The vocabulary and discourse of water resource management have
expanded vastly in recent years to include an array of new concepts
and terminology, such as water security, water productivity,
virtual water and water governance. While the new conceptual lenses
may generate insights that improve responses to the world's water
challenges, their practical use is often encumbered by ambiguity
and confusion. This book applies critical scrutiny to a prominent
set of new but widely used terms, in order to clarify their
meanings and improve the basis on which we identify and tackle the
world's water challenges. More specifically, the book takes stock
of what several of the more prominent new terms mean, reviews
variation in interpretation, explores how they are measured, and
discusses their respective added value. It makes many implicit
differences between terms explicit and aids understanding and use
of these terms by both students and professionals. At the same
time, it does not ignore the legitimately contested nature of some
concepts. Further, the book enables greater precision on the
interpretational options for the various terms, and for the value
that they add to water policy and its implementation.
