Abstract: ''This comprehensive handbook covers multiple aspects of hydrology and with a new approach. Other books on the subject deal mostly with classical aspects of hydrology--particularly surface and ground water--and physical and chemical pollution. This volume covers management topics including water scarcity, water security, water policy and governance, and more. It highlights the environmental aspects of hydrology such as environmental river flow, environmental nanotechnology, phyto-remediation, and constructed wetlands''
