Water and Sanitation: Economic and Sociological Perspectives presents the complex interrelationships involved in the development of water resources. This book discusses the global concern about the water problem and examines the issues relating to the worldwide management of water resources. Organized into 13 chapters, this book begins with an overview of the increasing recognition of the importance of water in the development of a country. This text then examines the numerous infections related to water supply and sanitation and describes its complex relationships. Other chapters consider the growing realization that women's roles are more than that of passive beneficiaries of water and sanitation projects. This book discusses as well the increasing demand on limited water resource due to the fast-growing population and its insatiable needs. The final chapter deals with the very costly and complicated method of conventional sewerage. This book is a valuable resource for public health engineers and waste technicians.

Over the past decade there have been extraordinary advances towards drought risk reduction with the development of new water-conserving technologies, and new tools for planning, vulnerability and impact assessment, mitigation, and policy. Drought and Water Crises: Integrating Science, Management, and Policy, Second Edition comprehensively captures this evolving progress as it discusses drought management in the light of present risks, global climate change and public policy actions. This new edition emphasizes the paradigm shift from managing disasters to managing risk, reflecting the global emphasis that has evolved in recent years, a new focus that shines light on preparedness strategies and the tools and methods that are essential in drought risk reduction. The book provides additional relevant case studies that integrate this new approach and discusses examples applied in both developed and developing countries.
