In order to provide water security in the twenty-first century, there is universal agreement that a continuation of current policies and extrapolation of trends is not an option. Also clear is that from both water supply and development perspectives, the world's arid and semi-arid regions are those currently and potentially experiencing the highest water stresses. One third of the world's land surface is classified as arid or semi-arid, and about half of all countries are directly affected in some way by problems of aridity. The hydrology of arid and semi-arid areas is also known to be substantially different from that in more humid regions. It is therefore essential that investigation methods appropriate to the former are developed and applied, and that strategies for arid and semi-arid region water resources development recognise the principal characteristics of in-situ hydrological processes.
One Ambitious scientist makes a life changing discovery. That changes his family dynamics for future events. But he didn't realize his actions would intertwine his family with an alien race called NORIANS from the planet NORA. But when Doctor Howard Higgins mysteriously dies. Its his son Shawn Higgins and Shawn's best friend Stewart Collins who get pulled out of there lives and into Shawn's, father's mysterious work. They adventure to another whole new universe and finish or continue what Shawn's father started. So go on his out of the universe adventure with Shawn and Stewart. To the planet Nora and meet the Norians for the first time with Shawn and Stewart.
A milestone capturing the state of the art in hydrological science at the beginning of the 21st century, a chart for hydrologists exploring the new frontiers in hydrology, and a guide for those involved with developing and implementing water policies. It considers the capability that hydrological sciences will and should have by 2020, and what needs doing now in order to achieve this. There is an emphasis on societal issues and interdisciplinary work pertinent to hydrology as hydrologists cannot work in isolation from society.
