Book Description:
This book relates the problems of water resources developments. Geared toward professionals with basic engineering knowledge, it covers the following topics: the environment, population and development, water supply, floods and flood control, navigation, hydroelectric power, irrigation, multiple (comprehensive) purpose planning system, water quality and pollution control, runoff control/storm water management and standards, coordination under present institutions, and coordination through Federal/State planning. Stressing the need for coordination between current environmental regulations and water resources planning, this volume also covers much of the history of water resources planning
This review is from Amazon: Water Resources: A New Era for Coordination (Paperback)
At best an introductory book for those who want to know what water planning is, but certainly not a book for professionals... A New Era for Coordination ?
Only the last two chapters (10 pages) allude to the topic.
But like the other chapters, it stays really superficial, and the few anecdotes don't bring much.
So for "those navigating the rapids of multiple water resource planning agencies..." I could recommend dozens of better books.
Even as an introductory book, it is really too shallow and superficial, topics are rapidly discussed with little, if any, analysis.
