- Summary:
-
"As human populations expand and wealth increases, so do the demands upon natural resources and the need to manage the environments in which people live. Land and water management is especially critical as the use of upstream watersheds can drastically affect large numbers of people living downstream. Fortunately, new technologies and institutional arrangements as well as integrated approaches that stress the importance of participatory planning are also emerging to make dealing with the various issues and opportunities easier and more effective." "Using a practical approach, based on both theory and examples from around the world, this book provides a guide to the principles, institutional approaches and technologies involved in integrated watershed management. Reviewing workable solutions to the problems of land and water use, this text will be essential for both students and professionals involved in managing the use of renewable natural resources."--BOOK JACKET.
