Full Description
Presents a framework for understanding and managing global water scarcity
Global Water Scarcity: Causes, Impacts, and Management Strategies explores the factors driving water shortages across the world while presenting actionable strategies for sustainable water management. Bringing together technical, ecological, and socioeconomic perspectives, this edited volume examines both the natural and human-induced causes of scarcity and outlines adaptive approaches to achieve global water security.
Expert contributors draw on case studies and the latest research to highlight diverse management strategies—ranging from desalination technologies and aquifer recharge to the restoration of aquatic ecosystems and rainwater harvesting. In-depth chapters address critical topics such as groundwater depletion, geogenic contamination, and the socioeconomic implications of water stress. Providing readers with an understanding of the interconnected systems that shape global water availability, Global Water Scarcity:
Highlights innovative solutions such as desalination, aquifer recharge, and ecosystem restoration
Examines socioeconomic and governance dimensions of water resource management
Discusses emerging contaminants and their implications for water quality and security
Offers geospatial approaches for assessing, monitoring, and managing groundwater resources
Underscores the importance of aligning water management practices with the UN Sustainable Development Goals
Global Water Scarcity: Causes, Impacts, and Management Strategies is essential reading for researchers in environmental science, hydrology, and water resource management courses, as well as professionals working in environmental policy, sustainable development, and civil or environmental engineering.
