Climate change models and scenarios, particularly those related to precipitation projection, are discussed and uncertainties and data deficiencies that affect the reliability of predictions are identified. The potential impacts of climate change on water resources (including quality) and on crop production are analyzed and adaptation strategies for crop production are offered. Furthermore, case studies of climate change mitigation strategies, such as the reduction of water use and conservation measures in urban environments, are included. This book will serve as a valuable reference work for researchers and students in water and environmental sciences, as well as for governmental agencies and policy makers.The Handbook of Environmental Chemistry,1867-979X ;25Environmental chemistryClimate changeHydrologyGeochemistryAnalytical chemistryEnvironmental Chemistryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U15000Climate Change/Climate Change Impactshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/313000Hydrology/Water Resourceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/211000Climate Changehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U12007Geochemistryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G14003Analytical Chemistryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C11006Environmental chemistry.Climate change.Hydrology.Geochemistry.Analytical chemistry.Environmental Chemistry.Climate Change/Climate Change Impacts.Hydrology/Water Resources.Climate Change.Geochemistry.Analytical Chemistry.628.1Younos Tamimedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtGrady Caitlin Aedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910437934303321Climate Change and Water Resources2514791UNINA
