Description
First Published in 2011. Water is a scarce resource in the arid zones of Latin America and is sure to become more so. Population growth and rising income, coupled with rapid urbanization, assure continued steep increases in demand for water for irrigation and for industrial and municipal uses. This monograph offers an overall methodology and systematic analysis of a region's water problem.
