Regional Management of Water Resources (IAHS Proceedings & Reports)

Effective and better integrated regional water resources management is needed more than ever to complement the increasing demand on water resources. Not only is demand rising, the paradigms of water management are shifting in recognition of the importance of ecosystem functions in providing the life support system for the planet. Such challenges call for innovation. This volume embraces a holistic and comprehensive approach. The focus is on methodological developments in modelling at different scales, and applications of different types of models addressing open questions in practical water management.The International Association of Hydrological Sciences is the world's premier member-based organization promoting the study and practice of Hydrology. Our books are authored, edited and produced at the highest level of quality, with the most current and thorough research. Our publications and our work advance the science and the professional practice of Hydrology in a variety of Science and Engineering fields around the world. The areas that we publish in include: -Ground water -Surface water -Snow and ice hydrology -Drought and desertification -Runoff modelling -Watershed -Remote sensing -Water quality -Water resources and management -Ecohydrology/hydro-ecology -Erosion and sediment -Tracer hydrology
