Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is open access under a CC BY-NC 4.0 license. This revised, updated textbook presents a systems approach to the planning, management, and operation of water resources infrastructure in the environment. Previously published in 2005 by UNESCO and Deltares (Delft Hydraulics at the time), this new edition, written again with contributions from Jery R. Stedinger, Jozef P. M. Dijkman, and Monique T. Villars, is aimed equally at students and professionals. It introduces readers to the concept of viewing issues involving water resources as a system of multiple interacting components and scales. It offers guidelines for initiating and carrying out water resource system planning and management projects. It introduces alternative optimization, simulation, and statistical methods useful for project identification, design, siting, operation and evaluation and for studying post-planning issues. The authors cover both basin-wide and urban water issues and present ways of identifying and evaluating alternatives for addressing multiple-purpose and multi-objective water quantity and quality management challenges. Reinforced with cases studies, exercises, and media supplements throughout, the text is ideal for upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses in water resource planning and management as well as for practicing planners and engineers in the field.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Water Resource Management Plan, Redwood National Park: An Amendment to the Resources Management Plan; December, 1985 The Resources Management Plan and Environmental Assessment (1982) serves as the reference document for this Water Resources Management Plan. Natural Resource Project statements from the Resources Management Plan which consider water resources are used in this plan. As described in the Resources Management Plan Redwood National Park has two distinctive physiographic environments the coastline and the Coast Range mountains. The coastline has been largely undeveloped by humans. It is rugged, with stretches of steep, rocky cliffs broken by rolling slopes that are covered by grasslands, shrub or forests. The tidal zone is predominantly rocky and difficult to traverse but is interspersed with sand beaches, including Gold Bluffs Beach, a seven-mile expanse of dunes and sandy beach, Crescent Beach and others.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Provides the tools that allow companies to understand the fundamental concepts of water resource management and to take proper action towards sustainable development Businesses, communities, and ecosystems everywhere depend on clean freshwater to survive and prosper. When the same source of water is shared for economic, social, and environmental causes it becomes the responsibility of every sector to develop a sustainable water strategy beneficial for all. This book offers a water resource management plan for industries that is directly implementable and consistent with the Water Framework Directives of different countries with a special emphasis on developing countries—a plan that is economically efficient, socially equitable, and environmentally sustainable. Industrial Water Resource Management, Challenges and Opportunities for Efficient Water Stewardship offers explicit technical and investment solutions, socioeconomic and legal instruments, and recommendations for institutional restructuring. Written by a leading world expert in the field, it covers a wide range of topics including: ● Source water assessment and protection ● Water audit, industrial water footprint assessment—an evaluation of tools and methodologies ● Corporate water disclosure methods and tools ● Water stewardship by the industries ● Stakeholder collaboration and engagement ● New technologies enabling companies to better manage water resources Given the well-known challenge of managing natural resources in a way that maximizes and sustains social welfare, this book provides an invaluable point of reference for applied researchers and policy makers working in water resources management.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Water Resources Management Plan: Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve, Florida; November 1996 Because the preserve is largely a hydrological phenomenon (75% wetlands and open water), water-related issues naturally dominate. For that reason, land use within and adjacent to the preserve as well as land use anywhere in the watersheds, connected by either groundwater or surface water, has the potential to affect the preserve. For example, varied land use results in: (1) severe water pollution in many St. Johns River tributaries upstream of the preserve; (2) elevated metal concentrations in upstream sediments of the St. Johns River; (3) industrial effluent (especially from pulp and paper mills) input upstream of the preserve; (4) presence of several landfills adjacent to the preserve; (5) several sites targeted for cleanup by the u.s. Environmental Protection Agency's Superfund program; and, (6) a propensity for malfunctioning septic systems within and adjacent to the preserve. While information exists concerning the water resources in the preserve, systematically collected information and adequate analysis addressing the preserve's water resources is lacking. The primary purpose of this water resources management plan is to provide information on potential threats to water resources of the preserve and guidance on immediate actions that can prevent or mitigate water resource degradation. Management of preserve water resources must also involve coordination among the numerous and diverse landowners as well as participation from all stakeholders. Units of the national park system are not required to develop a water resources management plan. However, where water resource issues or management constraints are particularly numerous, complex, or controversial, a water resources management plan is useful in providing an identification and analysis of water-related information and issues, and presenting a coordinated action plan to address them. The water resources management plan is complementary to and consistent with the general management plan for the preserve. The water resources management plan is similar to the preserve's resources management plan, but includes a more thorough review of existing information, an in-depth analysis of water resources issues, and the development of an action plan to address them.

Download or read book Water Resource Management Planning Guide for Savannah River Plant written by and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Water Resource Management Planning Guide provides an outline for the development of a Savannah River Plant Water Resource Management Plan (WRMP) to protect, manage, and monitor the site's water resources. The management plan is based on three principle elements: (1) protection of the water quality, (2) management of the water quantity, and (3) monitoring of the water quality and quantity. The plan will assure that changes in water quality and quantity are identified and that corrective action is implemented as needed. In addition, water management activities within and between Savannah River Plant (SRP) organizations and departments will be coordinated to ensure the proper management of water resources. This document is intended as a guide to suggest goals and objectives that will provide a basis for the development of a water resource plan for SRP. Planning should be flexible rather than rigid, and the plan outlines in this document was prepared to be modified or updated as conditions necessitate. 16 refs., 12 figs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes water policies in South Asia from the perspective of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM). It seeks to address the problems of water scarcity, conflict and pollution resulting from the gross mismanagement and over-exploitation of this finite resource. Highlighting the need for IWRM in mitigating abuse and ensuring sustainable use, it discusses issues relating to groundwater management; inter-state water conflicts; peri-urban water use; local traditional water management practices; coordination between water users and uses; and water integration at the grassroots level. With case studies from India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Nepal, the innovative, painstaking and transnational researches presented in the volume deal with questions of equity, gender, sustainability, and democratic governance in water policy interventions. It will interest researchers and students of development studies, environmental studies, natural resource management, water governance, and public administration, as also water sector professionals, policymakers, civil society activists and governmental and nongovernmental organizations.
Download or read book The Economics of Water written by Georg Meran and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-09-04 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access textbook provides a concise introduction to economic approaches and mathematical methods for the study of water allocation and distribution problems. Written in an accessible and straightforward style, it discusses and analyzes central issues in integrated water resource management, water tariffs, water markets, and transboundary water management. By illustrating the interplay between the hydrological cycle and the rules and institutions that govern today’s water allocation policies, the authors develop a modern perspective on water management. Moreover, the book presents an in-depth assessment of the political and ethical dimensions of water management and its institutional embeddedness, by discussing distribution issues and issues of the enforceability of human rights in managing water resources. Given its scope, the book will appeal to advanced undergraduate and graduate students of economics and engineering, as well as practitioners in the water sector, seeking a deeper understanding of economic approaches to the study of water management.
