Conservation and better management of this invisible resource should  be a key ingredient of sustainable water policies. This is especially  true in areas, such as many Mediterranean regions, which are already  exposed to scarcity problems and which are likely to experience  increasing competition between freshwater uses and users. Agriculture  is an important user of groundwater not only in terms of abstractions,  but also in terms of generation and release of pollutants.  Agricultural policies, traditionally directed towards other  objectives, are beginning to pay more attention to environmental  considerations. However more effective initiatives are required to  reduce the pressure upon groundwater resources and to achieve a better  integration between agricultural and environmental policies. \u003cbr\u003e  This book has been developed from three workshops held as part of the  EU Concerted Action SAGA, \"Sustainable Agricultural Use of Aquifers in  Southern Europe: Integration between Agricultural and Water Management  Policies\" (FAIR5-CT97-3673). The Concerted Action and the workshops  brought together researchers working in different but complementary  fields, in order to get a picture of the state-of-the art about  interlinkages between agriculture and groundwater, as well a critical  review of alternative regulatory approaches and policy instruments  aimed at improving groundwater management.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2010-12-15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9789048156504\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789048156504\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-015-9781-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 244cm x170cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 302\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44343363109004,"sku":"9789048156504","price":153.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789048156504_566fcea8-a58b-4a6b-ae10-3d421cda7ecb.jpg?v=1755053689","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789048156504","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
