Beschreibung
This book explains how water, electricity/power and roads are linked together within the general basket of development and how to obtain the optimum use of resources. The emphasis, nowadays, is on multipurpose activities, optimum use of resources, environmental approach, minimum use of energy. This book tries to integrate all of these, by showing the links between the different components of infrastructure and trying to model them. A very good design may fail during the implementation or operation because of bad design, but also due to inadequate attention given to the human aspects required for its operation. This book is intended for graduates or practicing professionals who are involved in the general development planning of their country/region. It creates a general awareness about what is needed to communicate with other professionals in terms of their own fields and others.
