Global Drought and Sustainability, 1st Edition, edited by Ali Fares, examines the direct connections between climate change, environmental risk, and sustainable water management. Published by Elsevier, this volume provides a structured framework for analyzing hydrologic variability across diverse geographic regions. It equips academic readers and environmental specialists with clear analytical tools for assessing long-term water availability.

The thematic coverage progresses from drought dynamics in arid zones to complex water management challenges within expanding urban environments. It details analytical strategies for evaluating ecosystem resilience while presenting established methods to mitigate the adverse effects of severe drought on human health and regional water quality.

As a key technical element, the book details artificial intelligence applications for drought prediction and impact assessment across hydrological indicators. The publication supports advanced students, university researchers, and field practitioners in environmental science, hydrology, and soil science who design sustainable resource frameworks.
