Excerpt

Assessing and managing water resources in developing and dryland regions is still fraught with difficulties. The typical tool chain of water resources management starts with the collection of data, subsequently processes and analyses the collected information within the natural and socio-economic setting, and finally generates end products that inform decision-making. However, several of these steps often turn out to be problematic when faced with development issues and severe strains on water resources. …
