Water Management

Prioritizing Justice and Sustainability

Island Press

Water Management fills a critical gap: providing a base of knowledge to understand and manage complex water problems. It is geared primarily towards students at the undergraduate and graduate levels, but will also be a helpful resource for practicing water professionals who are looking for new ideas or a broader view of the subject.

This text explores the entire gamut of water issues, from dams to desalination, from prior appropriation to pumped storage, from sanitation to stormwater. Rather than teaching from one disciplinary perspective, it examines water through a variety of lenses: hydrology, climate science, ecology, and engineering, but also law, economics, history, and environmental justice. The result is a comprehensive introduction to one of the most demanding challenges of our time: developing just and sustainable solutions to water management.
