Informationen zum Autor Larry Mays Klappentext "The urban water management system is considered here as two integrated processes: water supply management and water excess management. The first six chapters provide an overview of the various aspects of IUWM in arid and semi-arid regions! with emphasis on water supply technologies! such as artificial recharge! water transfers! desalination! and rainwater harvesting. Water excess management is examined in the context of both stormwater management and floodplain management. Case studies from developed and developing countries are presented in order to emphasize the various needs and challenges of water management in urban environments in arid and semi-arid regions worldwide."--Publisher's description Zusammenfassung Examining integrated management of water resources in urban settings, this book focuses on issues specific to arid and semi-arid regions.
