Springer Management of Water Resources in Poland (Springer Water)

This book contains a rich resource of essential information on the water resources capacities in Poland. This book contributes to the recognition of water resources management including extreme hydrological events such as floods and droughts. The book incorporates case studies illustrating solutions of water quantity management in Poland. This edited book covers all water bodies in the country including rivers, lakes, reservoirs and groundwater.  The novelty of this book is that it represents the first time a manuscript covers the assessment of water resources in Poland, including variability, availability and economic use of the hydrological resources in the country with the lowest renewable resources of surface water per inhabitant in Europe. Given the depth and breadth of its coverage, the book offers engineers, researchers, policy planners, decision makers, and stakeholders essential new insights into efficient water resources management.   From the Back Cover This book contains a rich resource of essential information on the water resources capacities in Poland.

Dr. Katarzyna Kubiak-Wójcicka is a hydrologist. Acquired the PhD degree in the area of Earth sciences, geography in 2006. She works at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, Poland, at the Department of Hydrology and Water Management of the Faculty of Earth Sciences. She is the author of numerous papers on variability of river runoff with main object of interest being the Vistula river and its tributaries. Apart from scientific articles, she is experienced in hydrographic map editing and creating hydrological expert opinions for the purposes of civil courts and municipal governments. Prof. Abdelazim Negm is a professor of Water Resources at the Faculty of Engineering, Zagazig University, Egypt, since 2004. He got his PhD in 1992 from Zagazig University (ZU) an his Msc from Ain shams University in the year 1990. He was the vice dean of the Faculty of Engineering of ZU from 12/2008 to 12/2011 and was the head of the Environmental Engineering Dept. at Egypt-Japan University of Science and Technology (E-JUST), Egypt 10/2013 to 9/2015. He participated in several international projects since 2006 until now. He published more than 300 papers in national and international journals and conferences. Some of his papers were awarded the prize of the best papers. He is the editor of several volumes of the Springer Handbook of Environmental Chemistry series (HEC series). Two volumes were published in May 2017 and one of them was within the top ten in water science for the year 2017. Also, ten volumes are publis
