Climate Change Impacts in India Springer, Berlin

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

This book focuses on the impact of climate change on India, addressing environmental problems and conducting an analysis of the climate change impact on mitigation processes. It examines crucial factors such as soil capability, soil erosion, soil salinity, and watershed planning, as well as the influence of climate change on water resources, including groundwater. The book explores the interconnections between climate change, soil erosion, natural resources, and agricultural practices, emphasizing their direct or indirect effects on water, vegetation, irrigation planning, and the environment.Furthermore, it delves into various aspects of soil erosion, soil compaction, soil nutrients, aquifers, and the impact of climate change on vegetation, crops, pests, moisture, and sustainable yield. These factors contribute to the development of climate change-related factors within the agricultural sector, ultimately fostering sustainable development and management practices for the future. The book also highlights the significance of parameters such as land use change analysis, rainfall, water resources, crop yield, sustainable agricultural development, pest management, and disease control in accurately assessing the impact of climate change. The insights gained from these analyses can inform future development and planning strategies. Therefore, this book serves as a valuable resource for researchers, scientists, NGOs, and academics interested in understanding the impact of climate change on natural resources and ecological systems.

Sustainability of Water Resources Springer, Berlin

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

This book covers a wide spectrum of water resources management, including water supply and demand, operation and maintenance of water distribution systems, water quality assessment, impacts of climate change on hydrological extremes, and water governance. Rapid urbanization, industrialization, and population growth are the major factors contributing to a significant rise in water demands across all the sectors in India. Although the Indian Summer Monsoon Rainfall contributes primarily to the available surface and groundwater resources, recurrent non-uniform/erratic rainfall events have resulted in widespread water scarcity. On many occasions, extreme meteorological conditions trigger the severity of water-related disasters such as floods and droughts. The untreated wastewater from domestic and industrial sources discharged through un-engineered means, adds to the issue as it ends up polluting the surface and groundwater resources.

Climate Wars - What People Will Be Killed For in the 21st Century Polity Press

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Struggles over drinking water, new outbreaks of mass violence, ethnic cleansing, civil wars in the earth's poorest countries, endless flows of refugees: these are the new conflicts and forces shaping the world of the 21st century. They no longer hinge on ideological rivalries between great powers but rather on issues of class, religion and resources. The genocides of the last century have taught us how quickly social problems can spill over into radical and deadly solutions. Rich countries are already developing strategies to garner resources and keep 'climate refugees' at bay.In this major new book Harald Welzer shows how climate change and violence go hand in hand. Climate change has far-reaching consequences for the living conditions of peoples around the world: inhabitable spaces shrink, scarce resources become scarcer, injustices grow deeper, not only between North and South but also between generations, storing up material for new social tensions and giving rise to violent conflicts, civil wars and massive refugee flows. Climate change poses major new challenges in terms of security, responsibility and justice, but as Welzer makes disturbingly clear, very little is being done to confront them.
