Providing an extensive comparative and international study of water
innovations and the issues that arise in their implementation,
David Lewis Feldman analyses the technical, economic, health and
environmental impacts of water innovations and their policy
implications. Discussing desalination, rainwater harvesting,
wastewater reuse, and demand-side innovations as well as emerging
cyber-infrastructure issues, The Governance of Water Innovations
analyses the historical and contemporary challenges involved in
water innovations. With a global reach, exploring water innovations
across The Americas, Asia, Australia and Europe, chapters consider
potential areas of contention involving land use, aesthetics,
recreational impacts, user costs, and environmental quality.
Illuminating the importance of these challenges and determining the
most effective and equitable ways of meeting them, Feldman advises
how innovations should be deployed, governed and implemented
democratically in ways that harbour public acceptance, trust, and
engagement for a water resilient future. A comprehensive study of
the governance of water innovations, this book will prove
invaluable to students and scholars of public policy, environmental
and water studies and geopolitics. With its pioneering analysis of
adaptive governance, it will also prove an essential reference
guide to practitioners, professionals and policymakers working in
water governance and management, including water agency officials
and water resource legislators.
