Essentials of water communities and its future perspective / Danai Thaitakoo, Rajib Shaw.Water is the key to human civilization. Most of the ancient civilization had its roots to river basins, where people-water interaction was the key aspect. Due to innovations of knowledge and technology and modernization of lifestyles, the human-water direct contact has become less significant. People have become more dependent to the system, and consequently, the closeness to water is gradually diminishing. It is however, a challenge on how to learn from the basic principles of water human interaction and apply those lessons to the current context of urban and rural settings. This book will provide a few analytical case studies on different aspects of water communities, which is defined as the human-water interaction process.Community, environment and disaster risk management ;2.Water and civilizationCase studiesWaterSocial aspectsCase studiesCase studies.fastWater and civilizationWaterSocial aspects553.7Shaw Rajib1474599Thaitakoo Danai1478555UtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9910785065703321Water communities3694246UNINA
