Thomas M. Missimer has published with Springer a book on "Arid Lands Water Evaluation and Management" in the Environmental Science and Engineering series. The book constitutes the first comprehensive compilation on arid lands water management that includes all aspects of the water supply, including groundwater, surface water, desalination, and water reuse.
