Next to air, water is the most important natural resource present on Earth, and it is present in every living thing. It is time to treat this precious resource with the respect it truly deserves! Its sustainable use is more necessary than ever to satisfy essential needs of the growing world population.        

Introduction to Water Resources is truly an introductory textbook on water that exposes beginners to all aspects of water: its perpetual existence due to unique properties; how it cycles through the Earth; its availability in three different forms; how humans have utilized it for their survival and development; its quality; and laws and regulations surrounding its use.

Introduction to Water Resources summarizes the processes of treatment before its distribution to the public and the processes needed to safely discharge wastewater back to the environment. It also emphasizes on “How important is to consider water as an economic good and conserve it for future generations?” The textbook introduces readers to the different applications of water and the unique role water plays at present, and would play in the future for meeting the ever-increasing demands for food, energy, and clean environment.
