"This book brings together climate science, hydrology, and ecology to provide a synthetic overview of drought and its environmental and social consequences. A complex phenomenon at the intersection of a range of disciplines and public policy issues, drought is one of the many problems anthropogenic climate change may exacerbate. A scientifically comprehensive and approachable overview of water issues throughout the world, this book is an essential resource for a broad range of studies in earth science and environmental and sustainability studies"--Publisher description
