Water resources professionals around the world must confront numerous challenges in water project development and maintenance. Competing needs and interests for water supply, legal and environmental responsibilities of suppliers and regulators, agricultural needs and impacts, cost and pricing impacts on supply systems are just a few pertinent factors influencing project development.
Water Policy and Management: Solving the Problems identifies the diverse challenges facing the water resources professional. Potential, as well as successful, solutions for critical water resources problems are featured, as contributing engineers and researchers present over 900 pages of state-of-the-art information on all aspects of water resources and water systems. From reservoir and instream flow management to urban water supply and conservation, technical papers and reviews focus on water policy; water education; computer-aided decision support systems and geographic information systems; integration of reliability, uncertainty and optimization; groundwater modeling and management, and more.
