Those who control water, hold power. Complicating matters, water is
a flow resource; constantly changing states between liquid, solid,
and gas, being incorporated into living and non-living things and
crossing boundaries of all kinds. As a result, water governance has
much to do with the question of boundaries and scale: who is in and
who is out of decision-making structures? Which of the many
boundaries that water crosses should be used for decision-making
related to its governance? Recently, efforts to understand the
relationship between water and political boundaries have come to
the fore of water governance debates: how and why does water
governance fragment across sectors and governmental departments?
How can we govern shared waters more effectively? How do politics
and power play out in water governance? This book brings together
and connects the work of scholars to engage with such questions.
The introduction of scalar debates into water governance
discussions is a significant advancement of both governance studies
and scalar theory: decision-making with respect to water is often,
implicitly, a decision about scale and its related politics. When
water managers or scholars explore municipal water service delivery
systems, argue that integrated approaches to salmon stewardship are
critical to their survival, query the damming of a river to provide
power to another region and investigate access to potable water -
they are deliberating the politics of scale. Accessible, engaging,
and informative, the volume offers an overview and advancement of
both scalar and governance studies while examining practical
solutions to the challenges of water governance.
