With a wide range of prominent authors from the field, this two-volume series consists of reviews on a multitude of advanced topics in the area of relativistic celestial mechanics - starting from more classical topics such as the regime of asymptotically-flat spacetime, light propagation and celestial ephemerides, but also including its role in cosmology and alternative theories of gravity as well as modern experiments in this area. This second volume of a two-volume series covers applications of the theory as well as experimental verifications. From tools to determine light travel times in curved space-time to laser ranging between earth and moon and between satellites, and impacts on the definition of time scales and clock comparison techniques, a variety of effects is discussed. On the occasion of his 80-th birthday, these two volumes honor V. A. Brumberg - one of the pioneers in modern relativistic celestial mechanics. Contributions include: J. Simon, A.

Moreover, an overview of the SI is included. The papers selected for publication in the SI include review and research papers on water history, on water management issues under water scarcity regimes, on rainwater harvesting, on water quality and degradation, and on climatic variability impacts on water resources. Overall, the issue identify and highlight the main challenges in water sector, and particularly in management and protection of water resources and in use of alternative (non-conventional) water resources, especially in areas with demographic change and climate vulnerability in order to achieve sustainable and secure water supply. Furthermore, general guidelines and possible solutions for an improved and sophisticated water management system are proposed and discussed, such as the adoption of advanced technological solutions and practices that improve water-use efficiency and the use of alternative water resources, to address the growing environmental and health issues and to reduce the emerging conflicts among water users.Environmental economicsbicsscResearch & information: generalbicsscAculeo Lagoonalternative water sourcealternative water supplyarid and semi-arid areasAztecsbronze ageByzantine timesChileChinese dynastiescircular economyclimate changeclimate variabilityconservationconventional farmingdesalinationdissolved oxygendividing flow manifolddroughtearly warningecological water demandeconomic feasibilityEgyptiansend-usesexpendituresgeneral circulation modelGISHarappansHellenic civilizationshydraulicshydrologic modelingIncasintermittent water supplyinvestmentsirrigation practiceslong-termMayasmedieval timesMesopotamiaMIKE 11 modelMinoansmodelingmodern timesmulti-storey residential buildingn/anitrateorganic farmingOttoman timesPHABSIM modelpipe breakspressure monitoringprojectsrain harvestingrainwater harvestingrainwater harvesting systemRCPregional water supply planningremote sensingreservoir ecological operationresidual sodium carbonateRomansroutine monitoringsatisfaction surveyshowerheadssodium adsorption ratiosoil waterspraysstream flow changessustainabilitytotal dissolved solidsunreliable water supplywater budgetwater demandswater distribution systemwater managementwater qualitywater resources managementwater reusewater scarcitywater scarcity regimewater supplywater system operationwater use efficiencywatershed managementEnvironmental economicsResearch & information: generalTzanakakis Vasileiosedt1278700Paranychianakis NikosedtAngelakis AndreasedtTzanakakis VasileiosothParanychianakis NikosothAngelakis AndreasothBOOK9910557780403321Water Supply and Water Scarcity3013750UNINA
