This is a very exciting book. Water security is a current and very
important topic, but at the same time, the term is used in many
different ways. Rather than suppressing this diversity, it is
embraced here and used as a strength to illuminate the various
possible meanings of the term - and their implications, which are
assessed in a critical way by a group of excellent authors. This
book will play a central role in the debate on water governance for
years to come.' - Dave Huitema, Netherlands Open University and
Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, the Netherlands'Water security has
risen to the top of the international agenda for policymakers and
enterprise. This comprehensive and insightful volume advances our
understanding of water security by drawing on leading researchers
from a range of disciplines - but with a common focus: identifying
pathways to adaptive governance in a context of complexity and
rapid environmental change. It provides an indispensable resource
for researchers and practitioners.' - Dustin Garrick, McMaster
University, US Water security has received increasing attention in
the scientific and public policy communities in recent years. The
Handbook on Water Security is a much-needed resource that helps the
reader navigate between the differing interpretations of water
security. It explains the various dimensions of the topic by
approaching it both conceptually and thematically, as well as in
relation to experiences in different regions of the world. The
international contributors explore the various perspectives on
water security to show that it has multiple meanings that cannot
easily be reconciled. Topics discussed include: challenges from
human security to consumerism, how trade policies can help to
achieve water security in a transboundary setting, the potential of
risk-based governance arrangements and the ecology of water
security. Scholars and postgraduate students in the social sciences
working on water-related issues will find this book to be of
substantial interest. It will strongly appeal to policymakers and
practitioners looking at the strengths and limitations of water
security. Contributors: L. Addams, J. Allouche, L.Auguste, K.
