This book was released on 2003 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La escasez y la sobreutilización del agua dulce plantean una creciente y seria amenaza al desarrollo sostenible y a la protección del medio ambiente. La deficiente gestión de los recursos hídricos y del uso de la tierra pone en peligro la salud y el bienestar humano, la seguridad alimentaria, el desarrollo industrial y los ecosistemas ligados a los recursos hídricos. Esta deficiencia en la gestión ha sido reconocida por los gobiernos y organizaciones internacionales, y las propuestas de la Unión Europea y Naciones Unidas se basan en la utilización de los instrumentos económicos para conseguir el uso sostenible de los recursos hídricos. Este libro es el resultado del Seminario Internacional de Gestión de Demanda de Agua, que se celebró en 2002 en Zaragoza, y en el que participaron varios expertos que trabajan en el campo de la economía y la política del agua. El libro presenta la contribución de estos expertos que analizan los instrumentos económicos en la gestión de los recursos hídricos, y que examinan desde enfoques teóricos, empíricos, e institucionales la utilización de estos instrumentos para conseguir un uso sostenible del agua en la agricultura. El libro está dirigido a los estudiosos y profesionales vinculados a la gestión de los recursos hídricos, en sus facetas económica, ecológica e hidrológica, y a los asesores y responsables de la toma de decisiones en la administración pública, la empresa privada, las organizaciones sociales y los grupos de presión.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En España se da la paradoja que existiendo una larga tradición de política hidráulica, de instituciones para la gestión del agua y de tecnología de regulación, transporte, distribución y aplicación del agua en sus distintos usos, apenas se han desarrollado estudios sobre la economía del agua. Esta circunstancia responde a que en nuestro país la aproximación a la política hidráulica y a la planificación hidrológica se ha producido históricamente desde una perspectiva exclusivamente técnica y no económica. El presente libro desarrolla, a lo largo de los primeros capítulos, los principios básicos de la economía y política de gestión del agua y resume las experiencias internacionales más relevantes sobre políticas de oferta y demanda. La segunda parte, y núcleo central del libro, presenta los resultados de una exhaustiva investigación llevada a cabo en quince zonas regables pertenecientes a las cuencas hidrográficas del Duero, Guadiana, Guadalquivir, Júcar y Segura que ha permitido estimar las curvas de demanda de agua de dichas zonas regables y evaluar diversas políticas de gestión del agua en la agricultura española, propuesta desde distintos ámbitos. La investigación se ha llevado a cabo mediante un convenio entre la UPM y el MAPA bajo la dirección de José Ma Sumpsi Viñas, catedrático de dicha universidad. El carácter híbrido del libro, conceptual y teórico por un lado pero empírico y aplicado por otro, hace que su lectura sea interesante tanto para alumnos y estudiosos del tema como para profesionales vinculados a la agricultura del regadío, así como para responsables de la gestión del agua en el sector agrario, sector que en España, al igual que en la mayoría de los países mediterráneos, utiliza la mayor parte de los recursos hídricos disponibles.
Download or read book Sustainable Development of Energy Water and Environment Systems N Vol III written by Naim Afgan and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2007 with total page 602 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustainability is a new, important discourse aimed at promoting a new strategy in the development of energy, water and environmental (EWE) systems ? the key components that affect the quality of life on our planet. It is becoming increasingly clear that the quest for sustainable development requires integrating economic, social, cultural, political and ecological factors. The behavior and properties of an EWE system arise not merely from the properties of its component elements, but also to a large degree also from the nature and intensity of their dynamic interlinkages. This volume helps clarify the complexity of these problems by providing a deeper understanding of the implications of the different aspects of sustainability.This work contains a collection of selected, peer-reviewed and state-of-the-art reflecting papers that were presented at the Third Dubrovnik Conference on Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems that was held in June 5?10, 2005 in Dubrovnik, Croatia.

Download or read book Irrigation in the Mediterranean written by François Molle and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-05-09 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mediterranean irrigation is diverse due to, among other factors, the relative importance of water in the economy of each country, varied levels of aridity, heterogeneous levels economic, social and technological levels of development, and differences in political and social organization. However, most of the Mediterranean countries face similar problems to meet their water demands because of the scarcity and variability of renewable resources, growing water requirements from non-agricultural sectors, increasing environmental concerns related to water quality and environmental degradation, a social demand for larger public participation, and important technological changes. The time has come to reconsider the “not one drop lost to the sea” philosophy of yesteryears largely and to 'live within limits'. This book focuses on eight selected countries (Tunisia, Morocco, Spain, France, Italy, Turkey, Israel and Egypt) and provides a comparative perspective that both thoroughly explores their specificities and identifies the common challenges faced by the irrigation sector in these countries. The book has been written at a critical moment, when the continued application of a supply-side water management model is revealing its unsustainable nature in numerous places; when significant technological changes are taking place in the irrigation sector; when new forms of management and governance are widely held as badly needed; and finally, when climate change is compounding many of the difficulties that have characterized irrigation policies and practices in the past decades. This complicated future context makes Mediterranean irrigation face various political dilemmas on water management, raising social tensions, triggering territorial and land conflicts, and stimulating new technological developments. This book provides a timely analysis of the particular trajectory of eight Mediterranean countries in these uncertain transformations, and attempts to identify the best strategies to avert or overcome future risks.

This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The continued poverty of the majority of the planet's inhabitants and excessive consumption by the minority are the two major causes of environmental degradation The present course is unsustainable and postponing action is no longer an option. Inspired political leadership and intense cooperation across all regions and sectors will be needed to put both existing and new policy instruments to work. ' From the Synthesis Global Environment Outlook 2000 (GEO-2000) is a comprehensive and authoritative review and analysis of environmental conditions around the world. It is the flagship publication of the world's leading environmental organization, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and is based on information provided by more than 30 regional and international collaborating centres. The book presents a region-by-region analysis of the state of the world's environment, highlighting key global concerns and making recommendations for policy action. The regions covered include Africa, Asia and the Pacific, Europe and Central Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, North America, West Asia and the Polar Areas. Chapter 1: Global Perspectives describes the main drivers of environmental change, such as the economy, population growth, political organization and regionalization, as well as potential impacts of recent global developments including the growth of the consumer culture, trade and international debt. Chapter 2: The State of the Environment provides a global and region-by-region overview of the environment at the end of the second millennium. The chapter covers global issues such as ozone, climate change, El Nifio and nitrogen loading, and universal issues of land and food, forests, biodiversity, freshwater, marine and coastal areas, atmosphere and urban areas. Chapter 3: Policy Responses reviews the broad range of policy instruments and responses being used to address environmental issues, including multilateral environmental agreements, and analyses the difficulties of compliance, implementation and assessment. Chapter 4: Future Perspectives looks at environmental issues that will require priority attention in the 21st century and some alternative policy options that could be used in the regions. Chapter 5: Outlook and Recommendations makes recommendations for future action based on the environmental legacy left by past and present policy and management systems. GEO-2000 will be the benchmark reference and guide to the state of the global environment. Written in clear, non-technical language and supported throughout by informative graphics and tables, it is essential reading for all those involved in environmental policy making, implementation and assessment, and for researchers and students of regional and global environmental issues.
