Managing Water In River Basins - Hydrology, Economics, And Institutions

This book provides an in-depth analysis of existing methods of water management and highlights the gaps in the use of water in various river basins. Underlying the futility of 'quick fix' solutions, it puts forward various alternative strategies for water management. Using illustrative case studies, the author lists major challenges in water management-productivity improvement in key-use sectors, inter-sectoral allocation, trans-boundary resource management, and availability in deficient regions.
