Water Resources Systems-Water Availability and Global Change

As greater demands are placed upon limited water resources, it is increasingly important to safeguard water resource systems from encroaching pollution, over-exploitation, the vagaries of natural climate variability, and the threat of anthropogenic climate change. This volume compiles a representative sample of the range of activities currently engaging the international hydrological community, focusing on: Water resources assessment studies and methodologies; Observations of hydrological change; Coupled climate-land surface modelling approaches; Water quality threats to water resources; and Modelling approaches to water resource assessment.

The International Association of Hydrological Sciences is the world's premier member-based organization promoting the study and practice of Hydrology. Our books are authored, edited and produced at the highest level of quality, with the most current and thorough research.

Our publications and our work advance the science and the professional practice of Hydrology in a variety of Science and Engineering fields around the world.

The areas that we publish in include:

• Ground water
• Surface water
• Snow and ice hydrology
• Drought and desertification
• Runoff modelling
• Watershed
• Remote sensing
• Water quality
• Water resources and management
• Ecohydrology/hydro-ecology
• Erosion and sediment
• Tracer hydrology
