Environmental Water Requirements in Mountainous Areas (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Dimitriou, Elias; Papadaki, Christina

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Environmental Water Requirements in Mountainous Areas presents comprehensive and scientifically sound approaches and methodologies for estimating the environmental water requirements and tradeoffs for water allocation by analyzing anthropogenic and natural water needs. The book covers environmental water management issues in mountainous areas, specifically focusing on the Mediterranean region which exhibits significant contrasts in its demographic and hydrologic features. The authors include paradigms and information that will be useful for water resources managers, decision makers, scientists working in the fields of ecology and water resources management, engineers that design hydraulic works, and environmental policymakers.

• Offers a complete background screening on theoretical and practical guidelines on estimating environmental water requirements in mountainous areas
• Promotes and guides interdisciplinary work with information on policies and best practices in the field of ecological flows and water resources management
• Provides examples and case studies on the successful implementation efforts of ecological flows to analyze lessons learned and overcome practical issues and solutions
