Water Sustainability and Hydrological Extremes: Quantity, Quality, and Security presents a study for the mitigation of hydrological extremes through case studies. The focus is on the effect of extremes on water quality and the fate of geogenic, microbial, anthropogenic pollutants in the water cycle, and the interaction of water quality and quantity variations. The book integrates rapidly growing diverse topics, such as co-occurrence variation in water quantity and quality, water supply, sanitation, and hygiene. Stakeholders’ participation and raising awareness for sustainable management strategies for hydrological extremes and water management systems is also covered.

This thorough guide serves as a pillar to postgraduate students and researchers as it’s centered on discovering remediation and natural attenuation of hydrological extremes with a special emphasis on present and future challenges.

Vivek Agarwal is a Lecturer at the School of Engineering, Northumbria University, Newcastle, United Kingdom. Before this, he pursued his PhD from the University of Nottingham in Geospatial Environment Engineering. His thesis title was “Study of groundwater properties and behavior using geospatial tools”, and he was awarded “the best PhD Thesis award” for his doctoral thesis. Dr. Agarwal has published 10+ international publications. He has a wide-ranging research interest in subjects related to civil engineering and interdisciplinary areas. His expertise is in remote sensing, GIS, water supply, hydraulics, fluid mechanics, water quality and sewage pollution. He intends to combine NASA’s GRACE gravity anomalies relating and InSAR land subsidence data relating them to groundwater quantity and quality variations. The aim of the research is to find solutions to the Climate Emergency by better understanding and managing the earth’s groundwater resources.
