Full Description
Planning and Management for Sustainable Water Resources and Infrastructure under Climate Change explores the critical intersection of climate change, and sustainable water resources and infrastructure. With a diverse range of chapters covering topics from public participation and water governance to smart technologies, it provides a holistic understanding of the current concerns, core challenges, and innovative solutions surrounding water infrastructure and resilience. The book offers necessary information on current approaches for adaptation and mitigation strategies including but not limited to AI, IoT, and remote sensing. The implications of climate change for agriculture and aquaculture, the complexities of water and climate change governance, and the pressing issues of droughts, seawater intrusion, and intermittent water supply are discussed. It also examines various impacts of climate change on water resources and infrastructure with real-world case studies around the globe. By addressing these multifaceted topics, the book equips readers with the knowledge and strategies to navigate the evolving issues of water management in the face of a changing climate.
