Water in the Mediterranean basin: Springer earth sciences book

The Mediterranean Region is distinguished for its special geographical, geoeconomical, geopolitical and environmental specialities. Being at the cross roads of three continents makes water a central issue for regional policies. The Regional Meeting on water in the Mediterranean Basin was expected to bring together the Mediterranean community of water to identify and analyze major regional perspective on global water issues, the outcomes of this meeting provided asignificant contribution incorporating the development of the thematic and political processes at the region. Among the main topics that is covered in thisbook are the effects of climate change on water resources, water and infrastructures , integrated water resource management and innovative solutions for the water problems in the Mediterranean region. Presents a reliable research on the water issue. The research study brings together the global community and policy decision-makers to state the importance of water. The research studies are one of the outcomes of the 5th World Water Forum held in Istanbul Turkey. INDICE: 1.
