| Abstract

Water is becoming a critical resource issue for the 21st century, and yet no definitive text exists which reliably assesses the current status of water resources development and management in Canada, USA and Mexico on a holistic and multidisciplinary basis. This book will be of direct interest to all water professionals who are interested in the water resources of North America from any disciplinary perspective.
