To effectively plan for and manage the uncertainties brought about by future climate change, the water profession must advance its knowledge significantly beyond current levels. This endeavor requires not only improvements in climatological-hydrologic models but also the formulation of adaptation policies and mitigation strategies based on anticipated impacts. These strategies must be regularly updated and implemented in response to evolving needs and the availability of more reliable data. The political landscape surrounding policy-making and implementation presents an additional challenge, necessitating a significant transformation from existing processes. Alongside the development of more accurate models, navigating the politics of climate change and water management is one of the greatest uncertainties facing the water profession. This work explores how water management practices can be adapted to address climatic uncertainties over the next few decades, outlining potential strategies and best practices needed to tackle current and anticipated challenges. It emphasizes the knowledge, information, and technological advancements required to integrate future climate change impacts into water resources management. The discussion includes decision-making in the water sector amid changing climates and societal water security, supported by case studies from various basins, cities, and regions worldwide.

Bibliography. Index. Biodiversity is the variety of life the different plants animals and micro organisms their genes and the ecosystems of which they are a part. It constitutes the most important working component of a natural ecosystem. Biodiversity helps maintain ecological processes creates soils recycles nutrients has moderating effect on the climate degrades waste controls diseases and above all provides an index of health of an ecosystem. The rich biodiversity of the world however has been under serious threat from a variety of human induced factors which can be measured by a reduction in the natural habitat loss of species and depletion of genetic diversity. Indicators of this change however are not easy to define since only a limited number of species have been identified and catalogued to date nevertheless the impact is serious. The purpose of this book is to provide an overview of the changing status of the world's biological diversity. It provides general information on the nature and scope of biological diversity and broad trends at genetic species and ecosystem level. It also covers a wide range of issues such as the causes and consequences of biodiversity erosion the strategies of biodiversity conservation the global biodiversity convention and its impacts. Being an all encompassing presentation on biodiversity the book is destined to become a highly useful reference tool for academicians researchers scientists administrators and ecoplanners. 288 pp.…

Index. Since life began on earth changes in the global climate have affected the distribution of organisms as well as their interactions. However human induced increases in atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases are causing much more rapid changes in the earth's climate than have been experienced for millennia. Evidence of global warming is plentiful and includes data on satellite measured sea level change lengthened growing season and increased precipitation intensities resulting in increased flood risk during winter in the northern hemisphere. With global warming on the increase and species and their habitats on the decrease chances for ecosystems to adapt naturally are diminishing. Recent years show increasing temperatures in various regions and/or increasing extremities in weather patterns. This book is a highly informative source on global warming and climate change issues that are perhaps the greatest threat to this planet. It describes the process of global climate change its current and future impacts on human health and how our societies can lessen those adverse impacts via adaptation strategies and by reducing green house gas emissions. It will be a valuable reference tool for environmental scientists activists and scholars in the field. 274 pp. …

Zustand: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | This book discusses various climate smart agro-technologies, their technical and economic feasibility across heterogeneous agro-climatic conditions, assessing farmers¿ willingness to adopt those technologies, impact of climate smart technology in agricultural production and possible policy and investment opportunities to upscale it. Containing eight chapters, the book starts with a discussion about the methodological aspects of priority setting of the farm technologies across various regions of South Asia including Eastern Indo-Gangetic plain, Western Indo-Gangetic Plain and arid regions. Using data from field based trials and expert solicitations, the book next deliberates on a list of feasible technologies, assessed by constructing climate smart Feasibility Index. Further on, there is an analysis, using stated preference method, of the behaviour of farmers in adopting climate smart technologies. Preference of women farmers has been given a special focus in this book. After discussing the method priority setting of the farm technologies, impact of climate smart technologies has been analysed using real time data. Government policies have been reviewed with the view of achieving climate smart agriculture in South Asia. The book also describes the optimization modelling framework for investment allocation and technology prioritization. The model integrates both the bio-physical and the economic optimization model to capture the agro-climatic heterogeneity within the region and the variability of technical feasibility across regions and crops. Results of this model will help policy makers to identify how much to invest, where to invest and what technologies to prioritize for investments. …

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The book is the first of its kind to deal with almost the entire swath of water resources assessment, development and sustainable management. The idea of the book crystallized during the long journey of the Editors on various facets of water issues in India and abroad during their extended association, at all levels with the Ministry of Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation, as well as International Organizations dealing with water.Currently water-stressed, India is likely to become water scarce in not too distant a future. The global freshwater supply and its sustainable use for human consumption, and conservation of the ecosystem have never come under such a rigorous scrutiny before. The unplanned and reckless exploitation of this precious resource have led to a crisis situation, compounded by a real threat of climate change. This book is, therefore, timely and of particular relevance not only to India but the entire world.The book contains 20 chapters, beside the lead article by the Editors. The chapters are contributed by the eminent professionals, researchers, academicians and civil society representatives having an in-depth understanding of the issues. The contents of the chapters have been chosen to represent all aspects of water. The assessment of water resources using satellite data and in-depth analyses of groundwater sector like, the Aquifer Mapping Programme initiated by Government of India, application of gravity satellite data to assess the resource build up, artificial recharge of aquifers and its contamination, are dealt with by eminent experts. The articles on sustainable management of water through good governance by community participation and involvement of civil society are placed. Flood management both through a basin level approach as well as by building resilience in vulnerable areas is discussed. Other critical issues like water bodies management, constitutional provisions, water governance andfinancial issues, hydro-power and need of research and development in this sector are also dealt with aptly. In view of emerging crisis and complexities in this sector the future pathways and the paradigm shift that is required in administrative and policy level is also discussed.…
