This textbook introduces fundamental concepts in hydrology and water resources to beginners in the field. It gives a comprehensive treatment to the subject covering different aspects of water resources and its uses in municipal, industrial, and agriculture sectors.
It alerts readers to future challenges that humans will face due to anticipated scarcity of freshwater owing to population growth and global climate changes. A true understanding of water requires knowledge of various factors that control its preservation, supply, and equitable distribution. The study of water resources management must include political, economic, social, environmental, and regulatory aspects in addition to scientific and technical knowledge. The book attempts to provide a holistic view of water resources by taking on an inter-disciplinary approach.
Being an introductory book on water resources, it can be useful for undergraduate students majoring in natural resources, hydrology, environmental sciences, environmental studies and urban planning and also for non-science majors to fulfill one of the natural science requirements of general education.
Available in the first week of September, 2014.
