Water ? Technology" of the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities. It describes interdisciplinary evaluation criteria for major water engineering projects (MWEPs) and portrays an application to the Lower Jordan Valley (Middle East) and the Fergana Valley (Central Asia). Both areas are characterised by transboundary conflicts, by challenges due to demographic and climate change, and by political and societal pressures. Based on the findings, the book provides recommendations for science and political decisions makers as well as for international financing institutions. In addition, it outlines research gaps from an interdisciplinary perspective. In the past, MWEPs have been used as an instrument to cope with the demands of growing populations and to enhance development progress. Experiences with MWEPs have shown that a purely technical approach has not always brought about the desired results. In many cases, MWEPs have even resulted in negative implications for society and environment. Therefore, improved management strategies and enhanced technologies for a sustainable water resource management system are a prerequisite to meet present and future challenges. And, moreover, the continuous evaluation and optimisation of these measures is, likewise, a must. 410 0$aWater Resources Development and Management,$x1614-810X 606 $aWater pollution 606 $aWater-supply 606 $aEnvironmental economics 606 $aInternational environmental law 606 $aWaste Water Technology / Water Pollution Control / Water Management / Aquatic Pollution$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U35040 606 $aWater Industry/Water Technologies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/214000 606 $aEnvironmental Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W48000 606 $aInternational Environmental Law$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R19070 610 $aWaste Water Technology / Water Pollution Control / Water Management / Aquatic Pollution 610 $aWater Industry/Water Technologies 610 $aEnvironmental Economics 610 $aInternational Environmental Law 615 0$aWater pollution. 615 0$aWater-supply. 615 0$aEnvironmental economics. 615 0$aInternational environmental law. 615 14$aWaste Water Technology / Water Pollution Control / Water Management / Aquatic Pollution. 615 24$aWater Industry/Water Technologies. 615 24$aEnvironmental Economics. 615 24$aInternational Environmental Law. 676 $a363.7394 676 $a363.73946 700 $aHüttl$b Reinhard F$4edt$0434784 702 $aHüttl$b Reinhard F$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aBens$b Oliver$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aBismuth$b Christine$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aHoechstetter$b Sebastian$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910137194703321 996 $aSociety - Water - Technology$93359782 997 $aUNINA
