Attending water security is an important challenge and a major
systemic risk humanity faces in the years to come. This is due to
population increase, over-consumption of water, especially in
agriculture, climate change and various forms of water pollution.
The issue becomes more complicated in transboundary water
catchments that cover almost half of the world's land surface, with
about 60% of global river flow and 40% of the world's population.
Also, in many parts of the planet, like Saharan Africa, population
depends on groundwater resources located in transboundary aquifer
systems. These facts illustrate the importance of the book's
subject, which is the governance of transboundary waters, both
surface and groundwater. The book is written by two distinguished
scientists, who, having worked in various international
institutions, like UNESCO, GEF, UNEP and at the European
Commission, have both an extended expertise on how to bridge the
gap between science and political decision-making, which is the
main factor for an effective governance of water resources. What is
new in the book is the integrated analysis of transboundary
governance of both surface water and groundwater, as it occurs in
reality. In current literature, groundwater is still often missing
for the benefit of surface water or, on the contrary, it is treated
separately from surface water. The most important feature of the
book is to distinguish between the real and a "good" or an
effective transboundary water governance and to provide practical
tools, methodologies and examples for its implementation in the
field. Published timely during 2018, the book will contribute to
address successfully practical problems of governance of
transboundary waters that represent a very important part of our
precious fresh water resources.
