Water Quality: Processes and Policy

Stephen T. Trudgill (Editor); Des E. Walling (Editor); Bruce W. Webb (Editor)

Editorial: Hardcover

Idioma: Inglés

Edición: 1999

ISBN: 0-471-98547-3

Global water issues are likely to be as important in the forseeable future as the oil crisis was in the 1970s. There is an urgent need for management to be apprised of scientific work and of the uncertainties that are associated with it, and for scientists to be able to transmit their work to management in a comprehensible way. This book explores the management of water quality in urban, rural and coastal environments. It brings together science and policy making in a timely and relevant way. As such, this book will appeal to professionals working within the water industry and also to academic institutions which have an interest in the issues relating to water quality

Water Services Management

David Stephenson

Idioma: Inglés

Edición: 2005

ISBN: 1843390809

Water Services Management is intended to educate engineers to manage and improve water services, rather than simply designing and constructing treatment works and distribution systems. The text covers water supply and drainage from the hydraulic and economic points of view, and while design and construction practices are reviewed, the focus of the book is on improving existing systems to turn the emerging industry into an attractive business.

Water, Cultural Diversity, and Global Environmental Change

Johnston, B.R.; Hiwasaki, L.; Klaver, I.J.; Ramos Castillo, A.; Strang, V

Editorial: Springer

Idioma: English

ISBN: 978-94-007-1773-2

A UNESCO-IHP project exploring the linkages between water, cultural diversity and environmental change

This book offers an array of ideas, concepts, and tools to understand and manage the sociocultural implications of the growing water crisis

Includes discussions on how water resource, cultural diversity and biodiversity concerns can be met in a peaceful and sustainable fashion

A product of the UNESCO-IHP project on Water and Cultural Diversity, this book represents an effort to examine the complex role water plays as a force in sustaining, maintaining, and threatening the viability of culturally diverse peoples. It is argued that water is a fundamental human need, a human right, and a core sustaining element in biodiversity and cultural diversity. The core concepts utilized in this book draw upon a larger trend in sustainability science, a recognition of the synergism and analytical potential in utilizing a coupled biological and social systems analysis, as the functioning viability of nature is both sustained and threatened by humans.

Water, Life and Civilisation

Editorial: Editado por Steven Mithen y Emily Black

Idioma: Inglés

Edición: April 2011

ISBN: 9780521769570

A unique interdisciplinary study of the relationships between climate, hydrology and human society from 20,000 years ago to the present day within the Jordan Valley. It describes how state-of-the-art models can simulate the past, present and future climates of the Near East, reviews and provides new evidence for environmental change from geological deposits, builds hydrological models for the River Jordan and associated wadis and explains how present day urban and rural communities manage their water supply. The volume provides a new approach and new methods that can be applied for exploring the relationships between climate, hydrology and human society in arid and semi-arid regions throughout the world. It is an invaluable reference for researchers and advanced students concerned with the impacts of climate change and hydrology on human society, especially in the Near East.
