Springer International Publishing AG Design and Construction of Phosphorus Removal
Book SynopsisThe purpose of this book is to introduce the phosphorus (P) removal structure as a new BMP for reducing dissolved P loading to surface waters from non-point source pollution, provide guidance on designing site-specific P removal structures, and provide instruction on use of the design software, “Phrog” (Phosphorus Removal Online Guidance). The book initially provides a review of the nature and sources of non-point source P pollution, examines short and long term solutions to the problem, and provides detailed theory on design and operation of the P removal structure. As with many areas of study, one of the best methods of communicating concepts is through illustrations and examples. This book is no exception; several years of experience in studying P sorption and constructing P removal structures at multiple scales and settings is utilized for providing real examples and applications. With an understanding of the P removal structure established, the reader is instructed on how to obtain all of the necessary inputs for properly designing a site-specific P removal structure for meeting a desired lifetime and performance, or predict the performance and lifetime of a previously constructed P removal structure. For the readers who already possess the Phrog design software or are interested in obtaining it, one chapter is dedicated to detailed use of the software as demonstrated with various examples of structure design and also prediction.Table of Contents1.

Springer International Publishing AG Irrigated Agriculture in Egypt: Past, Present and
Book SynopsisThis book targets the issue of water scarcity in Egypt as a typical example of the world water crisis. Today, the available water resource is facing its limit because of rapid increase in water demand as a result of population growth and changes in peoples’ life-style. The basic idea to solve the problem of water scarcity is that the irrigation sector, the biggest user of water, should increase water use efficiency. However, the real problem is how this can be achieved in view of the crucial need for water in this sector. This book addresses this challenge through case studies from the Nile delta in Egypt. The water problem in the Nile delta, the major source for water in Egypt, is discussed in this book from all its various aspects. This book covers the situation before and after the advent of the Aswan High Dam, so that the reader understands the entire development. Another special feature are the extensive and scientific descriptions of contemporary topics in water and agriculture, especially from the viewpoint of water saving and sustainability. These descriptions are based on field experiments and surveys in a six-year international research project. Topics of this book are local, but their implications are global.Table of ContentsCountry Profile.- Hydrology of the Nile and Ancient Agriculture.- Control of the Nile’s Flow: The Introduction of Perennial Irrigation for Modern Agriculture.- Egyptian Irrigation after the Aswan High Dam.- Soil and Agriculture after the Aswan High Dam.- Irrigation Methods and Water Requirements in the Nile delta.- Water and salt movement in soils of the Nile Delta.- Water Management in the Nile Delta.- Agricultural Production –Cultivation Techniques and Farming.- Irrigation Water Management and Livelihood System of Farm Households: A Case Study of Improved and Unimproved Irrigation System Areas in the Northern Delta.- Challenges in Exploiting Resources-General Conclusion.

A A Balkema Publishers Shallow Flows: Research Presented at the
Book SynopsisThis text presents the key findings of the International Symposium held in Delft in 2003, which explored the process of shallow flows. Shallow flows are found in lowland rivers, lakes, estuaries, bays, coastal areas and in density-stratified atmospheres, and may be observed in puddles, as in oceans. They impact on the life and work of a wide variety of readers, who are here provided with a clear overview of the subject. Shallow flows are intrinsically turbulent. On one hand, there are strongly three-dimensional, small-scale turbulent motions and on the other hand, large-scale quasi-two-dimensional turbulence. This book explains and examines these differences and their effects with sections on transport processes in shallow flows; shallow jets, wakes and mixing layers; stratified and rotating flows in ocean and atmosphere; river and channel flows; and numerical modelling and turbulence closure techniques. The reader is provided with the pick of current studies and a fresh approach to the subject, with expert examination of a fascinating and crucial phenomenon of our world's water systems.

Springer Coral Reefs of the Gulf: Adaptation to Climatic
Book SynopsisCoral Reefs of the Gulf: Adaptation to Climatic Extremes is a complete review and reference for scientists, engineers and students concerned with the geology, biology or engineering aspects of coral reefs in the Middle East. It provides for the first time a complete review of both the geology and biology of all extant coral areas in the Gulf, the water body between Iran and the Arabian Peninsula. In summer, this area is the hottest sea with abundant coral growth on earth and already today exhibits a temperature that is predicted to occur across the topical ocean in 2100. Thus, by studying the Gulf today, much can be learned about tomorrow’s world and the capability of coral reefs to adapt to climatic extremes. This volume provides the most authoritative and up-to-date review of the coral reefs in the Gulf. It can be used as a volume of general reference or as a textbook treating recent coral reefs. Written by local and international experts, the text is richly illustrated and will remain a standard reference for the region for decades to come. Contributions stretch from climatology through geology, biology, ecological modelling and fisheries science to practical conservation aspects. The book is useful for the technical expert and casual reader alike.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews:“Coral Reefs of the Gulf provides an important baseline on reef geomorphology and ecosystems in an area under pressure from various developments (oil, gas and resorts). … this book is an excellent ambassador for monitoring and protecting these important natural ecosystems.” (M.

Springer Verlag, Singapore How Water Influences Our Lives
Book SynopsisThis beautifully illustrated book explains how water influences our culture; the many phases of water from ice to gas, its simple but still so unpredictable nature, and water resources on Earth; how water is distributed in ice, oceans, rivers, lakes and more; how it creates transport possibilities; how it produces and absorbs energy; how it is constantly changing the surface of the Earth; how there is enough water on Earth, yet sometimes there is too much or too little; the role of water in recreation; and how water supplies us with food in a myriad of ways. Few things are like water – a subtle and thought-provoking element, so simple and yet complicated, so conspicuous yet unpredictable, so soft and peaceful yet powerful, and so universal yet unique. Water is by far the world’s largest commodity. Though it belongs to all of us, it is still not shared by all. We very seldom take time to reflect on the many ways that water affects our lives. Though it would be too ambitious to believe that it claims all the meanings and roles of water, this book, by showcasing water’s versatility and by sharing the experiences and insights gained by the two authors during their many travels across the globe, contributes to a greater awareness of the most important substance in our society – water. The book offers an insightful and intriguing read for anyone interested in science and culture related to water, from laymen to students and decision-makers.Table of Contents Water.- Water in Culture and Social Development.- Snow and ice.- The Oceans.- Rivers and lakes.- The transport source.- The energy source.- Erosion.- Water consumption.- Recreation.- The food source.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Assessing Water Rights in China
Book SynopsisThis book presents a model for describing the hierarchical concept of China’s water rights structure, one which takes into account pioneering theories on natural resources and environmental institutional economics. It highlights the basic theory of water rights, with a view to helping Chinese policymakers acquire a deeper understanding of water rights and the need for a reform program in the long-term development of water-poor China. To do so, it draws on three main sources: Cheung SNS’s “Economic Explanation”, Douglas C. North’s “New Economic History” and Ray Huang’s “Macro History”.The book makes two essential contributions: it elaborates the hierarchical water governance structure in China, which originated in the Qin Dynasty that unified the country 2000 years ago and has been employed without interruption ever since; further, it constructs a choice model for water governance structures and advances the logic of making structural choices with minimum transaction costs under constraint conditions, while also explaining the inherent nature of China’s choice for the hierarchical structure from the perspectives of management cost and cooperation cost. As such, the book enriches and builds on the theories of the “water governance” school represented by Karl Marx, Karl Wittfogel and Ray Huang, laying the foundation for the further study of water rights theory in contemporary China.Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Hierarchical Structure of Water Governance.- Hierarchical Structure of Water Rights.- Economics Theory of Water Rights Structure.- Water Rights Structure in Ancient China and its Economic Explanation: Empirical Study of the Yellow River Basin.- Water Rights Structure of the Yellow River Basin and Its Economic Explanation: Since the Founding of New China.- Water Rights and Water Market of Contemporary China: Case Study.- Conclusions and Prospects.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Bridges Over Water: Understanding Transboundary
Book Synopsis"Bridges over Water" places the study of transboundary water conflicts, negotiation, and cooperation in the context of various disciplines (such as international relations, international law, international negotiations, and economics), analyzing them using various quantitative approaches, such as river basin modeling and game theory. Case studies of particular transboundary river basins, lakes and aquifers are also considered. This is the first textbook for a relatively recent yet rapidly expanding field of study.Trade Review"Is it true that water scarcity must lead to conflict? Might it not lead to cooperation instead? How can conflict be avoided? How can cooperation be promoted? This new book provides the answers to these questions -- or, if not the answers, the means for finding the answers. It fills a large gap in the literature and will, I predict, become the standard text in this important field." Scott Barrett Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies "No other book known heretofore presents such a wide and deep coverage of water issues as this book has done. No other book has gone through such a comprehensive analysis of the professional, technical, political and legal aspects of water and international water as the authors of this book have collectively done. The combination of their talents and impressive track records and backgrounds has produced a book that is unique in the literature on water. McCaffrey has outdone his excellent previous works and so have the Dinars and McKinney. I congratulate each one of them, and thank them for this precious contribution.

Book SynopsisThis book comprehensively accounts the advances in data-based approaches for hydrologic modeling and forecasting. Eight major and most popular approaches are selected, with a chapter for each — stochastic methods, parameter estimation techniques, scaling and fractal methods, remote sensing, artificial neural networks, evolutionary computing, wavelets, and nonlinear dynamics and chaos methods. These approaches are chosen to address a wide range of hydrologic system characteristics, processes, and the associated problems. Each of these eight approaches includes a comprehensive review of the fundamental concepts, their applications in hydrology, and a discussion on potential future directions.Table of ContentsSetting the Stage (B Sivakumar); Stochastic Methods (B Rajagopalan et al.); Parameter Estimation (J A Vrugt et al.); Scaling and Fractals (D Veneziano et al.); Remote Sensing (E Nikolopoulos et al.); Artificial Neural Networks (R J Abrahart et al.); Genetic Algorithms (M Franchini & S Alvisi); Wavelets (D Labat); Fuzzy Logic (A Bardossy); Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos (B Sivakumar & R Berndtsson); Summary and Future (B Sivakumar & R Berndtsson).
