Water-Soil-Vegetation Nexus and Climate Change presents an overview of research needs and approaches regarding water-soil-vegetation nexus and climate change. The book includes chapters discussing water budget and factors that affect hydrologic processes such as precipitation, runoff, infiltration, evapotranspiration, soil water, and groundwater, in addition to a focus on consumptive (e.g., domestic and irrigation) and non-consumptive (e.g., eco-environmental) water uses, and water shortage. Throughout the book, chapters specifically deal with the fundamental principles and also case studies, applications, and decision support tools that can be usable for developing practical management measures in sustaining our eco-environment and society by maintaining an optimal water-soil-vegetation equilibrium. Written with water resources students and professors in mind, this book will provide the reader with further knowledge on the water-soil-vegetation nexus and its connection to climate change.
