The environment
Climate Change in Contrasting River Basins
Adaptation Strategies for Water, Food and Environment
Edited by Jeroen Aerts, Peter Droogers
Description
Dealing with climate change is generally considered to be one of the greatest challenges for the coming decades. Changes in precipitation are likely to have a major impact on the hydrological cycle and subsequently on the environment and food production. However, until now clear guidance on how to respond to this challenge, particularly at the river basin level, has been lacking.This book has been developed from the ADAPT project, focusing on the development of regional adaptation strategies for water, food and the environment in river basins across the world. A generic methodology is presented and applied to seven case studies in contrasting geographical areas of the world: Mekong (SE Asia), Rhine (Western Europe), Sacramento (USA), Syr Darya (Central Asia), Volta (Ghana), Walawe (Sri Lanka) and Zayandeh (Iran).

Endorsements
"I would recommend this book to any water catchment policy analyst and adviser - whether working in developing world of first world countries - considering future issues..... It is not a dry theoretical book. It raises questions and issues well and is a constructive contribution to the significant but cloudy issue of climate change and land use." Joel Cayford, www.watermagazine.com "This book provides interesting material on likely future climate changes and their effects on water supplies and agriculture in a diverse range of settings." J Renwick, New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, 39, 2005 "This is a well written book...a very useful addition to the literature on the possible impacts of climatic change, suitable for the library of any environmental science faculty." Mike Town, Weather, 60(7), 2005
