Water Resources Systems-Hydrological Risk, Management and Development

As a result of contamination issues, land-use change and climate fluctuations, water availability appears to be decreasing in many regions, whilst water demand increases. At the same time, dealing with the risk associated with extreme events—be it floods, droughts or other hazards—has become an integral part of management of water resources systems, both for short-term operation as well as long-term planning. This volume addresses: Flood risk: analysing trends and processes; Modelling flood runoff; Drought risk: analysing trends and processes; Management of reservoir systems; Water resources management policies; Water resources management: methods and case studies; and Integrating water resources management.

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.
