Water Resources Management II

About this book

Reviewing some of the most recent developments associated with the management of surface and sub-surface water resources, this book contains papers presented at the Second International Conference on Water Resources Management. The contributions come from specialists involved in research and development activities across a wide range of water resources and management topics. Individual papers are divided under the headings: quality and pollution control; water management and planning; river basin management; irrigation problems; residential water management; waste water treatment and management; decision support systems; hydrological modelling; reservoirs and lakes; and flood risk. A series of invited contributions by well-known researchers are also featured.
