Coastal Reservoir Technology and Applications : Elsevier : 9780323907903 : 0323907903 : 17 Feb 2022 : Coastal Reservoir Technology and Applications presents the analyses showing that the world is not running out of water, but water is running out of river mouths?we need to work to harness this resource. Compared with inland water storages and desalination technology, coastal reservoirs are a nature-based water solution without disturbing the environment.
