{"product_id":"principles-of-water-resources-isbn-9781118790298","title":"Principles of Water Resources","description":"Proper management of water resources can take many forms, and requires the knowledge and expertise to work at the intersection of mathematics, geology, biology, geography, meteorology, political science, and even psychology. This book provides an essential foundation in water management and development concepts and practices, dissecting complex topics into short, understandable explanations that spark true interest in the field. Approaching the study of water resources systematically, the discussion begins with historical perspective before moving on to physical processes, engineering, water chemistry, government regulation, environmental issues, global conflict, and more. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eNow in its fourth edition, this text provides the most current introduction to a field that is becoming ever more critical as climate change begins to threaten water supplies around the world. As geography, climate, population growth, and technology collide, effective resource management must include a comprehensive understanding of how these forces intermingle and come to life in the water so critical to us all. \u003cp\u003eAbout The Author iv\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface v\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBook Companion Website xiv\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eINTRODUCTION\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEmerging Water Issues And Challenges 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGlobal Water Issues 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePopulation 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLack of Wastewater Treatment 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEnvironmental Degradation 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eClimate Change 2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGlobal Water Efforts 2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDrinking Water Quality 2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWater Conservation 3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGroundwater Recharge 4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDam Construction 4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDesalination 5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFood for Thought 6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eScenario 1: “Business as Usual” 6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eScenario 2: “Technology Saves the Day” 6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eScenario 3: “Global Warming Floods the World” 7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eScenario 4: “Space Is the Answer” 7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhat Can I Do? 7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCHAPTER 1 HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE OF WATER USE AND DEVELOPMENT 9\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDrinking Water for Early Civilizations 9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEarly Irrigation and Flood-Control Projects 14\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEgypt 14\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChina 14\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Middle East 17\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndia, Spain, Portugal, and South America 17\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNorth America 18\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEarly Water Transportation Development 21\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEgypt and Greece 21\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChina 21\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEurope 21\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe United States 23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEarly Hydropower Development 25\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCHAPTER 2 THE HYDROLOGIC CYCLE, CLIMATE, AND WEATHER 30\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Properties of Water 30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Hydrologic Cycle 32\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePrecipitation 32\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMeasuring Precipitation 35\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRunoff 38\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSurface and Groundwater Storage 38\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLakes and Reservoirs 38\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCASE STUDY The Aral Sea of Uzbekistan 40\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWetlands 41\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGroundwater 41\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEvaporation, Transpiration, and Consumptive Use 42\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCondensation 45\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGUEST ESSAY Fog Harvesting by Dr.\u003ci\u003e Robert S.
