Water Resources: Crisis, Contamination and Management, Volume Five presents new and updated material and guidance on key procedures and protocols, along with timely topics such as climate change and integrated water resources management. The book is divided into three key sections which focus on sustainable development and management of water resources and techniques and methods for improving water use efficiency, the quality of water resources, migration of pollutant sources, geochemical processes, groundwater depletion, and a consolidated and coordinated approach to find the solution to water resource issues. Case studies illustrate key points.

This book presents a comprehensive overview of the field and is relevant for students, professors, scholars, researchers and consultants in the fields of water resources, civil engineering, environmental engineering and hydrology.

Provides an overview of the current status of water resources utilization, the likely scenario of future demands, and the advantages and disadvantages of systems techniques
Includes numerous examples and real-world case studies
Presents the roles of remote sensing and GIS in solving the water resource crisis
