INSTRUCTORSAll instructor resources (.see Exceptions) are now available on our. SummaryCovering the various aspects of water and climate change, Climate Change and Water Resources presents the principles of climate change science and its effects on earth’s water supply. Utilizing the knowledge and expertise from well-known experts in the field, the text provides a broad outline of the many interrelated aspects of climate variations, climate change, and connections to water resources. Designed to help managers with developing strategies, implementing policies, and investing in infrastructure and information sources for integrated water resources management, the text addresses many issues regarding climate change and water resources.
It also includes adaptation options, which are essential to water resource sustainability.The material is divided into four sections. The first part of the book provides an introduction to climate change and considers theoretical aspects and available tools. The second part of the book examines the impacts that climate change has on the water sector. The third part focuses on the different adaptation measures needed to minimize the effects of climate change.
The fourth part presents a number of case studies.Focused on climate change in the water sector, Climate Change and Water Resources closely analyzes scientific research and fuels study for a greater understanding of climate change and the proper management of water. This text is useful for undergraduate and postgraduate students, scientists, and design engineers as well as those working at research institutes and implementing and planning agencies. Assistant Professor, Asian Institute of Technology (AIT),Dr. Sangam Shrestha is assistant professor of Water Engineering and Management (WEM) at the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) in Thailand, and a visiting faculty of the University of Yamanashi, Japan. His research interests are in the field of water resources, climate change and adaptation in water.
Climate Change And Water Quality
After completing his PhD, Dr. Shrestha continued his postdoctoral research in the Global Centre of Excellence (GCOE) project at the University of Yamanashi in Japan. He has published nearly two dozen peer-reviewed articles in refereed journals and regularly reviews articles for several international journals.
Water Use And Climate Change
Climate change is changing our assumptions about water resources. As climate change warms the atmosphere, altering the hydrologic cycle, changes to the amount, timing, form, and intensity of precipitation will continue. Other expected changes include the flow of water in watersheds, as well as the quality of aquatic and marine environments. These impacts are likely to affect the programs designed to protect water quality, public health, and safety.EPA is working with state, tribal, and local governments, as well as communities, to build resiliency and develop tools to respond to climate change. Learn about the steps EPA is taking to address the impacts of climate change in the water sector.
