, such as glacial dam failures, ice jams, sparse data, and
ephemeral streams and rivers. Each chapter describes the system,
including details about its strengths and weaknesses, and covers
lessons learned. This helpful resource facilitates sharing
knowledge that will lead to improvements of existing systems and
provides a valuable reference to those wishing to develop new
forecast systems by drawing on best practices.
