註釋
This text presents a global study of river basin systems and management, assessing systems and management within both physical and social frameworks. Tracing the evolution of river basin management and the history of applied hydrology, this book provides a systematic review of policy and practice and argues for a sustainable approach to the changing environment of the world's rivers. In this fully revised and expanded second edition of the text, the author explores in greater depth the meaning of sustainability in river basin development, highlighting the rapid evolution of practical concepts in many countries since the Rio Earth Summit. Drawing on his most recent research, Newson adds new illustrations and case studies to include Australia, South Africa, Israel and Iran, makes the ecosystem model more explicit throughout, and strengthens coverage of the linkages between land and water management.
