Water Management and Sustainability in Asia covers topics related to water resources management, including multi- and interdisciplinary research on flood, soil infiltration, contaminants, sediment, water quality, hydrological modelling, and water resources systems.
This book comprises selected proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Water Resources 2021 (ICWR2021) focusing on innovations and preparations to face the water-related challenges. Focus is given in the area of quantitative and qualitative water resource analyses comprising of forecasting, modelling and water governance. The contents will be useful to researchers, educators, practitioners and policy-makers alike.
RAYU... rayulah lagi! Semakin mangsanya menangis dan merayu agar dia berhenti menyeksa mereka, semakin dia seronok. Rayuan mereka seolah-olah nyanyian merdu di telinganya. Dia ketagih melihat darah. Lagi banyak darah, lagi dia seronok. Melihat mangsanya menggelepar kesakitan adalah satu kepuasan yang tidak dapat diungkap dengan kata-kata. Dia adalah seorang algojo yang ditugaskan untuk menghukum pesalah. Mangsanya bukan sebarang mangsa. Dia memilih perempuan seperti Sherry kerana Sherry adalah sasaran yang mudah dan paling penting, Sherry adalah seorang pendosa. Setiap pendosa harus dihukum. Di dalam kurungan, Sherry didera dan dibiarkan kebuluran. Bagaimanakah nasib Sherry? Apakah dia harus mati di tangan algojo itu? Kemudian, muncul pula Doktor Humaira, seorang doktor pakar psikiatri. Apakah seorang pakar psikiatri sepertinya dapat lari daripada digasak memori silam yang menakutkan? Siapa pula lelaki bernama Luth, Hidayat serta Hakeem? Awas, algojo itu masih bebas dan sedang mencari mangsa seterusnya!
Challenges, Opportunities and Solutions in Structural Engineering and Construction addresses the latest developments in innovative and integrative technologies and solutions in structural engineering and construction, including: Concrete, masonry, steel and composite structures; Dynamic impact and earthquake engineering; Bridges and
This book contains a collection of papers presented at a series of meetings organised by the Wessex Institute of Technology (WIT) dealing with sustainability, the environment and ecological issues. The complexity of the modern world presents new challenges to scientists and engineers that requires finding interdisciplinary solutions. Any problem solving carried out in the isolation of a particular field of expertise may give rise to a series of damaging effects which can create new and unintentional environmental and ecological problems. Specialisation, while required in our culture, needs to be kept under control by the understanding of the whole, which leads to the need of relying on inter...

This book brings together a selection of best papers from The International Conference on Water and Flood Management, Bangladesh, 2021. The book chapters are based on contributions from multidisciplinary fields, such as nature-based solutions, hydro-meteorological forecasting, river restoration, coastal risk, episodic natural hazards, water risk and resilience, climate-resilient infrastructure, blue economy, and water management during the COVID-19 pandemic. With changing physical and socioeconomic risks due to changes in climate and anthropogenic interventions, integrated approaches to analyzing these processes and their interactions, along with integrating nature-based solutions, are gaining traction. With this special focus on science, policy, and practice to ensure sustainability in the water sector, the conference provided a platform for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to exchange their knowledge and experience.
Finalist for the National Book Award An intimate reckoning with aquifer depletion in America's heartland The Ogallala aquifer has nourished life on the American Great Plains for millennia. But less than a century of unsustainable irrigation farming has taxed much of the aquifer beyond repair. The imminent depletion of the Ogallala and other aquifers around the world is a defining planetary crisis of our times. Running Out offers a uniquely personal account of aquifer depletion and the deeper layers through which it gains meaning and force. Anthropologist Lucas Bessire journeyed back to western Kansas, where five generations of his family lived as irrigation farmers and ranchers, to try to ma...
