The Evolution of Water Resource Planning and Decision Making
Author: Clifford S. RussellPublisher: Edward Elgar Publishing
ISBN: 1848449364
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
This broad review of the development of US water resource policy analysis and practice offers perspectives from several disciplines: law, economics, engineering, ecology and political science. While the historical context provided goes back to the early 19th century, the book concentrates on the past 60 years and features a discussion of the difficulty that has generally been encountered in bringing the disciplines of economics and ecology into collaboration in the water resource context. The book explores the evolution of water related analytical capabilities and institutions and provides illustrations from case studies, concluding with recommendations for research, institutional change and action. Though designed to be a background textbook for interdisciplinary graduate seminars in water resources planning and management, it is accessible to interested lay readers and those who have policymaking or implementation responsibility but lack a technical background. The book will appeal to students and faculty in water policy, economics, and engineering, and in interdisciplinary programs organized around water resource problems and questions. Policy makers and general readers will also appreciate this non-technical introduction.

Water Availability and Use Science Program: Estimated Use of Water in the United States In 2015
Author: Cheryl A. DieterPublisher: Geological Survey
ISBN: 9781411342330
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 76
Book Description
Estimates of water withdrawals enable the depiction of trends in total water use for the Nation among different geographic areas, categories of use, and sources over time. Water-use information is a critical component of water budgets, which are essential to surface- water and groundwater availability studies. This information is also essential to accurately understand how future water demands will be met while maintaining adequate water quality and quantities for human and ecosystem needs across the United States of America. Data is represented in text abstracts and analysis, tables, chart graphics, and photos presented throughout. The estimates contained within this volume focus on water use for eight (8) categories: Public Supply * Irrigation Self-supplied Domestic * Livestock Aquaculture * Industrial Mining * Thermoelectric Power Related products: Other products produced by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) are available here: https://bookstore.gpo.gov/agency/us-geological-survey-usgs Check out our Water Management resources collection here: https://bookstore.gpo.gov/catalog/water-management
Contaminated Water Supplies at Camp Lejeune
Author: National Research CouncilPublisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309136997
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
In the early 1980s, two water-supply systems on the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in North Carolina were found to be contaminated with the industrial solvents trichloroethylene (TCE) and perchloroethylene (PCE). The water systems were supplied by the Tarawa Terrace and Hadnot Point watertreatment plants, which served enlisted-family housing, barracks for unmarried service personnel, base administrative offices, schools, and recreational areas. The Hadnot Point water system also served the base hospital and an industrial area and supplied water to housing on the Holcomb Boulevard water system (full-time until 1972 and periodically thereafter). This book examines what is known about the contamination of the water supplies at Camp Lejeune and whether the contamination can be linked to any adverse health outcomes in former residents and workers at the base.
New Perspectives in Water Supply
Author: William Whipple, Jr.Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 9781566700320
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 238
Book Description
This book explains how needs for increasing regional water supply are reconciled with other water needs and how water conservation and other demand management practices are used in time of drought. The book covers a number of new and unconventional types of methods that are beginning to be utilized, including the conjunctive use of ground and surface waters, better multiple use of storage, operational coordination between adjacent water systems, ozonation, desalination, water re-use methods of watershed protection, and septic system management. This timely volume also discusses complex arrangements for coordination between federal, state, and muncipal agencies, as well as investor-owned companies.
