This book provides a detailed study and assessment of water resources management and
pollution control in different BRICS countries. The regions involved are
Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. This book gives important
insight into how future sustainability depends on the development of effective
water governance mechanisms at the level of countries. According to the
regional characteristics from different aspects it cuts into the water
environment problems and studies in different ways, which is multifaceted and
targeted. Using case studies that include environmentally integrated basin
experiments (eibex) of Brazil, groundwater overflow zone of India, semi-arid
river basin of South Africa and so on, this volume provides critical
information for researchers and policymakers.
