Integrating the latest developments in urban water hydrology and management, Urban Water Engineering and Management takes a system approach to urban water hydrology, engineering, planning, and management, supplying examples and case studies and highlighting pressing issues such as urban water governance, disaster management, and climate change impacts on urban areas. This expanded and updated edition draws attention to climate change as a main concern of this century by focusing on how it impacts the water cycle. Time-series analysis is simplified in a practical manner, and hydro-informatics principles and applications in urban water are also added as unique features of this edition. Written and designed especially for intermediate and advanced courses/modules in water resources in civil and environmental engineering and in urban planning, this book can be used as a textbook for civil engineering, urban and regional planning, geography, environmental science, and in courses dealing with the urban water cycle. Features: Is updated throughout and adds numerous new examples and case studies. Integrates the latest developments in urban water hydrology and management, providing a holistic system perspective on urban water engineering and planning. Includes numerous examples, case studies, and technological and IT tools addressing critical issues such as urban water governance, asset and disaster management, and the impacts of climate change on urban areas. Offers new insights for engineers, policy-makers, and decision-makers, emphasizing the importance of integrated water management and planning solutions for sustainable urban development.

Increasing demand for water, higher standards of living, depletion of resources of acceptable quality, and excessive water pollution due to urban, agricultural, and industrial expansions have caused intense environmental, social, economic, and political predicaments. More frequent and severe floods and droughts have changed the resiliency and ability of water infrastructure systems to operate and provide services to the public. These concerns and issues have also changed the way we plan and manage our surface and groundwater resources. Groundwater Hydrology: Engineering, Planning, and Management, Second Edition presents a compilation of the state-of-the-art subjects and techniques in the education and practice of groundwater and describes them in a systematic and integrated fashion useful for undergraduate and graduate students and practitioners. This new edition features updated materials, computer codes, and case studies throughout. Features: Discusses groundwater hydrology, hydraulics, and basic laws of groundwater movement Describes environmental water quality issues related to groundwater, aquifer restoration, and remediation techniques, as well as the impacts of climate change \ Examines the details of groundwater modeling and simulation of conceptual models Applies systems analysis techniques in groundwater planning and management Delineates the modeling and downscaling of climate change impacts on groundwater under the latest IPCC climate scenarios Written for students as well as practicing water resource engineers, the book develops a system view of groundwater fundamentals and model-making techniques through the application of science, engineering, planning, and management principles. It discusses the classical issues in groundwater hydrology and hydraulics followed by coverage of water quality issues. It also introduces basic tools and decision-making techniques for future groundwater development activities, taking into account regional sustainability issues. The combined coverage of engineering and planning tools and techniques, as well as specific challenges for restoration and remediation of polluted aquifers sets this book apart.
