Transnational Water Management for Beginners

About this book

Poor water quality has resulted in major problems in many developing countries, affecting the overall socioeconomic status of communities as well as the ecological situation of various surrounding environments. This, together with changing climatic conditions, increases in industrial activities, and changes in land use, has led to an ex¬acerbation of water-related problems. Nowadays, water-related issues have infiltrated into many different areas such as the environment, energy, industry, transport, food security, society, health, and even climate sectors. Often these tend to impact at both the national and international scale. The increased demand for water has often placed an enhanced risk of conflict where governance is concerned and a host of challenging issues are raised, which often intensifies at a transboundary or transnational level. This volume, in particular, focuses on the basic concepts a beginner needs to know when learning about Integrated Water Resource Management. A simplified understanding of the environment, resources, and related interactions are provided before touching on ecosystems, ecosystem management, and ecological principles. The basics of water management and how to implement water resource management are also covered.
