What is Water Resources : An Integrated Approach about?

The world faces huge challenges for water as population continues to grow, as emerging economies develop and as climate change alters the global and local water cycle.

Water Resources: An Integrated Approach provides students with a comprehensive overview of both natural and socio-economic processes associated with water. The book contains chapters written by 20 specialist contributors, providing expert depth of coverage to topics.

The text concludes with a chapter that examines new concepts such as virtual water that help us understand cur
