520			_aIn the 1990s, the main challenge facing the water resources profession is how to maximize all the positive impacts of any water development project, and minimize the adverse ones. Past experience from various parts of the world clearly indicates that water projects can be better planned and managed to ensure more reliable water availability and its efficient use in different sectors. It is now possible to control water pollution and flood damages with better management of water resources, thus making social and environmental impacts substantially beneficial to the people in the project areas. Environmentally-sound water management is, therefore, one of the most important policy options available to the decision-makers in developing countries. The present text, edited by two of the world's leading authorities on environmentally-sound water management, is the first book ever written on this vitally important area. It addresses this subject objectively and in an integrated fashion. The book is the direct result of a cooperative venture between the International Training Centre for Water Resources Management, United Nations Environment Programme and the International Water Resources Association. While the main aim of the book is to promote environmentally-sound water management in developing countries, it would also be of direct interest to water professionals in developed nations.
