This interdisciplinary volume considers how nine arid or semi-arid river basins around the world with thriving irrigated agriculture will change between now and 2060. It discusses how they can survive the challenges of climate change, reservoir sedimentation, and pollution without loss of food production, drinking water, or environmental health.
