Written by a renowned team of water resource managers, early chapters in this book define ecological footprints and explore the global policies, industries, and climate forces driving water insecurity. Central chapters explore novel and innovative water conservation techniques, advances in water resource management, and emerging technologies for sustainable water use. Final chapters explore global water policies and the role of international cooperation and propose a roadmap for minimizing aquatic ecological footprints.
- Supports UN SDGs through policy integration, including the UNFCCC Paris Agreement to strengthen water security and minimize ecological footprints
- Defines water security concepts and provides indicators for sustainable water resource extraction and use
- Evaluates water surface sustainability with a new approach based on fishing load capacity
- Promotes sustainability via efficient water management, pollution control, and responsible consumption
