Water Supply in Emergency Situations (Hardcover, 2007 ed.)

Water is essential for life and the trigger for this book was the growing threat to uninterrupted, good quality water to large concentrations of population.These threats include natural and man-made, whether accidental or terrorism-related. Israel in particular is acutely aware of the risks of terror, including to its water supply and it is not surprising that the initiative for a NATO workshop, the outcome of which is presented here, came from this country.This book arose from the three-day NATO Advanced Workshop entitled 'Supply of Water to Cities in Emergency Situations' organized by ICTAF at Tel-Aviv University and The University of Thessaly, Department of Planning and Regional Development.
