Water Crises and Governance critically examines the relationship
between water crises and governance in the face of challenges to
provide water for growing human demand and environmental needs.
Water crises threaten the assumptions and accepted management
practices of water users, managers and policymakers. In developed
and developing world contexts from North America and Australasia,
to Latin America, Africa and China, existing institutions and
governance arrangements have unintentionally provoked water crises
while shaping diverse, often innovative responses to management
dilemmas. This volume brings together original field-based studies
by social scientists investigating water crises and their
implications for governance. Contributors to this collection find
that water crises degrade environments, place untenable burdens on
stakeholders, and produce or exacerbate social conflict,
undermining ecological and social conditions that sustain effective
collaboration. At the same time, water crises can promote
institutional change that "resets" governance, promoting unusual
and creative responses appropriate for local contexts. The studies
in this volume provide evidence that, while water crises pose
serious threats to environments and societies, they also provide
opportunities to learn from experience and recraft water governance
with coherent visions of more ecologically and socially sustainable
futures. This volume was originally published as a special issue of
Society & Natural Resources.
