Readers will benefit from a coordinated and holistic approach to the subject, including sections covering needs, availability, governance, public health engineering, economics, the potential effects of climate change, water management, and sustainability, allowing the reader to understand the big picture of global water use under conditions of declining water resources.

The book also offers: * A thorough introduction to human and ecological water needs and how they interact * A discussion of available water resources and systemic problems of water quality * A comprehensive analysis of the human water footprint and factors driving water demand in modern society * An overview of the technological aspects of drinking water supply and sanitation, as well as the governance and management of water Perfect for undergraduate and graduate students studying hydrology and related subjects, Water: Our Sustainable and Unsustainable Use will also earn a place in the libraries of administrators, regulators, and economists involved in water resources management, as well as conservationists and ecologists.
