This volume presents
nine chapters prepared by international authors and highlighting various
aspects of climate change and water resources. Climate change models and
scenarios, particularly those related to precipitation projection, are
discussed and uncertainties and data deficiencies that affect the reliability
of predictions are identified. The potential impacts of climate change on
water resources (including quality) and on crop production are analyzed and
adaptation strategies for crop production are offered. Furthermore, case
studies of climate change mitigation strategies, such as the reduction of
water use and conservation measures in urban environments, are included.
This
book will serve as a valuable reference work for researchers and students in
water and environmental sciences, as well as for governmental agencies and
policy makers.
