Description

Drought: An Interdisciplinary Perspective by Benjamin I. Cook explores the complex phenomenon of drought and its environmental and social consequences. This comprehensive overview brings together climate science, hydrology, and ecology to examine the global water cycle, earth's climate system, and the distribution of water resources. Cook discusses drought dynamics and variability over time, as well as the climatological context and ecological effects, including desertification, land degradation, and groundwater depletion. He also considers the socioeconomic impacts of drought and the role of drought risk management policy in light of expected changes due to climate change. A scientifically comprehensive approach makes this book an essential resource for students in earth science and environmental studies, offering a broad understanding of water issues worldwide.
