Water resources in the Mediterranean region
Water resources in the Mediterranean region[electronic resource] /edited by Mehrez Zribi, Luca Brocca, Yves Tramblay, Francois Molle. - 1st ed. - Amsterdam, Netherland :Elsevier,2020. - 1 online resource.

Intro -- Water Resources in the Mediterranean Region -- Copyright -- Contents -- List of contributors -- Foreword -- Water resources in the Mediterranean region: The challenge of the 21st century -- Introduction -- Knowledge of fluxes -- Remote sensing for water resources -- Governing water resources -- Models for water resources management -- Climate scenarios -- Chapter 1: Hydrological cycle, Mediterranean basins hydrology -- 1.1. Introduction -- 1.2. Mediterranean catchments -- 1.2.1. Boundary of the Mediterranean region

Water Resources in the Mediterranean Region summarizes and collates scientific developments around water resources in the Mediterranean socio-economic environment through a multidisciplinary framework synthesizing hydrology, hydrogeology, climate, bioclimatology, economics, and geography. As such, it provides essential information for any reader looking to learn more about the Mediterranean which is experiencing the impact of climate change and concurrent complex issues of anthropogenic effects, especially in agriculture and other resource uses. Water Resources in the Mediterranean Region covers different challenges in the issue of the evolution of water resources in the Mediterranean. It is intended for PhD students, research scientists, and managers interested in new solutions and approaches for water management and in the forecast of future water dynamics.
