Water Resources: An Integrated Approach

By Katherine Potter

Water resources refer to the natural supplies of water that are available for various human activities, including household, industrial, agricultural, and environmental uses. The management of these water resources, particularly through the regulation and manipulation of the water cycle, is known as water engineering. The primary objective of water engineering is to optimize the use of potable water, which is a finite and valuable resource. This field emphasizes the design of sustainable, safe, and contextually appropriate solutions that consider local ecological conditions, meet both current and future needs, and account for potential climate changes. Water engineering also includes water treatment, hydraulic modeling, and network modeling. Different approaches, evaluations and methodologies, and advanced studies on water resources have been included in this book. Some of the diverse topics covered in this book address the varied branches that fall under this category. Coherent flow of topics, student-friendly language and extensive use of examples make this book an invaluable source of knowledge.
