About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“This book focuses on the technologies available to assess, manage, and develop water resources in arid regions worldwide. … The book highlights the problems with past management methods and offers new solutions that take a holistic approach by recognizing and considering economic, sociocultural, and political issues. … the authors address current and best practices in easy-to-understand language. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduate through graduate students in environmental sciences/economics, engineering, or hydrogeology; researchers/faculty; professionals/practitioners; government officials in arid regions worldwide.” (M. E. Lenczewski, Choice, Vol. 50 (8), April, 2013)Authors and Affiliations
