Water has evolved from a basic need to one of the world's most pressing issues. Freshwater supplies are under strain due to environmental degradation, urbanization, population growth, and climate change. Traditional management methods are insufficient, making smarter, more flexible solutions urgent. AI offers new hope. Smart Water Resources Management: AI for Resilience and Sustainability explores how AI can transform water governance. The book discusses AI's role in improving efficiency, demand forecasting, waste reduction, and climate-adaptive infrastructure. It also covers real-world...

Die Ernährungssicherheit ist eine der dringendsten globalen Herausforderungen unserer Zeit, die durch Armut, Klimawandel und Bevölkerungswachstum beeinflusst wird. Dabei geht es nicht nur um die Verfügbarkeit ausreichender und nahrhafter Lebensmittel, sondern auch um soziale, wirtschaftliche und ökologische Faktoren, die das menschliche Leben beeinflussen. Die Ernährungssicherheit ruht auf drei Säulen: Verfügbarkeit, Zugang und Nutzung. Störungen in einer dieser Säulen, insbesondere in Krisenzeiten, führen zu Ernährungsunsicherheit. Dieses Buch untersucht diese komplexen...

Food security is one of today's most urgent global challenges, influenced by poverty, climate change, and population growth. It involves not only the availability of sufficient and nutritious food but also social, economic, and environmental factors affecting human life. Food security rests on three pillars: availability, access, and utilization. Disruptions in any pillar, especially during crises, lead to food insecurity. This book explores these complexities in four chapters: the concept and global challenges of food security; impacts of land use changes and agricultural productivity; the...

La sécurité alimentaire est l'un des défis mondiaux les plus urgents, influencé par la pauvreté, le changement climatique et la croissance démographique. Elle implique non seulement la disponibilité d'une nourriture suffisante et nutritive, mais aussi des facteurs sociaux, économiques et environnementaux affectant la vie humaine. La sécurité alimentaire repose sur trois piliers : la disponibilité, l'accès et l'utilisation. Toute perturbation de l'un de ces piliers, en particulier en période de crise, conduit à l'insécurité alimentaire. Ce livre explore ces complexités en...

This book presents a comprehensive analysis of the complex interactions among climate change, agriculture, and water resources. It highlights how climate change, through phenomena like disrupted rainfall, rising temperatures, and widespread droughts, destabilizes the natural cycles of water and soil, posing a serious challenge to sustainable agricultural planning. The central innovation of this work is its integrated and systemic perspective, moving beyond single-dimension analyses to examine the interrelationships between water, soil, agriculture, and governance within a framework of...

In today's world, agriculture is no longer just a traditional practice for food production; it has become a technology-driven industry. With growing challenges such as climate change, population growth, and unsustainable water use, effective management of water resources is more critical than ever. As agriculture consumes around 70% of global freshwater, adopting modern irrigation technologies is essential. This book offers a comprehensive guide to modern irrigation systems, exploring their evolution, benefits, and challenges. It begins with an overview of traditional and advanced methods,...
