However, water availability varies enormously in space, as less than 1,000 m3/person are available for more than 50% of the population. The temporal and spatial distribution of water resources is driven by processes highly variables across a country with different climates explained not only by a large range of latitudes (from 17 to 56 south), but also the presence of the Pacific Ocean and the Andes with peaks up to 7000 m. This geography makes of Chile a true natural laboratory in which water is essential for the society and the economy of the country. The relevance of water resources for the country has become even more significant in the context of a mega-drought that has affected practically the entire territory in recent years, although large floods such as those in Atacama 2015 and 2017 also take place periodically. This unique book brings together the state-of-art knowledge about the hydrology of Chile and its water resources, with a particular focus on quantitative aspects. The chapters are prepared by many of the most relevant researchers and practitioners working in water resources in the country. High-quality research contributions on climate and meteorology, surface and subsurface hydrology, water quality, water monitoring, water resource and global change, among other issues, are presented in this unique book, which offers a useful guide for academicians, researchers, practitioners and managers dealing with diverse water-related issues in Chile and other regions with similar characteristics. 001432873 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed February 17, 2021). 001432873 650_0 $$aWater resources development$$zChile. 001432873 650_6 $$aRessources en eau$$xExploitation$$zChili. 001432873 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001432873 7001_ $$aFernández, Bonifacio,$$eeditor. 001432873 7001_ $$aGironás, Jorge,$$eeditor. 001432873 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9783030569006 001432873 830_0 $$aWorld water resources ;$$v8. 001432873 852__ $$bebk 001432873 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-56901-3$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001432873 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1432873$$pGLOBAL_SET 001432873 980__ $$aBIB 001432873 980__ $$aEBOOK 001432873 982__ $$aEbook 001432873 983__ $$aOnline 001432873 994__ $$a92$$bISE
