Climate Change in Contrasting River Basins : Adaptation Strategies for Water, Food and Environment (CABI Publishing)

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Dealing with climate change is generally considered to be one of the greatest challenges for the coming decades. Changes in precipitation are likely to have a major impact on the hydrological cycle and susequently on the enivironment and food production. However, until now, clear guidance on
how to respond to this challenge, particularly at the river basin level, has been lacking.

This book has been developed from the ADAPT project, focusing on the development of fregional adaptation strategies for water, food, and the environment in river basins across the world. A generic methodology is presented and applied to seven case studies in contrasting geographical areas of the
world: Mekong (SE Asia), Rhine (Western Europe), Sacramento (USA), Syr Darya (Central Asia), Volta (Ghana), Walawe (Sri Lanka) and Zayandeh (Iran). The book provides a unique contribution and will interest researchers in climatology, geography, ecology, crop and soil science, environmental studies,
and related disciplines.
