Water supply & treatment

Handbook of Nature-Based Drought Solutions covers the latest research on successful, sustainable solutions for the efficient water resources management to overcome the drought and water scarcity problems. The book centers around the realms of drought modeling green infrastructure planning, and the utilization of remote sensing to evaluate, dissect, and oversee drought occurrences. It delves into subjects such as risk mitigation, strategic planning, policy considerations, and the ecological restoration of degraded lands after drought. The use of case studies and novel methodologies including soft computing technique application will help the reader gain a deeper knowledge in understanding, predicting, and mitigating hydrometeorological hazards.
