Routledge - Managing a Sea: The Ecological Economics of the Baltic

The global water crisis is reaching a critical point. With over a billion people lacking safe drinking water and half the world without adequate sanitation, the need for effective resource management has never been greater. Within a single generation, more than three billion people are expected to face water stress. Managing a Sea: The Ecological Economics of the Baltic provides a deep analysis of these management challenges. This text examines how water can be used both effectively and productively through an integrated approach. The authors argue that sustainable water resources depend on careful planning and concerted action to drive the fundamental changes required to prevent immense future consequences. This book serves as an essential resource for understanding the economic and ecological complexities of water management. It offers a framework for addressing the crisis through strategic planning and integrated resource use. The text also includes a CD-ROM containing background information to support your study and research.
