Описание: Over the last three decades drought episodes have resulted in severe social problems in Mediterranean countries, receiving broad attention from the international scientific and policy communities. The experiences in the development and implementation of drought management plans highlight the success and challenges of coping with drought for societies with different vulnerabilities and emphasize risk-based drought management as a critical approach to mitigate the impacts associated to drought-induced water shortages. Based on these experiences and the current methods for evaluating risk, the book synthesises guidelines for drought management that link science and policy and that can be applied to other regions. The book comprises a collection of papers divided into four sections that appeal to a broad audience. First, the social and hydrological context of Mediterranean countries is presented, discussing the interactions that have resulted in the complex institutional framework, and highlighting the importance of stakeholder involvement and awareness building for successful drought management. This section emphasises the role of organizations, institutions, and civil stakeholders involved in drought preparedness and mitigation and/or on water management for designing effective risk based strategies that mitigate the effects of drought in agriculture and water supply systems. Second, the book presents an academic approach to risk evaluation, including characterization of drought episodes, development of indicators of risk in hydrological and agricultural systems, and analysis of the role of economic instruments and groundwater for risk mitigation. This section finalises with the description of an integrated method for evaluating social vulnerability based on indicators that include the capacity to anticipate, cope, and respond to drought. The third section includes a collection of case studies that include the description of effective measures taken in the past. These case studies provide the context for developing demand driven guidelines that may be applied to other regions. The authors of these chapters can be viewed as stakeholders in drought management, since they represent a broad range of sectors and institutions from Mediterranean European and North African countries. The topics addressed have implications for the international policy community interested in disaster mitigation, agricultural policy, and development. Finally a synthesis of the management actions is presented in four chapters. Monitoring and preparedness planning is the essential first step for moving from disaster to risk management in response to drought. The management actions related to agriculture and water supply systems are presented in two different chapters but with a common conceptual framework based on the use of drought indicators for evaluating the levels of drought risk (pre-alert, alert, and emergency), that allow establishing linkages between science and policy. The final chapter discuses the lessons learned and application to other regions.

Описание:
This publication explores the potential of the Meghna River as an alternative water source for Dhaka. It also describes the fragile state of the city's current drinking water supply due to increasing demand and surface contamination.
The authors assess the threats facing the Meghna River and identify protection measures needed to ensure that it can provide a sustainable and safe supply of drinking water. These measures include designating ecological critical areas, promoting cleaner industrial production, monitoring pollution, controlling wastewater discharges and pesticide use, and empowering local stewardship of the river.
Описание: This book presents a social science perspective on drought and water scarcity in the UK. It puts forward a narrative of how different stakeholders manage drought and water scarcity, how they generate and manage knowledge and how power relationships between stakeholders shape drought and water scarcity management.

Описание: This book provides a comparative analysis of policy instruments designed to respond to climate change, drought and floods in connection with agricultural producers and their communities in four case study areas: Alberta and Saskatchewan, Canada; Coquimbo, Chile; and Mendoza, Argentina. Assessed from the standpoint of effectiveness and adaptive governance, instruments for improving the livelihood capitals of agricultural producers are identified and recommendations to improve the suite of policy instruments are put forward.

Описание: The countries that make up the MENA region display wide diversity. One of the poorest countries in the world sits alongside two of the wealthiest, whilst the region's natural resources range from immeasurable oil and gas reserves to some of the scantiest natural endowments anywhere in the world. Yet through this diversity runs a common thread: water scarcity. Now, through the impact of human development and climate change, the water resource itself is changing, bringing new risks and increasing the vulnerability of all those dependent on water. Chris Ward and Sandra Ruckstuhl assess the increased challenges now facing the countries of the region, placing particular emphasis on water scarcity and the resultant risks to livelihoods, food security and the environment. They evaluate the risks and reality of climate change in the region, and offer an assessment of the vulnerability of agriculture and livelihoods. In a final section, they explore the options for responding to the new challenges, including policy, institutional, economic and technical measures.

Описание: The rivers are considered as playing a very important role in hydrological cycle. The river is resulting from joining number of streams created by overland as well as hill land flow. The reservoirs are constructed across the rivers as a storage projects or run of river projects. The reservoir engineering has presented specific desire to withstand the powers brought about by the river streams during heavy precipitation. The staggering flood circumstances are being deflected because of dams and related supplies thereof. The role of information technology in early warning systems has specific importance in early river flood warning, monitoring, mitigation and management. The flood alleviation and checking strategies alongside the job of the local area based NGOs and public specialists was stressed. For sustainable development of any region, efficient and proper utilization of available water resources has crucial importance. Reservoir storage capacity greatly affected by the amount of sediment deposition in the reservoir over time. The storage capacity of the any irrigation project and in turn its operational efficiency is enhanced by efficient sediment management. Sustainable ecosystem management is essential to overcome several obstacles in the judicious management of natural resources to satisfy the demand from different sectors. Reservoir engineering and water resource engineering have given us an amazing information base to realize the constructions worked across the different river basins. Recent advanced technologies such as remote sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS). Artificial Intelligence can be utilized in mapping, planning and management of water resources. With the efficient management of the natural resources, it is also important to control the pollution of natural resources. The rivers or other natural resources are mainly polluted by the presence of different variety of algae, excess amount of nitrogen, phosphorus molecules in the water bodies. There are various food chains, which are present in the aquatic environment, that are destroyed by the polluted water bodies. This is enough to disturb the ecological balance. We can utilize a few planning methods in researching the real states of the nearby water bodies. It is significant to realize the toxin load at all the sections of the stream. Therefore, it is necessary investigate and control the water pollution in the natural water bodies like, rivers, reservoirs, ponds for better ecological balance.
