Aridity is the imbalance between long-term average water supply and long-term average water demand. Arid environments cover more than one-third of the world's land area and represent the most common habitat on Earth after the oceans. Aridity poses a threat to the environment and the economy, and to security, development, food security, and social life around the world. The causes of increased aridity are complex and are thought to be both natural and man-made. The causes of drought include such factors as climate change, population growth, soil erosion, inappropriate irrigation, poor farming methods, soil, water, and groundwater contamination, urbanization, deforestation, improper water management, and desertification of arid and semi-arid zones. This book contains valuable scientific studies on such aspects of aridity as surface and groundwater management, land use, and agricultural applications. Case studies from different geographies and planets are included.

The deterioration of the balance between precipitation and evaporation and the long duration of this situation is known as drought. Drought adversely affects many environmental components such as soil processes, vegetation growth, wildlife, water quality, and aquatic ecosystems. While drought has unfavorable impacts on both surface and groundwater resources, hydrological regimes can also be affected by it, changing the chemistry of surface waters and the runoff pathway, which can negatively influence water quality. Today one out of every three people is faced with the drought and water shortage risk, thus water scarcity and water stress. This book presents studies on the various forms and severity of the drought that can occur in almost every region of the world as well as their causes and impacts. It analyzes in detail the complex drought phenomenon, which has a significant impact on water resources, agriculture, energy production, human health, and forest fires.

Increasing urbanization, population growth, and climate change require responsible consumption of all resources, primarily energy. Worldwide energy efficiency applications, renewable energy, and related technologies will be the driving force in the energy sector. It is envisaged that large amounts of carbon emissions can be prevented by changing the electricity production and consumption habits of societies and transforming them into renewable energy and related technologies in energy systems. This book presents valuable scientific studies on clean energy technologies and analyzes hydrogen production processes in detail.

To conserve water, one of the most valuable and vital resources in the world, management and public strategies, processes to reduce water consumption in industrial/commercial applications, and methods such as smart irrigation systems have been proposed. Local authorities have focused on infrastructure operations to prevent water losses and flow measurements have begun to be followed more closely. The use of greywater for partial recycling of water for household purposes and rainwater harvesting systems are being encouraged. In addition, there is more research on water conservation, its smart use, and recycling of used water being conducted. This book presents valuable scientific research on water and land management, groundwater management, and water/wastewater treatment applications for the conservation of water.
