About the book:

Water is a key factor on the: earth for all living and non-living components. Presently, changing climate is an alarming issue to manage and sustain life on the earth. In view of climate change the water resources all over the world have drastically come under stressed conditions, which is evident from the uneven weather patterns, droughts, floods, cloud bursts, etc. The various researchers all over the world are deeply concerned about this sudden transition, who are working tirelessly to ascertain the possible causes of this behavior and what are the various mitigation measures which should be undertaken, to mitigate this problem. Through this book, we will try to cover the major concerns, impacting our water resources, due to climate change and also will suggest the best mitigation measures

The broader themes of the chapters

1. Water management strategies and tools in the arena of climate change
It should include any new infrastructure, droughts, seawater intrusion, sea level rise, general utility preparedness, algal blooms, erosion and sedimentation, modifying land use and water demand, plan for climate change, repair, and retrofit facilities

2. Integrated modeling and climate change impact on water resources
Understanding and modeling climate change, climate extremes and its impact on water resources, water supply impacted by climate change, climate change mitigation measures, the impact of climate change on watershed hydrology, mountain lakes: eyes on global climate change, water management models

3. Disaster risk reduction and climate change
Identify, assess, and monitor disaster risk and enhance early warning, using knowledge, innovation, and education to build a culture of safety, reducing the risk factors on account of climate change, strengthening disaster preparedness, agriculture, and food security, early warning systems.

4. Climate-smart agriculture and water management
Remote sensing techniques of water management, rainwater harvesting, rainwater catchment system reliability, artificial recharge techniques of groundwater, drought severity, and frequency analysis by various spatiotemporal techniques, groundwater quality evaluation and suitability for irrigation, water moisture sensors and water control measures for better water use efficiencies in precision agriculture.

5. Artificial intelligence and machine learning in water resources management
Deep and machine learning methods for water quality assessment, streamflow prediction, and precipitation analysis using machine learning, hydro climatological parameters on reservoir seepage using Shapley addictive explanation technique, standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index using data-driven approaches, application of machine learning in water resource management in general.

6. Water quality and climate change
Harmful algal blooms, wastewater management, new models, methods to improve water quality, wildland fires impacting water quality, stormwater management, erosion, and sedimentation, rising temperature and precipitation impacting water quality

7. Issues and challenges in water management
Globalization, freshwater stress, mismatch in supply and demand, towards a water-secure planet, technology, research funding in the water sector, monitoring of progress in water conservation and restoration, the water food energy nexus, urban and industrial water demands, addressing water management constraints to achieve prosperity, governance, sustainable development goals in the direction of water management.

8. Remote sensing and GIS-based water management
Water resource mapping and management, rainfall measurement and drought assessment, rainfall-runoff prediction and flood forecasting, and water body and flood mapping.

9. Role of green infrastructures for sustainable water management
Bioswales and rain gardens, stormwater runoff control, planting vegetation, promoting stormwater infiltration, underground storage systems to detain runoff, retention ponds to manage stormwater, bioretention cells, rain barrels, porous pavements for stormwater infiltration, green roofs for improving water quality, etc, economics of green infrastructure.

10. Waternomics to develop and avoid systemic shocks to the economy
Balancing tradeoffs between limited water resources and economic development, water resources availability and quality, policy decisions and economic planning related to water resources, water pollution management, economic risk exposure for vulnerable regions like major river basins and coastal economic hubs, Waternomics roadmap and potential for various countries worldwide.

11. Reservoir, greenhouse gas emissions, and climate change
Methane emissions from reservoirs, methane oxidation in reservoirs, hydropower and greenhouse gas emissions, the effect of reservoir emissions on local and global climate, reservoir management strategies, role of vegetation in reservoir emissions, carbon sequestration in reservoirs, policy and regulation

12. Climate change and its implications for irrigation, drainage, and flood management
Sea level rise and coastal irrigation, water scarcity and irrigation, changing precipitation patterns, temperature extremes and productivity, climate resilient irrigation techniques, flooding and urbanization, hydrological models for climate change impact assessment, integrated water resources management, socioeconomic impacts, climate-resilient infrastructure design, capacity building, and knowledge transfer

13. Land use and climate change impacts on soil erosion and water management
Land use change and soil erosion, soil erosion modeling under climate change, erosion control practices and adaptation, erosion risk assessment and mapping, soil health, and climate resilience, water management in erosion-prone areas, erosion and carbon sequestration, sedimentation and water quality
