Managing Water in River and Reservoir Systems

Managing Water in River and Reservoir Systems: Water Resources, Institutional Practices, and Constructed Infrastructure in Texas provides an overview of effective river and reservoir system water management, discussing the collaborative endeavors of international, federal, interstate, state, river basin, and local agencies, private sector enterprises, and the water management community, using the state of Texas as a case study. Topics include Water resources management, Institutional framework for river and reservoir system water management, Reservoir and river system operations, Computer databases and modeling systems, River system hydrology, River and reservoir system development, and Water management in river basins. While Author Ralph Wurbs does utilize Texas as an example throughout the book, the information provided assists professional water resources planners and managers, civil engineers, environmental scientists, elected and appointed officials at all levels of government, private sector industrial and agricultural water users, university students, and researchers on a national and even global scale.
