Описание: Qanat is a gently sloping subterranean canal, which taps a water-bearing zone at a higher elevation than cultivated lands. A qanat consist of a series of vertical shafts in sloping ground, interconnected at the bottom by a tunnel with a gradient flatter than that of the ground. From the air, this system looks like a line of anthills leading from the foothills across the desert to the greenery of an irrigated settlement. Qanat engages a variety of knowledge and its studying entails an interdisciplinary approach. In a traditional realm, qanats are embraced by a socio-economic system which guarantees their sustainability. The facets of this socio-economic system operate closely together and make it possible for the qanats to remain into future. Veins of the Desert shows that digging a qanat requires a variety of sciences and technologies, though at a glance qanat is just a horizontal tunnel which drains out groundwater. Qanat is a feat of technology left from our ancestors; hidden underground, but its technical importance is apparent, not less valuable than such surface structures as bridges, castles, towers, etc. Qanat enjoys extended structures and sometimes its length reaches tens of kilometers. It passes through geological formations and faces different conditions and obstacles, so the qanat masters' efforts to solve these problems led to the accumulation of knowledge in terms of qanat construction over time, which has been handed down from generation to generation. Qanat is one of the most complicated traditional technologies, which require knowledge on nature ranging from groundwater to management. This indigenous technology used to bring water efficiently from tens of kilometers away to the thirsty lands. This book also gives insight into cultural and social heritages, which have crystalized around this technique. This cultural heritage still influences social life of the people living in such regions as central plateau of Iran where qanat has been the only means of supplying water. This technology is the focal point of the genesis of a particular civilization in the arid and semi-arid regions of Iran. The harsh environment drove those people to invent the technology of qanat and the know-how revolving around it. Qanat carries a tradition of science and technology which used to be practiced in order to overcome the technical obstacles in qanat construction. Thus, qanat is not only an irrigational means, but it should be seen as a technical and cultural legacy which deserves more attention. This book is a small encyclopedia on qanat system, providing the readers with easy answers to their questions about different aspects of this ancient technology.

The geo-climatic conditions of South and South-East Asian countries are diverse and vulnerable to multiple natural hazards such as drought. Drought evolves over months or even years, affects a large spatial extent and causes enormous damages. Drought Risk Management in South and South-East Asia is a comprehensive reference on overall perspectives and scenarios on drought risk mitigation and management, based on researches and case studies from South and South-East Asian countries. Drought management is a complex area of work that requires active and continuous participation of the national, provincial and local governments, multiple ministries, and divisions. This book demonstrates the best practices of socio-economic and technological interventions to enhance drought risk management, which will help to develop plans and policies, and their implementation to reduce the impact of droughts. It also offers views of field practitioners on impacts of the interventions practised at the national, sub-national and local levels.

Drought challenges: Livelihood Implications in Developing Countries provides an understanding of the occurrence and impacts of droughts for developing countries, and for specific vulnerable sub-groups such as women and pastoralists. It presents tools for assessing vulnerabilities, introduces them to individual policies to combat the effects of droughts, and highlights the importance of integrated multi-sectoral approaches and drought networks of actors at various levels. Currently, there are few books on the market that address the growing need for knowledge and best practices on these cross-cutting issues.
Drought can occur virtually anywhere but is often overlooked. The systemic connections between droughts and livelihoods are a key factor in development in many dryland and agriculturally-dependent nations and regions; even so, there is limited interaction and coordination across practitioners, governments, and institutional 'silos' on tackling the challenges posed by drought. However, attitudes are changing, and there is growing recognition of the need for future cooperation and innovation between silos. Drought challenges: Livelihood Implications in Developing Countries bridges the gap by bringing various actors together to work for a common purpose.
Connects the biophysical, social, economic, policy and institutional aspects of droughts across multiple regions in developing world
Analyzes policy linkages between government agencies, public institutions, NGOs, the private sector and communities
Includes a discussion of gender dimensions of drought and its impacts
Presents a multi-sectoral perspective, including the human dimensions of drought in developing countries
