Natural Resources and Sustainable Environmental Management

The aim of this book is to integrate wide-ranging and interdisciplinary references on water resources and environmental systems, focusing on physical, chemical, and ecological processes controlling the water cycle of the Earth. This book highlights the dynamic interactions between surface water and groundwater, climate change and human activity. It illustrates advanced modeling approaches, sustainable management options, and novel technologies in water treatment and conservation in bridging theory and practice with policy. More critically, by integrating a scientific, engineering, and socio-political perspective, this book will act as a key resource for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers in the earth and environmental sciences.
