From Headwaters to the Ocean - Hydrological Change Water Management Hydrochange 2008, 1 3 October

Informationen zum Autor Makoto Taniguchi, William C. Burnett, Yoshihiro Fukushima, Martin Haigh, Yu Umezawa Zusammenfassung Collection of contributions on integrated water management from headwater to the ocean in a time of globally increasing vulnerability of water resources, due to climate change and human activities. Impact of hydrological changes is discussed from basin through coastal water exchanges to the ocean. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1. Land-atmosphere interaction; 2. Headwater environment: impacts of climate change and human intervention; 3. Strategic planning and environmental assessments of activities in headwater areas; 4. Environmental education for sustainable development: the role of mountain and headwater landscapes; 5. Hydrological models in support of integrated water resources management; 6. Groundwater-surface water interaction; 7. Remote sensing for measuring water balance, hydrodynamics and hydrological processes; 8. Interaction between the groundwater resources and ecosystems; 9.
