Ecosystem-based Adaptation: Approaches to Sustainable Management of Aquatic Resources

Ecosystem-Based Adaptation: Approaches for Sustainable Management of Aquatic Resources presents a close examination of the role of ecosystem-based adaptation in managing river basins, aquifers, flood plains and their vegetation to provide water storage and flood regulation. Furthermore, the book explores improved ecosystem-based services for managing floods, conservation of water and its resources (including watersheds), avoiding water scarcity, and ensuring long-term water security planning, all in the context of sustainable development goals. This book will help scientists pave the way for easy implementation of sustainable development goals, ensuring a secure and sustainable future. Presents information in an easy-to-follow manner using tables, figures and graphs where applicable, along with case studies from all continentsProvides a reference for experts to use as an authoritative source to support environmental action and regulationDelineates the role of ecosystem-based adaptation in sustainable management and in the restoration of watershed forests and wetlands INDICE: 1.
