Handbook of Catchment Management
Wiley-Blackwell (Verlag)
978-1-119-53122-7 (ISBN)
This revised and updated edition of the Handbook of Catchment Management features:
Thoroughly rewritten chapters which provide an up-to-date view of catchment management issues and contexts
New case study material highlighting multi-sectoral management in different globally significant basins and different geographical locations
Up-to-date topics selected for their resonance not only in natural sciences and engineering, but also in other fields, such as socio-economics, law and policy
The Handbook is designed for a broad audience, but will be particularly useful for advanced students, researchers, academics and water sector professionals such as planners, consultants and regulators.
About the Editors Robert C. Ferrier is Director of the Centre of Expertise for Waters (CREW) at the Hydro Nation International Centre, James Hutton Institute, Aberdeen, Scotland. Alan Jenkins is Deputy Director and Director of Science at the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, Wallingford, UK.
