Neo-Thinking on Ganges-Brahmaputra Basin Geomorphology
ISBN: 9783319264424 / Angielski / Twarda / 177 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book explores the latest advances in our understanding of the evolution of the Ganga-Brahmaputra delta, examining the Damodar basin, Bhagirathi-Hooghly basin and Jalangi basin from historical, quantitative and applied geomorphology perspectives. The evolution of the Ganga-Brahmaputra delta is highly complex and remains poorly understood. To address that gap, this edited volume presents 11 research papers: the first seven chapters focus on the pure geomorphology and geohydrology of the delta, while the remaining four examine its applied geomorphological aspects.

Irrigated Agriculture in Egypt: Past, Present and Future
ISBN: 9783319302157 / Angielski / Twarda / 290 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book targets the issue of water scarcity in Egypt as a typical example of the world water crisis. Today, the available water resource is facing its limit because of rapid increase in water demand as a result of population growth and changes in peoples life-style. The basic idea to solve the problem of water scarcity is that the irrigation sector, the biggest user of water, should increase water use efficiency. However, the real problem is how this can be achieved in view of the crucial need for water in this sector. This book addresses this challenge through case studies from the Nile...

When the Seas Rise: Global Changes and Local Impacts
ISBN: 9781942852179 / Angielski / Miękka / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The University of Florida has an ambitious goal: to harness the power of its faculty, staff, students, and alumni to solve some of society s most pressing problems and to become a resource for the state of Florida, the nation, and the world.
Sea levels are rising around the globe, and in Florida with its 1,200 miles of coastline and mostly flat topography this is of particular concern. The state depends on coastal cities, where 75 percent of the population lives and where more than four-fifths of its economic activity takes place. When economists tally up the likely costs of rising seas,...
