Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building water-wise cities is a pressing need nowadays in both developed and developing countries. This is mainly due to the limitation of the available water resources and aging infrastructure to meet the needs of adapting to social and environmental changes and for urban liveability. This is the first book to provide comprehensive insights into theoretical, systematic, and engineering aspects of water-wise cities with a broad coverage of global issues. The book aims to (1) provide a theoretical framework of water-wise cities and associated sustainable water systems including key concepts and principles, (2) provide a brand-new thinking on the design and management of sustainable urban water systems of various scales towards a paradigm shift under the resource and environmental constraints, and (3) provide a technological perspective with successful case studies of technology selection, integration, and optimization on the “fit-for-purpose” basis.

Book excerpt: Can you grow your own food without irrigation? Do you know how to make the best use of the water you have? Are you able to build a survival garden that will survive a changing climate or drought?Water-Wise Gardening gives you the answers and will change the way you think about growing food. If you were raised on gardening books extolling the wonders of dense plantings in tiny beds, this book will open your eyes to an entirely new realm of knowledge. Our ancestors knew how to grow food without pressure-treated lumber, massive piles of mulch, fancy containers or garden sprinklers. Most gardeners have never considered trying to garden on just rainfall - yet it's often possible. Sometimes it even gives you better-tasting and more nutrient-dense food. In Water-Wise Gardening, you'll learn how to simply and effectively grow food using ancient time-tested techniques that consume less water and less fertilizer and sometimes less effort. This new second edition greatly expands upon the groundbreaking work Steve did in his first edition and is a valuable resource for gardening in good times and in bad, helping you steward your liquid assets while still getting the best-looking and best-tasting produce you can imagine. This book focuses on how to grow food with limited water across the United States and Canada plus has new insight on how to irrigate and water wisely.If you are concerned about maintaining your family's food supply or farming with a minimal use of water, you need this book. Water-Wise Gardening is a must-have for every self-sufficiency library.
