Drought: Science and Policy
Iglesias Ana
Comprehensive coverage of understanding, prevention, and risk management of extreme drought events, with examples of approaches followed in water-stressed regions
This book describes the progress made in our understanding of severe drought and explains how we can deal with—and even avoid—complete devastation brought on by such punishing events. It brings forward advanced knowledge on drought hazard analysis and management, particularly from EU-funded research projects, to assist in the development of the corresponding drought management plans. In addition, this book addresses issues of social vulnerability to drought and science-policy interfaces, which are important elements of drought management.
Divided into three sections, ... Read more
- Addresses the growing issue of drought preparedness planning, monitoring, and mitigation
- Teaches methodologies and lessons focused on specific, drought-prone regions so the applications have more significance
- Provides examples of approaches followed in water-stressed regions (river basin and national scale) with drought analyses at the pan-European scale
Drought: Science and Policy will be an invaluable reference for researchers and practitioners in the field as well as Masters students taking relevant courses in drought management and natural disaster management.
