Perspectives on Integrated Coastal Zone Management
Author: Wim Salomons
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642601030
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 393
Book Description
All coastal areas are facing a growing range of stresses and shocks, the scale of which now poses threats to the resilience of both human and environmental coastal systems. Responsible agencies are seeking better ways of managing the causes and consequences of the environmental change process in coastal zones. This volume discusses the basic principles underpinning a more integrated approach to coastal management and highlights the obstacles that may be met in practice in both developed and developing countries. Successful strategies will have to encompass all the elements of management, from planning and design through financing and implementation, as highlighted in this book.

De la noria a la bomba

ISBN: 8488949316
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 341
Book Description
La cuenca alta del río Guadiana, marco de las andanzas del Caballero de la Triste Figura, es posiblemente una de las zonas de España donde mejor pueden observarse y estudiarse las interrelaciones entre las aguas superficiales y subterráneas, tanto en sus aspectos hidrológicos como en los ecológicos, sociales y económicos. En la definición y el funcionamiento del sistema hidrológico del Guadiana y sus afluentes de cabecera, cobran una importancia singular tanto los acuíferos subterráneos como los humedales que conforman la Reserva de la Biosfera de La Mancha Húmeda. Sin embargo, en las últimas décadas, la rápida y descoordinada transformación de tierras de secano a regadío ha derivado en un incremento sustancial de las extracciones de aguas subterráneas, causa principal del grave deterioro experimentado por los humedales manchegos y la flora y fauna a ellos asociadas, del secado de numerosos pozos, del aumento de los costes de bombeo, de los problemas crecientes de los abastecimientos urbanos tanto en calidad como en cantidad, de los conflictos entre los propios regantes y de éstos con la Administración Hidráulica, del complicado futuro que tienen ante sí los regadíos, etc. Este libro muestra la relación entre todos estos aspectos, a la vez que apunta nuevas ideas y sendas que sería conveniente transitar para alcanzar la sostenibilidad ambiental y la equidad social en el uso del agua.

Climate Change Policy
Author: Michael Bothe
Publisher: Eleven International Publishing
ISBN: 9077596054
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 458
Book Description
This book presents the research results of an interdisciplinary study on climate change policies by the Enforcing Environmental Policy (EEP) Network, a project supported by the Human Dimension Potential Programme. Contributions are from highly qualified economic and legal specialists based at research institutes across Europe. The book gives answers to several questions related to the implementation of the international rules on climate change, most notably the Kyoto Protocol. It analyses ways and means to facilitate and encourage compliance with the objectives of the Kyoto Protocol. It is addressed to policy-makers, academics, business-sector and stakeholders throughout and outside Europe. Due to its interdisciplinary approach, this work is a distinctive and unique product compared to the existing literature on the subject. The effective implementation of climate protection and clean air policy requires an understanding of the political, legal and economic structures and constraints facing policy makers - and this is exactly what this book offers.
