Описание: The 21st century will witness the collision of two powerful forces - burgeoning population growth, together with a changing climate. With population growth, water scarcity will proliferate to new areas across the globe. And with climate change, rainfall will become more fickle, with longer and deeper periods of droughts and deluges. This report presents new evidence to advance understanding on how rainfall shocks coupled with water scarcity, impacts farms, firms, and families. On farms, the largest consumers of water in the world, impacts are channeled from declining yields to changing landscapes. In cities, water extremes especially when combined with unreliable infrastructure can stall firm production, sales, and revenue. At the center of this are families, who feel the impacts of this uncertainty on their incomes, jobs, and long-term health and welfare. Although a rainfall shock may be fleeting, its consequences can become permanent and shape the destiny of those who experience it.Pursuing business as usual will lead many countries down a 'parched path' where droughts shape destinies. Avoiding this misery in slow motion will call for fundamental changes to water policy around the globe. Building resilience to rainfall variability will require using different policy instruments to address the multifaceted nature of water. A key message of this report is that water has multiple economic attributes, each of which entail distinct policy responses. If water is not managed more prudently--from source, to tap, and back to source--the crises observed today will become the catastrophes of tomorrow.
Описание: This book discusses the evaluation of surface and groundwater quality changes in the periods of water scarcity in river catchment areas. Discusses existing methods of assessment, the HydroOffice software program introduced by the authors.

Описание: This book offers a new approach to environmental problems. Bringing the tools of Bourdieu`s field sociology to bear on a moment of environmental crisis with a study of the logics of water policy in the American Southwest, it reveals the contest over the management of scarce resources in a context of lasting drought.

Описание: Water scarcity affects hydrologic resources, systems connectivity, biodiversity, water quality, and river ecosystem functioning. This volume provides an in-depth view of the water quality and quantity implications of water scarcity. It highlights its possible causes and describes the effects in regions under Mediterranean climate.
In his new Pacific Research Institute book Winning the Water Wars, journalist and R Street Institute western region director Steven Greenhut writes that California can end its decades-long battles over water and meet the needs of its current and future population by promoting abundance rather than managing scarcity.
Greenhut writes, "this book does not propose solely building more dams . . . I explain the importance of water pricing and trading, regulatory reforms, desalination, wastewater treatment, upgrading water-conveyance systems and other ideas. I'm for all of the above . . . The main focus is on creating water abundance, rather than on having political fights over a declining water supply."
He provides readers with a rich history, geography, and background information to guide readers through how the state arrived at its current predicament - accompanied by dozens of beautiful photos of California's rivers, lakes, streams, and water infrastructure installations, many taken by the author.
Greenhut argues that environmental groups, who typically oppose water storage and infrastructure projects, are not succeeding in restoring fish populations by flushing more water out to sea through our rivers. Abundance would be a more effective way to restore fish and habitats.
"Without water infrastructure, California would largely be a wasteland or far less populous. There's nothing wrong with prioritizing the needs of people, while still paying attention to habitat restoration. More water allows the state to deal with all these priorities," he writes.
Finally, he outlines policy reform ideas to responsibly shape California's water future, including free-market ideas to improve water supply such as a more accurate water-pricing system that would facilitate transfers and trading.
Greenhut writes, "The state needs to reform its regulatory barriers to water trading, so water-rights holders are better able to sell water to those who need it most. California also needs a better pricing system to allow markets to work their magic. But pricing must come against a backdrop of water abundance rather than one that leaves everyone fighting over an artificially capped supply."

Описание:
Drought challenges: Livelihood Implications in Developing Countries provides an understanding of the occurrence and impacts of droughts for developing countries, and for specific vulnerable sub-groups such as women and pastoralists. It presents tools for assessing vulnerabilities, introduces them to individual policies to combat the effects of droughts, and highlights the importance of integrated multi-sectoral approaches and drought networks of actors at various levels. Currently, there are few books on the market that address the growing need for knowledge and best practices on these cross-cutting issues.
Drought can occur virtually anywhere but is often overlooked. The systemic connections between droughts and livelihoods are a key factor in development in many dryland and agriculturally-dependent nations and regions; even so, there is limited interaction and coordination across practitioners, governments, and institutional 'silos' on tackling the challenges posed by drought. However, attitudes are changing, and there is growing recognition of the need for future cooperation and innovation between silos. Drought challenges: Livelihood Implications in Developing Countries bridges the gap by bringing various actors together to work for a common purpose.
Connects the biophysical, social, economic, policy and institutional aspects of droughts across multiple regions in developing world
Analyzes policy linkages between government agencies, public institutions, NGOs, the private sector and communities
Includes a discussion of gender dimensions of drought and its impacts
Presents a multi-sectoral perspective, including the human dimensions of drought in developing countries
