Water Scarcity, Contamination, and Management presents new and updated material, including case studies, step-by-step guidance on key procedures and protocols, and timely topics such as climate change and integrated water resource management. This book is divided into three key sections. Section 1-Water Resource Scarcity-focuses on sustainable development and management of water resources and techniques and methods for improving water use efficiency. Section 2-Contamination of Water Resources-focuses on understanding the quality of water resources, migration of pollutant sources, geochemical processes, groundwater depletion, and seasonal variations in contaminant concentration, water resources' quality status, and associated human health risks. Section 3-Water Resource Management-considers a consolidated and coordinated approach to find the solution to water resource issues.

Presenting a comprehensive overview of the water management field, the book serves as a valuable reference for students, professors, scholars, researchers, and consultants in the fields of water resources, civil engineering, environmental science and engineering, and hydrology.

Provides an overview of the current status of water resources utilization, the likely scenario of future demands, and the advantages and disadvantages of systems techniques Includes numerous examples and real-world case studies Presents the roles of remote sensing and GIS in solving the water resource crisis

Contaminants in Aquaculture: Safeguarding Blue Foods for a Sustainable Future addresses critical challenges posed by chemical, biological, and emerging pollutants in aquaculture systems. As aquaculture becomes the fastest-growing global food production sector, contamination risks threaten seafood safety, ecosystem health, and public trust. This reference consolidates fragmented knowledge to support sustainable blue food production and safeguard public health. The book covers heavy metals, pesticides, antibiotics, microplastics, petroleum hydrocarbons, biotoxins, nanomaterials, and emerging contaminants, exploring their environmental pathways, bioaccumulation, toxicodynamics, and regulatory challenges. It integrates advanced detection technologies, risk modeling, and mitigation strategies, supported by case studies and AI-enabled monitoring tools. The book also examines global policy frameworks and the integration of blue economy principles for contaminant control. Contaminants in Aquaculture: Safeguarding Blue Foods for a Sustainable Future benefits researchers, regulators, and industry professionals by providing a unified, evidence-based foundation to assess risks, design regulatory standards, and implement sustainable aquaculture practices. By bridging science, policy, and practice, this reference enhances seafood safety, ecosystem resilience, and global blue food sustainability for current and future generations.Integrates comprehensive contaminant science with risk assessment and regulatory insightsProvides evidence-based tools for detection, monitoring, and mitigation strategiesHighlights emerging contaminants and AI-driven monitoring technologiesBridges science, policy, and practice for sustainable aquaculture management
