Call for Chapters: Reconsidering the Impact of Climate Change on Global
Water Supply, Use, and Management
It is estimated that by 2050, one quarter of the world’s population will
live in countries affected by chronic water shortage. Given regional
climate scenarios, it is perceived that future food and water security
can be seriously undermined in the entire region leading to serious
concerns of food security across the region. Aquatic ecosystems are
critical components of the global environment. In addition to being
essential contributors to biodiversity and ecological productivity, they
also provide a variety of services for human populations.
According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) the
impact of climate change on water resources is likely to have
significant implications for resource conservation,
businesses dependent on water, agriculture, and livelihoods, river
ecosystems and habitats, species diversity etc. Global climate
variability is expected to further exacerbate the vulnerability of
various regions in terms of reduced freshwater availability, food
shortages, health related risks, reduced adaptation of the poor and
vulnerable. Regionally, the repercussions could be critical for
economies like Brazil, India , China, etc. as well as industrialised
nations.
The book seeks to present an understanding of current state of knowledge
on impacts of climate change on water resources and its management in
various regions of the world with special reference on the linkages
between water, energy and climate, and water resource use and
efficiency. Additionally, the book will explore the various mitigation
and adaptation strategies and technology options being
developed for supporting water resource based ecosystems in the face of
climate change.
The proposed book will be a comprehensive reference publication on the
subject of water resources and climate change and will further enhance
the knowledge base of the sector for researchers, policy makers, and
others. The publication is also expected to throw light on the various
dimensions of environmental, social, and economic issues that drive
water management in the region in the face of adverse impacts of climate
change
Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before
*December 30, 2014*, a chapter proposal of 1,000 to 2,000 words clearly
explaining the mission and concerns of his or her proposed chapter.
Authors of accepted proposals will be notified by *January 15, 2015*
about the status of their proposals and sent chapter guidelines. Full
chapters are expected to be submitted by *February 28, 2015*. All

Group Inc.), an international academic publisher of the “Information
Science Reference” (formerly Idea Group Reference), “Medical Information
Science Reference,” “Business Science Reference,” and “Engineering
Science Reference” imprints.
