Overview

Containing research on recent technological and scientific developments associated with the management of surface and sub-surface water, this book consists of papers presented at the Seventh International Conference on Water Resources Management. The biennial conference, first held in 1991, is one of several water-related conferences organised by the Wessex Institute of Technology. We have reached a point where water has become quite a precious resource, with communities around the world struggling to ensure adequate supply to their people. The research shared in this volume is an important contribution to the body of literature on the topic. The research papers contained in this volume cover: Water Management and Planning; Water Policies; Urban Water Management; Water Quality; Flood Risk; Hydraulic Engineering.
