Produktbeschreibung

A strategic and shrinking resource, clean water is often touted as the "new oil." The complexities that surround it are proving to be major challenges. A contribution to the better integration of approaches in the separate disciplines of water management, water engineering, urban planning and design, and aquatic ecology, this book explores the emergence of new, more effective water and urban development paradigms. The volume discusses the historical relationship between water systems and human settlements, and related management problems regarding urban floods, water use and water sanitation. It is appropriate for scientists, professionals, and public and non-governmental organizations.
