商品描述
Understand How to Manage Water Resources to Equitably Meet Both Human and Ecological Needs
Burgeoning populations and the ever-higher standards of living for those in emerging countries increase the demand on our water resources. What is not increasing, however, is the supply of water and the total amount of water in earth's biosphere--water that is integral to all standards of living. Fundamentals of Water Security provides a foundation for understanding and managing the quantity-quality-equity nexus of water security in a changing climate.
In a broad sense, this volume explores solutions to water security challenges around the world. It is richly illustrated and pedagogically packed with up-to-date information. The text contains chapter learning objectives, foundation sections reviewing quantitative skills, case studies, and vignettes of people who have made important contributions to water security. To further aid comprehension, end-of-chapter problems are included--both qualitative and quantitative, with solutions available to instructors. Finally, extensive references feature books, journal articles, and government and NGO reports. Sample topics discussed include:
- How the study of water resources has evolved from a focus on physical availability to include social factors and governance
- How water security affects multiple disciplines across environmental science and engineering, hydrology, geography, water resources, atmospheric science, chemistry, biology, health science, and social and political science fields
- How to achieve a sufficient quantity and quality of water to equitably meet both immediate and long-term human and ecological needs
- Analysis of water security in an integrated manner by underscoring the complex interactions between water quantity, water quality, and society
Students taking courses on hydrology, water security, and/or water resource management, along with scientists working in fields where water security is a factor will be able to use Fundamentals of Water Security as a comprehensive textbook to understand and achieve water security.

水資源安全的基本原則
了解如何管理水資源，以公平滿足人類和生態的需求
不斷增長的人口以及新興國家日益提高的生活標準，增加了對我們水資源的需求。然而，水的供應以及地球生物圈中的水總量並未隨之增加——這些水對所有生活標準都是不可或缺的。《水資源安全的基本原則》提供了在變化的氣候中理解和管理水資源安全的數量、質量和公平性之間關係的基礎。
從廣義上講，本書探討了全球水資源安全挑戰的解決方案。書中插圖豐富，並且包含了最新的信息。文本包含章節學習目標、回顧定量技能的基礎部分、案例研究以及對於在水資源安全方面做出重要貢獻的人的小故事。為了進一步幫助理解，書末還包含了章末問題——包括定性和定量問題，並提供解答給教師。最後，廣泛的參考文獻包括書籍、期刊文章以及政府和非政府組織的報告。討論的示例主題包括：
- 水資源研究如何從專注於物理可用性演變為包括社會因素和治理
- 水資源安全如何影響環境科學與工程、水文學、地理學、水資源、氣象科學、化學、生物學、健康科學以及社會和政治科學等多個學科
- 如何實現足夠的水量和水質，以公平滿足人類和生態的即時及長期需求
- 通過強調水量、水質和社會之間的複雜互動，以綜合的方式分析水資源安全
修習水文學、水資源安全和/或水資源管理課程的學生，以及在水資源安全相關領域工作的科學家，都能夠將《水資源安全的基本原則》作為全面的教科書，以理解和實現水資源安全。
