Abstract: "The Blue Revolution discusses the revolution that is underway in the development of new plans, strategies and designs for land use and all water related developments. Calder provides fresh information on land-water interactions that dispel much of the mythology that has hindered rational land use and water resource decision making in the past. This essential guide to recent breakthroughs in water resource management will prove indispensable to policymakers, researchers and students of hydrology, geography, biology and environmental sciences."--Jacket.
