By the year 2025 nearly 2 billion people will live in regions
experiencing absolute water scarcity. In the face of this emerging
crisis, how should the planet's water be used and managed? Current
international policy sees nature competing with human uses of
water. Hunt takes issue with this perspective. She suggests that
nature is the source of water and only by making the conservation
of nature an absolute priority will we have the water we need for
human use in future. It is essential , therefore, to manage water
in ways that maintain the water cycle and the ecosystems that
support it. This book looks at the complexity of the problem. It
provides a wide array of ideas, information, case studies and
ecological knowledge - often from remote corners of the developing
world -- that could provide an alternative vision for water use and
management at this critical time. Essential and compelling reading
for students on courses related to water resource management and
development; water managers and decision makers, and
non-specialists with an interest in global water issues.
