DOWNLOAD EBOOKFrom Catchment Management to Managing River Basins: Science, Technology Choices, Institutions and Policy synthesizes key scientific facts crucial for catchment assessment, planning and river basin water accounting. The book presents extensive reviews of international literature on catchment hydrology, forest hydrology and other hydrological processes, such as groundwater-surface water interactions. It discusses not only the science of catchment assessment and planning, but also the catchment planning process. It documents several of the positive international experiences with integrated catchment management and integrated basin management, distilling key learnings. Case studies from India and other parts of South Asia are also included, along with new pilot studies. Finally, the book discusses the theoretical and operational aspects of integrated catchment management and integrated water management in river basins using international best practices and case studies. - Discusses the theoretical nuances of scale effects in hydrology and land-use hydrology interactions - Focuses on managing water in a situation in which water has become scarce - Provides a theoretical discussion on water accounting procedures that is followed by an application of the methodology and tools in real-life case studies in two river basins of India - Presents applications of the concept of integrated water resources management for developing a WRM plan for an Indian river basin

DOWNLOAD EBOOKEvaluation of integrated catchment management (ICM) in a wet tropical environment (the Herbert River catchment, north Queensland ). This study provides information about the social, institutional and economic factors that can influence the success of ICM projects. One of the main outputs is a collection of reports, journal papers and databases that have been collated into a seven volume publication available in hardcopy, on CD-ROM or online at http://irum.sl.csiro.au/icm.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe central focus of this volume is a critical comparative analysis of the key drivers for water resource management and the provision of clean water – governance systems and institutional and legal arrangements. The authors present a systematic analysis of case study river systems drawn from Australia, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, UK and USA to provide an integrated global assessment of the scale and key features of catchment management. A key premise explored is that despite the diversity of jurisdictions and catchments there are commonalities to a successful approach. The authors show that environmental and public health water quality criteria must be integrated with the economic and social goals of those affected, necessitating a 'twin-track' and holistic (cross-sector and discipline) approach of stakeholder engagement and sound scientific research. A final synthesis presents a set of principles for adaptive catchment management. These principles demonstrate how to integrate the best scientific and technical knowledge with policy, governance and legal provisions. It is shown how decision-making and implementation at the appropriate geographic and governmental scales can resolve conflicts and share best sustainable practices.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe implicit partnership between multi-functional catchment management plans and landuse planning, with complementary economic instruments and legislation, has the potential to deliver sustainable development in terms of the water environment through a process which may be called 'integrated catchment planning'. The introduction of such a process of integrated catchment planning and management within the highly-developed River Thames Basin, where the many demands made on the water environment require complex multi-functional decision-making, has led over the past 10 years to a commitment to mathematical modelling of the whole of the River Thames and its tributaries. The paper describes in outline the various facets integrated catchment planning and river management, as exemplified by the River Thames experience, and discussess the contextual approach taken to river modelling.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe level of present water resources problems and their complexities makes it necessary that an integrated or total problem solving approach and decission making process is implemented for the management of our catchment-river system. One of the keys to future success of Catchment Management Planning (CMP) is the ability to provide numerous types of customized spatial information in a timely and economical manner. The paper aims to describe the potential use of GIS technology in managing the catchment river system linking to development issues, water and environmental parameters and models. Examples of case studies for Sg. Sintuk, Sg. Rompin and Sg. Melaka catchments are presented. GIS aided Catchment Management Planning is found to be helpful in decision making process as it offers greater insights of the objective analysis towards sustainable development. [Author's abstract].

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHANDBOOK OF CATCHMENT MANAGEMENT In 2010, the first edition of the Handbook of Catchment Management provided a benchmark on how our understanding and actions in water management within a catchment context had evolved in recent decades. Over ten years on, the catchment management concept is entering a new phase of development aligned to contemporary and future challenges. These include climate change uncertainty, further understanding in ecological functioning under change, the drive for a low-carbon, energy efficient and circular society, multiple uses of water, the emergence of new pollutants of concern, new approaches to valuation, finance and pricing mechanisms, stewardship and community engagement, the integration of water across the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and the link between water, energy and food. These developments are framed within an increasingly data rich world where new analytics, sensor technology and processing power are informing increasingly real-time decision making. The challenge is also to increase cross-compliance and policy integration to meet multiple stakeholder objectives, and to link actions to achieve cost-effective outcomes. In addition, there are a number of new and exciting city, region and basin-scale real-world examples of contemporary and new catchment thinking; integrating science, technology, knowledge and governance to address multiple drivers and complex problems from across the globe. The time is now right, to capture the new challenges facing catchment management and water resources management globally. This revised and updated edition of the Handbook of Catchment Management features: Thoroughly rewritten chapters which provide an up-to-date view of catchment management issues and contexts New case study material highlighting multi-sectoral management in different globally significant basins and different geographical locations Up-to-date topics selected for their resonance not only in natural sciences and engineering, but also in other fields, such as socio-economics, law and policy The Handbook is designed for a broad audience, but will be particularly useful for advanced students, researchers, academics and water sector professionals such as planners, consultants and regulators.
