L'eau et ses enjeux
Author: François Anctil
Publisher: De Boeck Superieur
ISBN: 2807307043
Category :
Languages : fr
Pages : 267
Book Description
Ressource naturelle aux multiples facettes, l'eau se décline sur notre planète en glaciers, rivières, lacs, mers... Elle marque les frontières, nourrit les cultures ou alimente les réseaux urbains. Cependant, cette abondance de formes ne doit pas occulter les dangers qui pèsent sur elle et les problématiques que son exploitation suscite. Nous suivons l'auteur dans son analyse du cheminement de l'eau et des relations complexes que l'homme a tissées avec son milieu hydrique. A l'heure d'une urbanisation exponentielle et face aux besoins en eau que celle-ci entraîne, tandis que la question de l'accès à une eau potable et non polluée se fait de plus en plus pressante, il semble temps de poser les bases d'une gouvernance responsable. Pour comprendre les enjeux de sa gestion intelligente et solidaire, cet ouvrage invite le lecteur à prendre conscience de tous les aspects qui font de l'eau le coeur d'un des défis les plus passionnants que doit relever l'humanité.

Climate Change and Water Resources in Africa
Author: Salif Diop
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030612252
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 521
Book Description
The focus of this book is on the key water-related vulnerabilities to climate change in Africa, particularly in its most vulnerable areas, exploring potential management responses to such vulnerabilities. The African countries are particularly exposed and vulnerable to the negative impacts of climate change, with important impacts on water resources and hydrological systems, water availability, water resource management and sea level variations. Already, under various anthropogenic pressures, the status of water resources in Africa has been changing over the past decades, with decreasing water quality, falling groundwater levels, and variability in rainfall, both in terms of timing and intensity. Climate change will further accelerate the rate of change, affecting the ability of people and societies to respond in a timely manner. It is clear that there is no quick fix to the pressures imposed on water resources by climate change. Increasing the resilience of ecosystems and communities to extreme events such as flooding and drought, and integrating climate change risks and opportunities into development decision-making is indeed a key challenge, as much a technical climate-change one, as a political and developmental challenge. The book, in this regard, intends to contribute to the debate around climate change in relation to water resources management in Africa, and in particular inform policy decisions and actions that will improve governments’ and communities’ ability to manage the challenges of climate change and variability in relation to the aquatic ecosystems that they depend on. The knowledge collected in this book will benefit policy makers, researchers, as well as other stakeholders.

The Mediterranean region under climate change
Author: Collectif
Publisher: IRD Éditions
ISBN: 2709922207
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 736
Book Description
This book has been published by Allenvi (French National Alliance for Environmental Research) to coincide with the 22nd Conference of Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP22) in Marrakesh. It is the outcome of work by academic researchers on both sides of the Mediterranean and provides a remarkable scientific review of the mechanisms of climate change and its impacts on the environment, the economy, health and Mediterranean societies. It will also be valuable in developing responses that draw on “scientific evidence” to address the issues of adaptation, resource conservation, solutions and risk prevention. Reflecting the full complexity of the Mediterranean environment, the book is a major scientific contribution to the climate issue, where various scientific considerations converge to break down the boundaries between disciplines.
