DOWNLOAD EBOOKWater is one of the most vital resources on Earth and plays a crucial role in sustaining life. With the rapid increase in population and urbanization, the demand for water has been increasing exponentially, leading to an immense pressure on the existing water resources. In this context, the assessment, modelling, and management of water resources have become crucial to ensure sustainable development. This book, "Water Resources Assessment, Modelling and Management," is a collection of 101 articles that delve into various topics related to water resources. It covers various aspects related to surface water, groundwater, surface water modelling, groundwater modelling, management of water resources, challenges and strategies, advanced techniques in water resources, thrust areas. The book provides a special emphasis on water resources issues and management in India, which is crucial due to the significant water-related challenges faced by the country. The articles in the book offer a broad overview of the latest techniques, tools, and strategies used in the assessment, modelling, and management of water resources. Each article is concise, with a length of around three pages, and provides a brief yet informative summary of the respective topic. The aim of the book is to provide readers with a quick and accessible overview of each topic, without delving too deeply into technical details or using equations. To keep the content straightforward and easy to understand, the articles do not contain equations. However, readers who wish to explore a topic in more depth are encouraged to consult other relevant books and resources, where they can find more comprehensive information and mathematical formulations. The book aims to be a valuable resource for water resources professionals, researchers, and students who are interested in understanding the challenges associated with water resources and the strategies for their management. It covers a wide range of topics, including the latest techniques and tools used in water resources management, and the impact of climate change on water resources. Overall, the book provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of knowledge and practice in the assessment, modelling, and management of water resources. The book is expected to serve as a useful reference for anyone interested in this important and timely topic.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis 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.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWater Related Education, Training and Technology Transfer is a component of Encyclopedia of Water Sciences, Engineering and Technology Resources in the global Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems (EOLSS), which is an integrated compendium of twenty one Encyclopedias. Learning processes offer knowledge, skills, and competencies to the individual through different methods of education and training. The learning society and the concept of lifelong learning form the basis for the so-called “knowledge-based” economy. Since water resources development and management are an essential part of this economy, education, training, and transfer of technology for water resources should be seen as important aspects of societal policies for a sustainable future. This book starts with a little history, and introduces several issues related to water resources in the learning environment. What does the water profession expect from education? We must consider the methods and tools used the need to match demand and supply, and quality assessment of education and training. Transfer of technology to close the technology gap between countries can only be effective if an enabling learning environment exists. Capacity building must ensure that this environment is sustainable. This volume is aimed at the following five major target audiences: University and College students Educators, Professional practitioners, Research personnel and Policy analysts, managers, and decision makers and NGOs.
