Integrated Water Resources Management

About this book

Selected proceedings of the Living with Water conference held in Amsterdam in 1994. The papers deal with river basin management case studies; large scale development projects, particularly their hydrological and ecological impacts; control of non-point pollution; restoration of lake and river ecosystems; and new tools for applying integrated management.
