Download or read book DayWater written by Daniel R. Thevenot and published by IWA Publishing. This book was released on 2008-03-15 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European DayWater project has developed a prototype of an Adaptive Decision Support System (ADSS) related to urban stormwater pollution source control. The DayWater ADSS greatly facilitates decision-making for stormwater source control, which is currently impeded by the large number of stakeholders involved and by the necessary multidisciplinary knowledge. This book presents the results of this project, providing new insights into both technical and management issues. The main objectives of its technical chapters are pollution source control modelling, risk and impact assessment, and evaluation and comparison of best management practices. It also covers management aspects, such as the analysis of the decision-making processes in stormwater source control, at a European scale, and stormwater management strategies in general. The combination of scientific-technical and socio-managerial knowledge, with the strong cooperation of numerous end-users, reflects the innovative character of this book which includes actual applications of the ADSS prototype in significant case studies. DayWater: an Adaptive Decision Support System for Urban Stormwater Management contains 26 chapters collectively prepared by DayWater scientific partners and end-users associated with this European Research and Development project. It includes: A general presentation of the DayWater Adaptive Decision Support System (ADSS) structure and operation modes A detailed description of the major components of this ADSS prototype The assessment of its components in significant case studies in France, Germany and Sweden The proceedings of the International Conference on Decision Support Systems for Integrated Urban Water Management, held in Paris on 3-4 November 2005. The book presents the ADSS prototype including a combination of freely accessible on-line databases, guidance documents, “road maps” and modelling or multi-criteria analysis tools. As demonstrated in several significant case studies the challenge for stormwater managers is to make the benefits of urban stormwater management visible to society, resulting in active co-operation of a diversity of stakeholders. Only then, will sustainable management succeed. DayWater: an Adaptive Decision Support System for Urban Stormwater Management advances this cause of sustainable urban management through Urban stormwater management, and makes achievable (by means of risk and vulnerability tools which are included) the goal of integrated urban water management (IUWM).

Book Synopsis The Mediterranean region under climate change by : Collectif
Download or read book The Mediterranean region under climate change written by Collectif and published by IRD Éditions. This book was released on 2018-11-19 with total page 736 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has been published by Allenvi (French National Alliance for Environmental Research) to coincide with the 22nd Conference of Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP22) in Marrakesh. It is the outcome of work by academic researchers on both sides of the Mediterranean and provides a remarkable scientific review of the mechanisms of climate change and its impacts on the environment, the economy, health and Mediterranean societies. It will also be valuable in developing responses that draw on “scientific evidence” to address the issues of adaptation, resource conservation, solutions and risk prevention. Reflecting the full complexity of the Mediterranean environment, the book is a major scientific contribution to the climate issue, where various scientific considerations converge to break down the boundaries between disciplines.

Book Synopsis Water & Heritage by : Willem Willems
Download or read book Water & Heritage written by Willem Willems and published by . This book was released on 2017-01-15 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water is vital for life, and its availability has been a concern for mankind throughout the ages. Its presence has always been ascertained in a variety of ways and the development of human society everywhere is connected with various forms of water management. Man also needed to manage water to find protection from its dangers and the need for that is increasing. In the coming decades, the impact of climate change is expected to intensify floods and droughts, affect groundwater resources, raise sea levels, increase pollution and enhance the frequency and magnitude of disasters. Societies around the world are challenged to adapt to these threats to ensure water security, economic prosperity and environmental and cultural sustainability. This book deals with the heritage of water management and the use that was made of water, as well as the impact of water management on heritage. An example of the former may be an ancient irrigation system in the Filipines or in the Middle East that still functions today, while the latter may reflect the importance of maintaining groundwater levels for the preservation of organic remains on archaeological sites or of wooden piles underneath standing buildings. In either case the papers in this book reflect the dynamic nature of water, and hence the equally dynamic relation between water management and heritage. This publication follows up on a Heritage and Water conference in Amsterdam, the first of its kind. Its main purpose is to credibly present the importance and value of heritage and historical experience for water and sustainable development, and vice versa, present the importance of water management for the protection of heritage. It presents evolving insights and concepts about Water and about Heritage from a variety of disciplines, policy and public perspectives illustrated with cases studies and aims to connect decision makers with experts such as engineers, archaeologists, historians, geographers, ecologist and landscape architects
Book Synopsis Mapping drought patterns and impacts: a global perspective by : Nishadi Eriyagama
Download or read book Mapping drought patterns and impacts: a global perspective written by Nishadi Eriyagama and published by IWMI. This book was released on 2009 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study examines the global pattern and impacts of droughts through mapping several drought-related characteristics - either at a country level or at regular grid scales. It appears that arid and semi-arid areas also tend to have a higher probability of drought occurrence. It is illustrated that the African continent is lagging behind the rest of the world on many indicators related to drought-preparedness and that agricultural economies, overall, are much more vulnerable to adverse societal impacts of meteorological droughts. The study also examines the ability of various countries to satisfy their water needs during droughts using storage-related indices.
Book Synopsis Human Mental Workload by : N. Meshkati
Download or read book Human Mental Workload written by N. Meshkati and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2011-09-02 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this volume is to look at the developments and changes that have occurred in the area of mental workload and its assessment since the NATO symposium was held in 1979. This has been achieved by inviting prominent researchers to survey their respective areas of expertise.Examined are the current methodologies, individual differences, unanswered questions, and future directions for the mental workload issue. Particular topics discussed include the properties of workload assessment techniques, physiological measures, heart rate variability, effort and fatigue in relation to the workload experienced during normal daily routines, subjective assessment techniques, and the cognitive psychology of subjective workload. A preliminary proposal for a cohesive model of mental load is presented. A bibliographic listing of contemporary research reports completes the volume.
Book Synopsis The Collaborative Public Manager by : Rosemary O'Leary
Download or read book The Collaborative Public Manager written by Rosemary O'Leary and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 2009-01-15 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today’s public managers not only have to function as leaders within their agencies, they must also establish and coordinate multi-organizational networks of other public agencies, private contractors, and the public. This important transformation has been the subject of an explosion of research in recent years. The Collaborative Public Manager brings together original contributions by some of today’s top public management and public policy scholars who address cutting-edge issues that affect government managers worldwide. State-of-the-art empirical research reveals why and how public managers collaborate and how they motivate others to do the same. Examining tough issues such as organizational design and performance, resource sharing, and contracting, the contributors draw lessons from real-life situations as they provide tools to meet the challenges of managing conflict within interorganizational, interpersonal networks. This book pushes scholars, students, and professionals to rethink what they know about collaborative public management—and to strive harder to achieve its full potential.
Book Synopsis Social Participation in Water Governance and Management by : Kate A. Berry
Download or read book Social Participation in Water Governance and Management written by Kate A. Berry and published by Earthscan. This book was released on 2010 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Social participation in water management and governance recently became a reality in many economies and societies. Yet the dimensions in which power regulation, social equity and democracy-building are connected with participation have been only tangentially analyzed for the water sector. Understanding the growing interest in social participation involves appreciating the specificity of the contemporary period within its historic and geographic contexts as well as uncovering larger political, economic and cultural trends of recent decades which frame participatory actions. Within a wide variety of cases presented from around the world, the reader will find critical analyses of participation and an array of political ecological processes that influence water governance. Sixteen chapters from a diverse group of scholars and practitioners examine water rights definition, hydropower dam construction, urban river renewal, irrigation organizations, water development NGOs, river basin management, water policy implementation and judicial decision-making in water conflicts. Yet there are commonalities in participatory experiences across this spectrum of water issues. The book's five sections highlight key dimensions of contemporary water management that influence, and in turn are influenced by, social participation. These sections are: participation and indigenous water governance; participation and the dynamics of gender in water management; participation and river basin governance; participation and implementation of water management and participation and the politics of water governance."--Back cover.
Book Synopsis Climate Change Impacts on Freshwater Ecosystems by : Martin Kernan
Download or read book Climate Change Impacts on Freshwater Ecosystems written by Martin Kernan and published by Wiley-Blackwell. This book was released on 2010-09-27 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text examines the impact of climate change on freshwater ecosystems, past, present and future. It especially considers the interactions between climate change and other drivers of change including hydromorphological modification, nutrient loading, acid deposition and contamination by toxic substances using evidence from palaeolimnology, time-series analysis, space-for-time substitution, laboratory and field experiments and process modelling. The book evaluates these processes in relation to extreme events, seasonal changes in ecosystems, trends over decadal-scale time periods, mitigation strategies and ecosystem recovery. The book is also concerned with how aspects of hydrophysical, hydrochemical and ecological change can be used as early indicators of climate change in aquatic ecosystems and it addresses the implications of future climate change for freshwater ecosystem management at the catchment scale. This is an ideal book for the scientific research community, but is also accessible to Masters and senior undergraduate students.

Book Synopsis Planète assoiffée: Quelle gouvernance mondiale pour l'eau? by : Daniel Allard
Download or read book Planète assoiffée: Quelle gouvernance mondiale pour l'eau? written by Daniel Allard and published by Éditions Sylvain Harvey. This book was released on 2023-07-12T00:00:00-04:00 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'eau ne sera jamais une ressource comme les autres : elle est le sang de l'écosystème global que constitue la planète qui accueille toute l'Humanité. Dans un ouvrage publié il y a une décennie déjà, une quarantaine de scientifiques concertés par le « Rés-eau-ville » du CNRS en France s’entendirent sur l’expression « eau mondialisée ». Ils renvoyaient à l’idée d’acteurs, cohabitant, en s’opposant dans une arène mouvante qui se joue des frontières de l’État-Nation. Si une vision mondiale de l’eau a maintenant plus que dépassé le stade de la constatation, donnant même vie à une forme tacite de gouvernance mondiale, il faut encore élever le niveau du débat. Lorsqu’un haut-fonctionnaire de la FAO vous confie que dans son organisation « la gouvernance mondiale de l’eau est un sujet tabou », il y a peut-être péril en la demeure dans notre maison la Terre... Pour relever le défi de nourrir et de donner adéquatement de l’eau à l’ensemble du vivant de manière pérenne, le statu quo n’est pas envisageable. Quand les humains doivent s’organiser pour vivre ensemble, la solution la plus durable passe par la construction de solutions ensemble. C’est là l’idéal de la démocratie et si l’eau c’est la vie, vivement aussi la démo-EAU-cratie! La bonne gouvernance de l’eau est ainsi ; sa bonne gouvernance mondiale aussi. Proposant cette voie - n’affirmant donc pas ses solutions d’emblée - l’auteur nous livre cependant son constat de 30 raisons qui imposent, dès aujourd’hui, à l’humanité le devoir d’agir pour mieux organiser une nécessaire gouvernance mondiale de l’eau. Ce livre vise à nourrir le débat. Urgent! En ayant une vision globale des enjeux. Parce qu’en face d’une évidente planète ASSOIFFÉE, il faudra le plus vite possible convenir de quelle gouvernance mondiale de l’eau l’humanité doit se doter. Parce que nous, les humains, ne devons pas faire l’économie de cette solution et, sans doute, ne pas laisser aux plus puissants d’entre nous en imposer.

This book was released on 2016-02-15 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La vision africaine 2025 de l'eau fait de cette ressource naturelle un outil contribuant à la réduction de la pauvreté, au développement socioéconomique, à la coopération régionale et à l'environnement. La CEDEAO lui dédie une politique exclusive et lui accorde une place prépondérante dans sa politique agricole, lui consacre une plateforme de dialogue sur les grandes infrastructures hydrauliques. L'UMOA en fait le cheval de bataille de sa politique agricole, une orientation stratégique pour la gestion des eaux partagées, la gestion de la transhumance transfrontalière et la gestion des ressources halieutiques. Voici une contribution à la connaissance des politiques internationales pour l'eau.
