Informed by an evolutionary political economy perspective, the book draws on a substantial group of international case studies to illustrate the relevance of theory to real life. Ranging widely, the author considers the conservation of rivers, lakes, wetlands, estuaries and coastal waters; land drainage; flood control and coastal defense; dam projects; the costs of freshwater supply; water use by households, agriculture, and other sectors; and wastewater treatment and disposal. Introducing a topic of crucial importance to a wide range of disciplines, this concise yet comprehensive text will be invaluable for students in environmental studies, geography, and economics.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 241mmItem Length: 160mmItem Width: 18mmItem Weight: 463gAuthor: Stephen MerrettGenre: Science Nature & MathRelease Year: 1997 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
