Balancing water for humans and nature: London ; Sterling, VA: English View all editions and formats Summary: This work exposes how water flow links nature and society through water's many parallel functions as the "blood stream" of both the natural environment and the embedded human environment - and the resulting conflicts that arise.

The authors argue that a sustainable future depends fundamentally on our ability to manage these trade-offs.

Based on per capita needs for an acceptable nutritional diet, the authors analyse the amounts of water needed for global food production by and identify potential sources. Drawing on small-scale experiences in Africa and Asia, they also cover the vulnerability of the semi-arid tropics, disentangling it into green and blue water scarcity components.

About this book Two of the leading experts on water management argue for a new ecological approach to understanding and managing water resources. Contents Part 1 Water functions in the life-support system: Part 2 Closing up on the vulnerable Savanna zone: Part 3 Finding the balance between water for humans and for nature: Customer Reviews Review this book. Falkenmark Stockhold International Water Inst. For Water Education, The Netherlands have written an excellent book that bridges hydrology and ecology. The authors advocate an ecohydrological approach to water management based on the principle that rainfall, not runoff, constitutes the basic freshwater resource.

The strong links between soil, water, plants, and the atmosphere are evident when rainfall is partitioned 'green' water vapor flow from evaporation and transpiration and 'blue' liquid water flow in rivers, lakes, and aquifers. With proper management, green water needs for producing food and maintaining natural biomass growth may be reduced, thereby securing more blue water for sustaining ecosystems and human activities.

This book focuses on four areas: The fundamental issue addressed by the authors is the socioecohydrological balance between the beneficial use of water for goods and services e.
