About this book
It will be a handbook for all researchers studying on integrated river basin management. Our book covers detailed research methods, issues, and frontier research questions and our answers for all people who are interested in this research direction. Particularly, socio-economic transaction of water use management is highly relevant to people’s daily life and their quality of life with environmental challenges. Academic contribution of this book will be technically explanation of terms, relationships, linkages, and consequence of environmental degradation from the tangent of integrated water management. Hence, it will offer many chances to the scientists, economists, sociologists, and other scholars from different subjects.
Theories and methods to be addressed in this book are supposed to distinguish research mechanisms within various complex systems. Some research findings based on the extended input-output table nested
by accounting of water and land will be introduced to show economic interdependence in a regional economic system, and its consequence under different designed scenarios will be discussed for broaden readers’ visions of the research in this field.An overview analysis on existing challenges and opportunities in some certain resource-limited areas has considerable potentials of improvement on integrated water management for regional green development. Our book will discuss many natural resource but focus on two natural resources including the water and land resources issues for studying a conceptual framework of integrated water management.

About the editors
Zheng is the author of numerous papers, books and transport models that are heavily cited each year. He is published in numerous areas of the hydrogeology field, including aquifer remediation design, contaminant degradation process simulation, monitoring network design, single- and multi-rate mass transfer and groundwater-surface water interactions. His books on applied contaminant transport modeling, co-written with Gordon Bennett, are used in
classes throughout the world and as reference books by those involved in contaminant hydrogeologic modeling.
Prof. Cheng Guodong, was elected the academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) in 1993 and
had held several important posts such as president of International Permafrost Association (1993-1998) and director of State Key Laboratory of Frozen Soils Engineering (1996-2005). He is the principal investigator of the Heihe River Basin ecohydrological study, an on-going major research initiative (2010-2017) supported by the National Science Foundation of China (NSFC). Currently he is the director of the Geosciences Directorate of the NSFC.
Dr. Bojie Fu was electedan academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2011. His major research interests are landscape pattern and ecological processes, land use change and environmental effects, ecosystem services and assessment.
