Recenzje

"The work offers readers a strong glimpse of different disciplinary dimensions of understanding in individual basins in the region ... . the ostensible format of Water Resource Management in Central Asia and Afghanistan as an anthology of conference papers positions each individual study as a cursory step to future work and in aggregate enriches our understanding of the unique set of water management challenges facing this key region." (Kate Altemus Cullen, Mountain Research and Development, Vol. 42 (3), August, 2022)

The book provides a cross-sectoral, multi-scale assessment of development-directed investigations in the main rivers of wider Central Asia and Afghanistan. The book highlights the development of river systems, water reservoirs, ecosystems and risks as well as the impact of climate change on water resources in Central Asian countries and Afghanistan. It provides information on the genesis of river basins, physical and chemical properties of water in rivers, and the hydrological regimes of the rivers of Central Asia and Afghanistan. The book is useful for scientists and researchers whose work focuses on rivers and the use of water resources, irrigation, ecosystems, risks, water supply, climate change and remote sensing, as well as for students and planners, administrations and other stakeholders in the water sector.
