Descrizione del libro

This book examines the implications of possible climate changes and variability on both global and regional water resources. It initially follows the perspective of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and then examines the possible effects on each of the continents. A valuable guide for environmental planners and policy-makers, it will also be of use to researchers of climate change.
