BRICS Countries: Sustainable Water Resource Management and Pollution Control

This book provides a detailed study and assessment of water resources management and

pollution control in different BRICS countries. The regions involved are

Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. This book gives important

insight into how future sustainability depends on the development of effective

water governance mechanisms at the level of countries. According to the

regional characteristics from different aspects it cuts into the water

environment problems and studies in different ways, which is multifaceted and

targeted. Using case studies that include environmentally integrated basin

experiments (eibex) of Brazil, groundwater overflow zone of India, semi-arid

river basin of South Africa and so on, this volume provides critical

information for researchers and policymakers.

Presents an integral framework for understanding water environment and pollution formation reasons in BRICS Guides policies and countermeasures designed to face challenges and opportunities of water management Features comprehensive and up-to-date research highlights such as EIBEX in brazil
