• Sommario/riassunto: "Water harvesting is gaining more and more recognition as a sustainable and resilient water supply options. It is economically viable,socially compatible and environmentally friendly. Water harvesting has proven to be a robust solution to overcome or reduce watershortages all over the world. It is important to understand how to apply this practice in a sustainable and effective way to make full useof its potential in a world increasingly threatened by water scarcity.The Handbook of Water Harvesting and Conservation: Basic Concepts and Fundamentals is the most comprehensive, up-to-dateand applied handbook on water harvesting and conservation yet published. The book's 30 chapters -- written by 84 outstandinginternational experts from approximately 20 selected countries faced by drought -- explore, critique and develop concepts and systemsfor water harvesting. The editors bring together many perspectives into a synthesis that is both academically based and practical in itspotential applications.The Handbook of Water Harvesting and Conservation: Basic Concepts and Fundamentals is an important tool for education, researchand technical works in the areas of soil, water and watershed management and is highly useful for drought strategy planning, floodmanagement and developing techniques to adapt to climate change in urban, agricultural, forest and rangeland areas." --Publisher's description.
