This book was released on 1978 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Estuaries and their associated lands have traditionally provided abundantly for the needs of civilized man. Settlements based on estuarine resources have historically been prosperous, leading the hinterland not only in material wealth but in development and cultural values. They were favoured sites for important cities, attracting commerce and industry, and rising to become keystones to political and economic power. Self renewal of the estuarine environment through daily tidal action and through seasonal fluctuations in water flow permitted intensive use of the resources. Only in recent times, as the estuarine ecosystems were confronted with population and industrial pressures beyond their power to withstand or adjust to, their susceptibility to serious deterioration or destruction was recognized"--Introduction.

Download or read book Planning Estuaries written by Cees-Jan van Westen and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pilot study on estuarine management was initiated by the NATO Committee on the Challenges of Modem Society (CCMS). The objective of this project was to make a comparison of several estuarine management strategies and to formulate a set of recommen dations and planning guidelines to restore polluted estuaries, to prevent further estuarine deterioration, and to manage conflicting demands stemming from human activities. The first results of this NATO-CCMS project were reported in 1982, describing six estuaries and their management approaches. In 1985 CCMS decided a subsequent research project should be performed to achieve the original objectives. This second research project was basically done by way of a comprehensive questionnaire that was sent to authorities of estuarine areas all over the world. Eleven questionnaires have been received. In some instances, the questionnaires were not fully completed for several reasons. Especially, data on water quality was lacking. As a result, less attention will be paid to related aspects as originally intended. This study shows that knowledge of the number of functions and conflicts of estuaries may provide relevant information concerning the severity of the problems as well as the propensity towards planning of water systems.

Download or read book Benefit Transfer of Environmental and Resource Values written by Robert J. Johnston and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive review of environmental benefit transfer methods, issues and challenges, covering topics relevant to researchers and practitioners. Early chapters provide accessible introductory materials suitable for non-economists. These chapters also detail how benefit transfer is used within the policy process. Later chapters cover more advanced topics suited to valuation researchers, graduate students and those with similar knowledge of economic and statistical theory and methods. This book provides the most complete coverage of environmental benefit transfer methods available in a single location. The book targets a wide audience, including undergraduate and graduate students, practitioners in economics and other disciplines looking for a one-stop handbook covering benefit transfer topics and those who wish to apply or evaluate benefit transfer methods. It is designed for those both with and without training in economics
