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. 410 0$aCommunity, environment and disaster risk management ;$vv. 2. 606 $aEcology 606 $aRivers 606 $aEnvironmentalism 606 $aDrought management 606 $aWater and civilization 615 0$aEcology. 615 0$aRivers. 615 0$aEnvironmentalism. 615 0$aDrought management. 615 0$aWater and civilization. 676 $a553.7 701 $aShaw$b Rajib$01474599 701 $aThaitakoo$b Danai$01609694 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817886503321 996 $aWater communities$93937053 997 $aUNINA
