The book is the first directory, which provides a comprehensive description and overview of the ecosystem services of Ethiopian wetlands as well as an analysis of the causes of wetlands degradation with feasible options for the protection, restoration and sustainable management of wetlands.

This book covers all key aspects of global warming with up-to-date and well-referenced information throughout. It provides a comprehensive analysis of debates around global warming and is likely to become a foundational text for student, scholars, policy makers, and citizens seeking clarity on this topic.

This book presents advances in dam engineering that have been achieved in recent years or are under way. At ­tention is given to practical aspects of design, construction, operation and rehabilitation. ­

This book links ecological theory and principles with applied land-use decision making through concrete case studies of actual land-use decision-making processes.

Volume I: Main report, Volume II: Appendix 1-Prices,2-Mechanization, Volume III: Appendix 3 Crop patterns, Volume IV: Appendix 4-Cost & Benefits stream.

Applied Climatology examines the characteristics and consequences of the changing global climate and considers the future for both natural and human environments.

This book links ecological theory and principles with applied land-use decision making through concrete case studies of actual land-use decision-making processes.

This book includes four parts: part one presents the latest information available on the status of the science of climate change. Part two explores the economics of energy alternatives in response to global warming. Part three focuses on climate change policy and decision making. Part four contains the results of panel discussions on the subjects of integrating climate change and energy policy.

A comprehensive and complete overview of all kinds of dams and appurtenant hydraulic structures throughout the world, in 35 chapters, subdivided in five themes: I. Dams and appurtenant hydraulic structures €“ General; II. Embankment dams; III. Concrete dams; IV. Hydromechanical equipment and appurtenant hydraulic structures; V. Hydraulic schemes.

The book's main message is that AWM will be integrated into a broader perspective, one which embraces the objectives of productivity growth, poverty reduction, natural resources management and environmental protection.

Two themes are carried through this book. The first is an introduction to the concept of materials and energy balance as a tool for understanding environmental processes and solving environmental engineering problems. The second theme of the book is the concept of sustainability, and deals with topics of water conservation, sludge minimization in water treatment, land treatment of waste water, protection of ozone layer.

This book covers all key aspects of global warming with up-to-date and well-referenced information throughout. It provides a comprehensive analysis of debates around global warming and is likely to become a foundational text for student, scholars, policy makers, and citizens seeking clarity on this topic.

This report addresses on of the greatest shortcoming of water resource development projects: the inadequate protection of environmental flow conditions in rivers, lakes, wetlands, estuaries, and groundwater systems.

This textbook is intended for students and professionals studying advanced topics in river and estuarine systems. This book contains the full range of subjects on open channel flows, including mixing and dispersion, Saint-Venant equations method of characteristics and interactions between flowing water and its surroundings (air entrainment, sediment transport).

The massage of this book center around the key challenges to agricultural water management, specially: building policy and incentives, designing institutional reforms, investing in irrigation systems improvement and modernization, investing in groundwater irrigation, investing in drainage and water quality management in multipurpose operations, coping with extreme climatic, and environmental impacts of agricultural water investments.

This book deals with principles for understanding our environment, people in the environment, understanding and managing living systems, physical resources and environmental systems, and issues and policy.

This studies conclude that the quality of irrigation system operations and maintenance is affected not only by the amount of resources made available to operate and maintain systems, but also by the institutional arrangements under which they are provided.

A comprehensive text on the geotechnical and geological aspects of the investigations for and the design and construction of new  dams and the review and assessment of existing dams. The main emphasis of this work is on embankment  dams.

This report presents the methodology and process for the selection, measurement instruments and techniques, installation, operation, maintenance, use, and evaluation of instrumentation and measurement systems for dams, appurtenant structures, their foundations, and environment.

This Issue aims to highlight importance of this "out of sight" sustainable resource, land-use control and legal regulation to protect it, and present new technologies and innovative solutions for groundwater management and policy.
