However, water availability varies enormously in space, as less than 1,000 m3/person are available for more than 50% of the population. The temporal and spatial distribution of water resources is driven by processes highly variables across a country with different climates explained not only by a large range of latitudes (from 17 to 56 south), but also the presence of the Pacific Ocean and the Andes with peaks up to 7000 m. This geography makes of Chile a true natural laboratory in which water is essential for the society and the economy of the country. The relevance of water resources for the country has become even more significant in the context of a mega-drought that has affected practically the entire territory in recent years, although large floods such as those in Atacama 2015 and 2017 also take place periodically. This unique book brings together the state-of-art knowledge about the hydrology of Chile and its water resources, with a particular focus on quantitative aspects. The chapters are prepared by many of the most relevant researchers and practitioners working in water resources in the country. High-quality research contributions on climate and meteorology, surface and subsurface hydrology, water quality, water monitoring, water resource and global change, among other issues, are presented in this unique book, which offers a useful guide for academicians, researchers, practitioners and managers dealing with diverse water-related issues in Chile and other regions with similar characteristics. 410 0$aWorld Water Resources,$x2509-7385 ;$v8 606 $aWater resources development$zChile 606 $aWater resources development 607 $aChile 615 0$aWater resources development 615 0$aWater resources development. 676 $a333.9100983 702 $aFernández García$b Bonifacio 702 $aGironás$b Jorge 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484902303321 996 $aWater Resources of Chile$92595520 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02463nam 22004453 450 001 9910136845403321 005 20230808200043.0 010 $a1-60774-861-4 035 $a(CKB)3710000000907541 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6040720 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL6040720 035 $a(OCoLC)956502092 035 $a(BIP)54558875 035 $a(BIP)54527207 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000907541 100 $a20210901d2016 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aForaged Flora $eA Year of Gathering and Arranging Wild Plants and Flowers 210 1$a :$cPotter/Ten Speed/Harmony/Rodale,$d2016. 210 4$d2016. 215 $a1 online resource (127 pages) 311 08$a1-60774-860-6 330 $aA gorgeously photographed new take on flower arranging using local and foraged plants and flowers to create beautiful arrangements, with ideas and inspiration for the whole year. Roadside fennel, flowering fruit trees, garden roses, tiny violets; ingredients both common and unusual, humble and showy, Foraged Flora is a new vision for flowers and arranging. It encourages you to train your eye to the beauty that surrounds you, attune your senses to the seasonality and locality of flowers and plants, and to embrace the beauty in each stage of life, from first bud to withering seedpod. Organized by month, each chapter in this visually arresting and inspiring book focuses on large and small arrangements created from the flowers and plants available during that time period and in that place, all foraged or gleaned nearby. The authors reflect on surprising and beautiful pairings, the importance of scale, the scarcity or abundance of raw materials, and the environmental factors that contribute to that availability. Whether picking a small tendril of fragrant jasmine, collecting oversized branches of flowering quince, or making a garland of bay laurel, Foraged Flora is an invitation to seek out the beauty of the natural world. 606 $aFlower arrangement 615 0$aFlower arrangement. 676 $a745.92 700 $aRoebuck$b Louesa$01247429 701 $aLonsdale$b Sarah$01247430 701 $aFrankel$b Laurie$01247431 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910136845403321 996 $aForaged Flora$92891822 997 $aUNINA
