Managing water resources in the West under conditions of climate uncertainty : proceedings of a colloquium, November 14-16, 1990, Scottsdale, Arizona /
The question of whether the earth's climate is changing in some significant human-induced way remains a matter of much debate. But the fact that climate is variable over time is well known. These two elements of climatic uncertainty affect water resources planning and management in the American...
