Water Resources in the Mediterranean Region summarizes and collates scientific developments around water resources in the Mediterranean socio-economic environment through a multidisciplinary framework synthesizing hydrology, hydrogeology, climate, bioclimatology, economics, and geography. As such, it provides essential information for any reader looking to learn more about the Mediterranean which is experiencing the impact of climate change and concurrent complex issues of anthropogenic effects, especially in agriculture and other resource uses.Water Resources in the Mediterranean Region covers different challenges in the issue of the evolution of water resources in the Mediterranean. It is intended for PhD students, research scientists, and managers interested in new solutions and approaches for water management and in the forecast of future water dynamics.
- Offers multidisciplinary content providing global visions of the challenges faced in the Mediterranean region
- Presents fundamental and operational studies, providing the reader with information on how to implement these actions and results themselves
- Written in a pedagogical manner, allowing for ease of reading for both researchers and water managers

Luca Brocca
Luca Brocca is Director of Research at CNR-IRPI. He received Ph.D. degree in 2008 in Civil Engineering from the University of Perugia, Italy. His main research interest lies in developing innovative methods for exploiting satellite observations in hydrological applications, such as floods and landslides, drought and agriculture. He has been the author and co-author of 200+ papers in peer-reviewed journals and proceedings (7000+ citations), 10 regional and global datasets of soil moisture and rainfall, and 6 software for hydrological applications. He serves as an editorial board member for several journals and he actively participates as the Principal Investigator (PI) and co-PI on several research projects within the frame of Italian, European and International programmes.

Yves Tramblay
Yves Tramblay completed a Ph.D. in 2008 in Hydrology at the National Institute of Scientific Research (INRS) of Québec, Canada. Since 2013 he has been working for the French Institute of Research for Development, in the HydroSciences Montpellier laboratory. His research focuses on hydrological hazards in the Mediterranean region such as heavy rainfall, floods and droughts, with the goals to improve the modelling of these events in semi- arid environments using statistical or process-based approaches. He also evaluates the climate change impacts on these hazards, with various downscaling methods adapted to the Mediterranean context.
