Outlines the concept and
principles of water harvesting for groundwater management for an
international audience, and looks at the positives and negatives
surrounding water harvesting technologies
This book is the
first to fully outline the concept and principles of water harvesting
for groundwater management for a global audience. It offers guidance to
academics, students and researchers on effective water harvesting
approaches for groundwater recharge, and educates them on the risks
associated with managed aquifer recharge, as well as the causes of
success or failure of particular management strategies, and demand
management strategies and tools. The book is helpful to water managers,
administrators, and professionals, to make decisions to allocate
resources; developing innovative cost-effective measures and approaches
to achieve demand-supply balance. The book provides readers with an
overview of the historical evolution of water harvesting for groundwater
recharge. It looks at the benefits and gaps in knowledge, their
implementation and funding strategies, and public participation. It also
assesses the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT)
of water harvesting technologies.
Water Harvesting for Groundwater Management: Issues, Perspectives, Scope and Challenges
offers chapters covering: issues on water harvesting and water
security; mega-trends that impact water security; groundwater
occurrence, availability, and recharge-ability; phases of water
harvesting systems; SWOT analysis of water harvesting systems; case
studies and short examples of implementing water harvesting; scope of
water harvesting for GWM strategies; guidelines to make water harvesting
helpful and meaningful for GWM; and more.
