This book, which was first published in 1992 and then updated in
2007, provides a tool for dealing with the legal and institutional
aspects of water resources management within national contexts and
at the level of transboundary water resources. Like its two
previous editions, it seeks to cover all aspects that need to be
known in order to attain good water governance, but it provides
updates concerning developments since 2007. These relate, inter
alia, to the following: - the "greening" of water law, which calls
for the progressive integration of environmental law principles
into domestic and international water law; - the adoption, by the
International Law Commission in 2008, of the Draft Articles on the
Law of Transboundary Aquifers, and subsequent developments; - the
emergence of the right to water as a self-standing human right; -
the adoption of domestic water laws supporting integrated water
resources management (IWRM) and enhanced public participation in
planning and decision making; - the integration into these laws of
tools facilitating adaptive water management as a response to
climate variability and change; - progress in the implementation of
EU law; - recent international agreements and judicial decisions; -
efforts of regional organizations other than the EU to steer
cooperation in the management of transboundary water resources and
the harmonization of national laws; - institutional mechanisms for
the management of transboundary water resources (surface and
underground). Unique in its scope and nature, the book identifies
the legal and institutional issues arising in connection with water
resources management and provides guidelines for possible solutions
in a manner accessible to a wide range of readers. Thus, it is a
useful reference for lawyers and non-lawyers - engineers,
hydrologists, hydrogeologists, economists, sociologists - dealing
with water resources within government institutions, river basin
commissions, international organizations, financing institutions
and academic institutions, among other things, and also for
students of disciplines related to water resources.
