Full Description

This book examines how integrating water quality and water quantity is essential for confronting today's most urgent challenges, including climate change, population growth, land-use change, and pollution. Emphasizing predictive modeling and recent advances in groundwater recharge and surface-water management, it presents innovative, science-based strategies for forecasting and sustainably managing water resources.

The book highlights the pivotal roles of rainwater harvesting, riverbank filtration, and runoff management in simultaneously securing water supply and controlling contamination. It analyzes how climate change disrupts these fragile linkages and showcases emerging tools—such as satellite-based remote sensing and geospatial analytics—for monitoring, assessing, and protecting water systems. Designed as a concise yet comprehensive resource, this book equips researchers, practitioners, and policymakers with actionable insights for bridging water quality and quantity challenges in the Anthropocene.
