Current Issues of Water Management
Author: Uli Uhlig
Publisher: BoD – Books on Demand
ISBN: 9533074132
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 356
Book Description
There is an estimated 1.4 billion km3 of water in the world but only approximately three percent (39 million km3) of it is available as fresh water. Moreover, most of this fresh water is found as ice in the arctic regions, deep groundwater or atmospheric water. Since water is the source of life and essential for all life on the planet, the use of this resource is a highly important issue. "Water management" is the general term used to describe all the activities that manage the optimum use of the world's water resources. However, only a few percent of the fresh water available can be subjected to water management. It is still an enormous amount, but what's unique about water is that unlike other resources, it is irreplaceable. This book provides a general overview of various topics within water management from all over the world. The topics range from politics, current models for water resource management of rivers and reservoirs to issues related to agriculture. Water quality problems, the development of water demand and water pricing are also addressed. The collection of contributions from outstanding scientists and experts provides detailed information about different topics and gives a general overview of the current issues in water management. The book covers a wide range of current issues, reflecting on current problems and demonstrating the complexity of water management.

Modeling, Control and Optimization of Water Systems
Author: Thomas Rauschenbach
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3642160263
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
This book provides essential background knowledge on the development of model-based real-world solutions in the field of control and decision making for water systems. It presents system engineering methods for modelling surface water and groundwater resources as well as water transportation systems (rivers, channels and pipelines). The models in turn provide information on both the water quantity (flow rates, water levels) of surface water and groundwater and on water quality. In addition, methods for modelling and predicting water demand are described. Sample applications of the models are presented, such as a water allocation decision support system for semi-arid regions, a multiple-criteria control model for run-of-river hydropower plants, and a supply network simulation for public services.

Southeast Asian Water Environment 1
Author: S. Ohgaki
Publisher: IWA Publishing
ISBN: 1843390981
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 270
Book Description
Southeast Asia has undergone rapid commercial and industrial development over the past half century, which continues to bring economic stability and prosperity to its inhabitants. The combined impacts of population growth, urbanization, and industrialization continue to put pressure on the natural resources and the environment. At the same time, globalization is another momentous challenge for the region. Southeast Asian megacities are some of the most dynamic and diverse regions, which are playing a key role in achieving global sustainability. Twelve out of nineteen megacities of the world are located in the region, where highly developed areas coexist with poorly developing areas where large economic growth is expected. The poor quality of the living standards of the latter creates many environmental problems that are major threats to the inhabitants of the region. The Southeast Asian environment has been degraded by the release of industrial and domestic wastes, agricultural and aquacultural chemicals, and pollutants from automobiles. It suffers from water-related disasters, Tsunami, floods, typhoons, etc. In order to deal with these issues an integrated approach from the inhibitants, governments and researchers is essential. The environmental threats arising from the increasing population, overuse of natural resources, industrialization, urbanization, and natural disasters present ever increasing challenges to pursuing sustainable development of the region. Many developed countries such as Japan have experiences of dealing with severe environmental pollution and this publication is the result of building an academic network among researchers of related fields from different regions to exchange information. This book will be an invaluable source of information for all those concerned with achieving global sustainability within the water environment in developing regions, including researchers, policy makers, NGOs and NPOs.

Water Management Models
Author: Ralph Allen Wurbs
Publisher: Pearson Education
ISBN:
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
Computer models play important roles in environmental and water resources planning and management. However, the number and complexity of available software packages -- both public domain and proprietary -- can be overwhelming for anyone attempting to sort through the maze of models and to understand which ones might be useful for a particular application. This reference critically evaluates the extremely wide range of water management modelling software to help water managers, engineers, and scientists identify, select, and acquire the optimal software program for their particular modeling needs. Covers general-purpose software packages that deal with water management models. Considers packages that focus on specific models for demand forecasting and balancing supply with demand; water distribution systems; ground water; watershed runoff; stream hydraulics; river and reservoir water quality; reservoir/river system operation. Features a Model Inventory Appendix covering in depth the details of 37 generalized water management models with a proven record of successful application. For engineers, scientists, planners, and managers involved with waste and wastewater management, drainage and stormwater management, municipal and industrial water districts, irrigation and flood control districts.
