Water Supply in Emergency Situations 

This book reflects the outcome of a three day NATO Advanced Workshop entitled ‘Supply of Water to Cities in Emergency Situations.’ Some 35 experts from 14 countries from Europe, the Middle East and Asia assembled in Tel-Aviv for this event. It illuminates a broad spectrum of problems and concerns to the orderly water supply ranging from floods to a surprisingly low concern related to intentional terror-related threats.
