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
