Produktbeschreibung

Planning and Management for Sustainable Water Resources and Infrastructure under Climate Change examines various water resources (irrigation systems, coastal reservoirs, hydropower plants, dams, reservoirs, etc.) and their effect on climate change and the environment. Focusing on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as defined by the United Nations, this comprehensive guide offers necessary information on current approaches for adaptation and mitigation strategies including but not limited to digital technologies, AI, big data, and real-time monitoring. The book is divided into two parts: the first part focuses on the environmental impacts of precipitation, temperature, sea level, groundwater, whereas the second part delves into the role and infrastructure of various water resources. Each chapter contains real-world case studies, analyzed thoroughly by leading experts in the field. Filled with tools for implementing sustainable water resource systems, this book is a valuable resource for students, early-career researchers, industry leaders, and policymakers currently involved in water industry and climate-related fields.
