This comprehensive, how-to manual and guide demonstrates how to produce a long term Integrated ResourcePlan for a water utility. It helps waterresources planners develop and implement a comprehensive work plan that responds to technical and institutional questions that must be addressed before ...
This broad review of the development of US waterresource policy analysis and practice offers perspectives from several disciplines: law, economics, engineering, ecology and political science. While the historical context provided goes back to the early 19th century, the book concentrates on the past 60 ...
Global climate change is expected to have major impacts on waterresources and aquatic ecosystems. This prospect presents planners, who are already struggling to meet the demands of growing populations and economies, with new challenges. This volume examines these challenges and the resulting conceptual ...
This treatise offers insights into the regulation and administration of water rights, along with water allocation and distribution law. It includes expert presentation of the major water doctrines, detailed analysis of water allocation law, proprietary water rights, federal water ...
The four volumes in this set cover major aspects of hydrology and waterresources, including surface water hydrology, subsurface water hydrology, water quality hydrology, and waterresourcesplanning management. Some of the articles and state-of-the-art papers ...
Droughts and their management are a serious challenge to waterresource professionals. While droughts predominate in arid regions, their frequency and severity in more temperate regions with more abundant rainfall have been on the rise. Drought Management and Planning for WaterResources provides an ...
Analysis of open-channel flow is essential for the planning, design, and operation of water-resource projects. The use of computers and the availability of efficient computational procedures has simplified such analysis, and made it possible to handle increasingly complex systems. In Open-Channel Flow, Second ...
The Jordan River waters are essential for the development and well being of the people of its basin. Plans for the development of its waterresources were considered since the beginning of the twentieth century, and have long been central to dispute between riparian nations. This volume reviews the ...
This book "Applied Hydrometeorology" is intended to serve as a text for senior undergraduate or beginning undergraduate courses in hydrometeorology, and will also be of value to practicing engineers and hydrologists engaged in the planning, design, development, and management of waterresources. The subject matter ...

Owing to climate change related uncertainties and anticipated population growth, different parts of the developing and the developed world (particularly urban areas) are experiencing water shortages or flooding and security of fit-for-purpose supplies is becoming a major issue. The emphasis on ...
This book elaborates some very important concepts, tools, and methodologies that can be used to help resolve multiple reservoir capacity allocation problems in a consistent, efficient, and cost-effective way. The material presented in the book will guide the hydrological analyst or design engineer in the determination of the optimal storage capacities and operational strategies of the individual ...
Containing papers presented at the Ninth International Conference in the well-established conference series on Ecosystems and Sustainable Development, this book originates from the work of the late Nobel laureate, Ilya Prigogine, and challenges us to develop the new science of “ecodynamics,” integrating thermodynamics, ecology and economics. It covers not only novel research related ...
Total water management is the exercise of stewardship and shared governance of waterresources among utilities, business, and government for the greatest good of society and the ...
This book attempts to describe runoff, infiltration and subsurface flow of water by adopting a holistic approach rather than restricting itself to a particular section of the hydrological cycle. It includes reports on recent studies which have led to a better understanding of a variety of problems ...
