Effects, Assessments, and Optimizations of Water Resources under Climate Change: Approaches and Applications presents a systematic exploration on how climate change is reshaping global water resources. From assessing the impacts of temperature and precipitation extremes to addressing the spatial variability in water stress, the book offers innovative methods and solutions for sustainable water management. Chapters focus on the use of advanced hydrological models, ecological footprint methods, and optimization approaches to efficiently manage water resources under climate change scenarios. Additionally, the book includes comprehensive case studies that demonstrate the practical application of these methods in real-world water management.This is a necessary guide for students and researchers, as well as for policymakers and water resource managers seeking practical and scientific strategies for securing water resources in the face of climate uncertainty.Includes ecological footprint analysis, water footprint accounting, and hydrological modeling to help the reader evaluate water resources from multiple perspectives and scalesProvides insights on optimization methods such as chance-constrained programming and system dynamicsContains comprehensive case studies and applications, including examples from the Yellow River Basin and other cities

This textbook systematically addresses why and how Circular Economy should be developed and practiced by employing a Discussion and Research (D&R) teaching method.

Based on the water footprint (WF) concept, this book reviews WF-based water stress evaluation methods at the city, provincial and river basin levels respectively. In addition, it explores the factors that influence regional water footprint in the spatial sequence via the extended STIRPAT model. Highlighting the utilization of WF accounting in sustainable water management, one of the book’s goals is to establish the optimization model of water allocation in various industrial sectors. Based on WF accounting, which thoroughly considers the water input for production, the relevant intermediate water inputs, and the water amount for wastewater discharge dilutions, the book provides a wealth of insights for scholars and practitioners with an interest in water resources and environmental management. In addition, it exhibits a scientific plan for regional water resource utilization and allocation, helping relieve regional water shortages.
