While 79% of total water use in Asia occurs in agriculture, the fastest increases in demand are emanating from industry and from urban areas....

Water Quality Management : Present Situations, Challenges and Future Perspectives
ISBN: 9780415688857 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 282 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The global attention in recent years has focused primarily on water quantity and allocation issues. Water quality has received significantly less attention than water quantity. Commendable progress has been made by the developed world to control point sources of pollution, but commensurate progress in reducing non-point sources has not been made. In the third world countries both point and non-point sources of pollution are becoming increasingly a serious concern. Already, nearly all water bodies in such countries near and around urban centres have been severely polluted, with very high...

Water Institutions: Policies, Performance and Prospects
ISBN: 9783642062773 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. It is being increasingly realised that water is likely to be one of the most critical resource issues for the first half of the twenty-first century. Accelerating demand for water for various uses and user groups and ineffective measures to address - ter quality decline from point and non-point sources of pollution, have made water management more complex and difficult than ever before in human history. All the current trends indicate that water management will become even more c- plex in the future because of society's higher demands for good quality water, and new and emerging impacts on...

To plan successfully and manage the increased uncertainties posed by likely future climate change, knowledge needs to advance much more for the water profession beyond what it is now available. Meeting these challenges does not depend exclusively on advances in climatological-hydrologic models. Policies for adaptation and strategies for mitigation measures have to be formulated on the basis of what are likely to be the potential impacts. These will have to be regularly fine-tuned and implemented according to changing needs and as more reliable knowledge and data become available. Even more...

Water Quality Management in the Americas
ISBN: 9783642063541 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 298 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Considerable attention has been given during the past few years to the water crisis that many regions of the world may face in the coming decades. While the mag- tude and the extent of the global water scarcity problems of the future should not be underestimated, a serious analysis of the current trends indicate that the main water crisis in the coming years is most likely to stem primarily from water quality deterioration and lack of investment funds, rather than from physical water scar- ties per se, as is widely expected at present. In spite of the seriousness of continuing water quality...

The Human Right to Water: Justice . . . or Sham?
ISBN: 9781498294065 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 428 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Water is a matter of life and death. Advanced technology and engineering enable humans to gain better access to it. Nonetheless, the conditions and effort required to reach this goal remain colossal in many countries. Building a lasting infrastructure for adequate treatment before and after use is costly. Therefore, the author believes that a radical change of thinking among people around the world, from the domestic to the large-scale users, becomes a priority. Even if the United Nations entitles all people to justice for water, more responsible and ethical use of it by all interested...
