Full Description
This book focuses on various scientific methodologies and policy innovations that promote the application of blue-green land management to the sustainable development of resources. This book highlights an importance of incorporating ecosystem services in policies and describes the clearer linkages between detailed service providing units and associated ecosystem services. This book also explores the various advanced research of smart ecosystem service to overcome the challenges of environmental sustainability in the blue-green land resources management. In addition, this book presents the key issues involved in finding the balance between the competing demands, for example, for land and water. The various case studies are also included. Authors illustrate how region and cities of different climates, lifestyles, and income-levels have implemented policy innovations that promote the application of blue-green land infrastructure to sustainably manage water, agriculture, wastewater, and storm water. Such innovations have reduced environmental degradation and enhanced resilience to climate change.
