This book was released on 2007-10-01 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Natural and human-induced changes in Earth's interior, land surface, biosphere, atmosphere, and oceans affect all aspects of life. Understanding these changes requires a range of observations acquired from land-, sea-, air-, and space-based platforms. To assist NASA, NOAA, and USGS in developing these tools, the NRC was asked to carry out a "decadal strategy" survey of Earth science and applications from space that would develop the key scientific questions on which to focus Earth and environmental observations in the period 2005-2015 and beyond, and present a prioritized list of space programs, missions, and supporting activities to address these questions. This report presents a vision for the Earth science program; an analysis of the existing Earth Observing System and recommendations to help restore its capabilities; an assessment of and recommendations for new observations and missions for the next decade; an examination of and recommendations for effective application of those observations; and an analysis of how best to sustain that observation and applications system.

Download or read book Globalization of Water written by Arjen Y. Hoekstra and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-08-31 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globalization of Water is a first-of-its-kind review of the critical relationship between globalization and sustainable water management. It explores the impact of international trade on local water depletion and pollution and identifies “water dependent” nations. Examines the critical link between water management and international trade, considering how local water depletion and pollution are often closely tied to the structure of the global economy Offers a consumer-based indicator of each nation’s water use: the water footprint Questions whether trade can enhance global water use efficiency, or whether it simply shifts the environmental burden to a distant location Highlights the hidden link between national consumption and the use of water resources across the globe, identifying the threats facing ‘water dependent’ countries worldwide Provides a state-of-the-art review and in-depth data source for a new field of knowledge

Download or read book World Water Vision written by William J. Cosgrove and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-03-18 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than a billion people cannot get safe drinking water; half the world's population does not have adequate sanitation; within a generation over three billion will be suffering from water stress. This text analyzes the issues in this crisis of management and shows how water can be used effectively and productively. The key to sustainable water resources is an integrated approach. The authors assert that careful planning and concerted action can make the fundamental changes needed and that the implications of not dealing with the crisis are immense. The book comes with a CD ROM containing background research and scenarios.

Download or read book Water in a Changing World written by John Pitlick and published by Wiley-Blackwell. This book was released on 2009-01-30 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hydrology has evolved over the last 30–40 yr from a discipline focused primarily on techniques used in engineering design, to a discipline that seeks a broader scientific understanding of the processes that cycle water between the Earth’s atmosphere and land surface. Over roughly the same time period, the world’s population has doubled, and now almost all areas of the globe are experiencing shortages in either water supplies or the availability of clean water; these problems are particularly acute in developing countries. This book gives new meaning to the importance of “hydrology and water resources”, to explain in clear but sufficiently rigorous terms how the movement and storage of water in its various forms is relevant to the expanding needs of society (or ecosystems, as the case may be). The book is structured around the water balance (precipitation, evaporation, soil moisture storage and runoff); balancing technical details with a discussion of the broader relevance of emerging techniques and/or scientific findings. This is achieved by the authors drawing on their many professional experiences, plus the knowledge gained from working with other researchers, both pure and applied.
Download or read book World Water Actions written by Francois Guerquin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-09-23 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text is divided into three parts. Part I focuses on the need for management to assess the challenges of water scarcity and plan changes based on proper valuation and financial instruments, international co-operation and efficient use. Part II analyses the problems of water scarcity and the available solutions in each main sector: water supply and sanitation, energy, health, agriculture, ecosystems and biodiversity. Part III assesses the state of the debate following the third World Water Forum and sets out the priorities for action, including increased investment, institutional reform and capacity building in the water sector. Downloadable resources with extensive case studies and statistical data accompanies this text.
