520 0 "The urban water management system is considered here as
two integrated processes: water supply management and
water excess management. The first six chapters provide an
overview of the various aspects of IUWM in arid and semi-
arid regions, with emphasis on water supply technologies,
such as artificial recharge, water transfers, desalination,
and rainwater harvesting. Water excess management is
examined in the context of both stormwater management and
floodplain management. Case studies from developed and
developing countries are presented in order to emphasize
the various needs and challenges of water management in
urban environments in arid and semi-arid regions
worldwide."--Publisher's description
