About the product

Fresh water is a critical resource for all aspects of human existence and development. Demand for fresh water is growing rapidly worldwide and since the beginning of this century its consumption has increased almost ten-fold. This publication focuses on the limited freshwater resources in arid lands. The issues covered include historical perspectives on how people in dry environments have developed ingenious survival strategies; and modern technologies and the impact of global warming on freshwater resources.
