Preface
This book, entitled Sustainable Water Resources Planning and Management Under Climate Change, deals with a fundamental component of engineering design and practice under changing climate. Due to climate change and other sources of nonstationarity, the traditional approaches that are currently available for understanding, modeling and evaluating hydrological processes are not adequate. Complexity creates non-linear behavior in the entire system, which needs new knowledge to be addressed. Mitigation and adaptation policies are important to tackle climate change, extreme events, and water scarcity. This book contains chapters by distinguished scientists from different regions of the world covering topics that range from hydrologic modeling to management and policy responses to climate variability and change with primary emphasis on water resources management. The authors also provide insight into regional problem
