Water Resources Abstracts provides summaries of the world's technical and scientific literature on water-related topics covering the characteristics, conservation, control, pollution, treatment, use and management of water resources. Abstracts are drawn from journals, books, conference proceedings, and technical reports in the physical and life sciences, as well as from engineering, legal and government publications.
Until 1994, the database was produced by the United States Geological Survey, when it was generally known as Selected Water Resources Abstracts. Since that time, Water Resources Abstracts has been produced by Cambridge Scientific Abstracts, which broadened the scope by including more material published outside the U.S.A. This database, which concentrates on water supply and water treatment, complements the Aquatic Sciences & Fisheries Abstracts database, ASFA, where there is greater coverage of the marine environment and biological material.

Abstract
The Anglian region is one of the driest areas in the UK, with
often potentially conflicting demands for limited water resources.
Experiences over the last thirty years are described in relation
to the development of a policy to satisfy the needs of both public
water supply and the environment. Examples of the relationship
between water resource development and water-dependent environments
are described together with the role of demand management. Concerns
are raised as to the further expectations of water supply customers,
the long- term effect of demand management and the expectations
of the regulators and environmentalists. |
