Description
Water Resources Monitoring, Management, and Sustainability: Application of Geostatistics and Geospatial Modeling, Volume 16, a new volume in the Developments in Environmental Science series, introduces a variety of advanced modeling techniques like changing climate and land use/land cover, hydrological models, and machine learning approaches. These techniques are applied to address water resources and environmental monitoring, as well as planning and sustainable management of water resources. Further, the book discusses how to manage water resources at various local, regional, and international levels while incorporating environmental considerations.Finally, it delves into cutting-edge techniques based on open-source software and R statistical programming, Google Earth Engine, and modeling in modern artificial intelligence techniques, with a particular emphasis on recent trends in datamining techniques and robust modeling in water resource crisis-related hazards.- Provides essential information on new methods for managing water resources to minimize the global water crisis- Illustrates a geospatial technology approach to datamining techniques, data analysis, modeling, risk assessment and visualization, and management strategies in many elements of natural and societal hazards- Includes works that address the connection between water, climate change, and the environment
