Transboundary Water Resources: A Foundation for Regional Stability in Central Asia
The Central Asian republics and neighboring countries are currently experiencing problems related to the availability and efficient/equitable distribution of freshwater. This book contains papers from a NATO-sponsored Advanced Research Workshop that was organized to address these concerns. It addresses the myriad of issues involving shared freshwater among the countries in this region, discussing ecology, law, economics, politics, water policy and integrated water management.
Water Unites
Central Asia is a fascinating part of the world. It is rich in culture, natural resources, unique landscapes, wonderful people and of course water. The exhibition catalogue "From the Glaciers to the Aral Sea - Water Unites" wants to foster a better understanding of the Central Asian countries we associate with the Silk Road. The exhibition shows how people live in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. It also shows how water serves all the living beings in the region. The book has two parts: An analytical part, which contains background information on water and transboundary water resources management and a second part with photos, which aim to bring the region closer to the reader.

Publisher Description
Industrial Mathematics
This book provides a concise, single-source survey of all the mathematics most useful in industry today-- particularly modeling and the unit $. Each chapter begins with a brief review of some relevant mathematics; then introduces the industrial extension of this same material via typical real-world applications. The power of interweaving analytic with computing methods during problem solving is demonstrated throughout and MATLAB code is integrated into the flow of the narrative. A chapter on Technical Writing--covering formal technical reports, memos, progress reports, executive summaries, problem statements, overhead projector presentations--shows how to best present mathematical data in a ...
Medical Geology
Geology, one of the basic natural sciences, is proving to be of outstanding importance in solving problems relating to: - agriculture - exploitation of the Earth's mineral resources - environmental issues - soil preservation - water - energy and other resources - protection against natural disasters (landslides, floods, volcanic eruptions and earthquakes) as well as human health. The main objective of the book Medical Geology: Effects of Geological Environments on Human Health is to show how the geological environment affects human health and to explore preventative methods for improvement.This monograph consists of the following five segments: - Introduction - Geological and other factors and their influence on the human health - Subject, tasks and methods of geomedical discipline - Regional medical geology - Applied medical geology The topics covered in this book will be of interest to a wide circle of readers, including geologists, doctors, biologists, ecologists, planners and many others who are dedicated to the quality and protection of human health.
Sha'ar Hagolan
This is the second of the final reports on the excavation of the Neolithic site of Sha'ar Hagolan in the Jordan Valley of Israel, which presents and analyzes the architecture and stratigraphy of the site. Sha'ar Hagolan was a major settlement in numerous respects: its large size (20 hectares), the earliest known appearance of the courtyard house concept in its large dwelling complexes, and its planned layout with an organized network of passageways, including straight main streets that were regularly resurfaced. In addition, the well uncovered at the site, one of the oldest in the world, reveals sophisticated hydrological technology. These revolutionary discoveries have completely altered our understanding of the 6th millennium BCE and shed new light on the rise of urban concepts in the ancient Near East.
Bridges Over Water: Understanding Transboundary Water Conflict, Negotiation And Cooperation (Second Edition)
Bridges over Water places the study of transboundary water conflicts, negotiation, and cooperation in the context of various disciplines, such as international relations, international law, international negotiations, and economics. It demonstrates their application, using various quantitative approaches, such as river basin modeling, quantitative negotiation theory, and game theory. Case-studies of particular transboundary river basins, lakes, and aquifers are also considered.This second edition updates the literature on international water and in-depth analyses on political developments and cooperation between riparian states. With an appended chapter on principles and practices of negotiation, and a new case study on the La Plata Basin, this edition is a timely update to the field of transboundary water studies.
International Water Treaties
Systematic and analytical, this book, written an expert in the field of hydro-politics, develops a theory to explain solutions to property rights conflicts over shared rivers. .
