Natural resources management has two principal dimensions : Science-illuminated (earth, space, hydrological, pedological, information, etc.

Environmental Fluid Mechanics (EFM) studies the motion of air and water at several different scales, the fate and transport of species carried along by these fluids, and the interactions among those flows and geological, biological, and engineered systems.

Dry areas suffer not only from limited rainfall but alsonatural leakage'-90% of rainwater is lost directly or indirectly, and is unavailable for agriculture or domestic use.

Containing the state-of-the-art in hydrodynamic cavitation, the book consists of two parts.

"e;The world water problems are a due to bad governance, not to physical water scarcity.

The challenge of water scarcity as a result of insufficient seasonal rainfall and dry spell occurrences during cropping seasons is compounded by inefficient agricultural practices by smallholder farmers where insignificant soil and water conservation efforts are applied.

Pollution of water sources with emerging contaminants (micropollutants) is a fact known worldwide.

The main objective of this research is to investigate the governing processes and characteristics that drive morphodynamic evolution in alluvial estuaries by application of a process-based numerical model (Delft3D).

The growing demands of growing populations are causing increased water scarcity all over the world.

This study presents an systematic approach to water quality assessment, hybrid modelling and decision support for eutrophication management in deep reservoirs.

Seawater desalination is a coastal-based industry.

The discussion on arsenic in the environment is complex and must grasp the importance of very many, mostly unrelated works on individual aspects.

The congress "e;Arsenic in the Environment"e; offers an international, multi- and interdisciplinary discussion platform for arsenic research aimed at practical solutions of problems with considerable social impact, as well as focusing on cutting edge and breakthrough research in physical, chemical, toxicological, medical and other specific issues on ar

Without a doubt, the topic of energy--from coal, oil, and nuclear to geothermal, solar and wind--is one of the most pressing across the globe.

The first biography of Jackson Barnett, who gained unexpected wealth from oil found on his property.

In the wake of the devastating 1906 earthquake and fire, the city of San Francisco desperately needed reliable supplies of water and electricity.

The wind power development policy community faces a conundrum.

In recent decades the global wind energy industry has undergone explosive growth, and there is still vast potential for wind to supply more of the world's energy.

Without a doubt, the topic of energy--from coal, oil, and nuclear to geothermal, solar and wind--is one of the most pressing across the globe.

Originally perceived as a cheap and plentiful source of power, the commercial use of nuclear energy has been controversial for decades.

Today there are over a billion vehicles in the world, and within twenty years, the number will double, largely a consequence of China's and India's explosive growth.

Prior to 1979, China had a bifurcated and geographically-dispersed industrial structure made up of a relatively small number of large-scale, state-owned enterprises in various industries alongside numerous small-scale, energy-intensive and polluting enterprises.

The world is at a pivotal crossroad in energy choices.
