as 'How is water scarcity defined?', 'Are there patterns that
indicate how nations use available freshwater resources?', 'Does
water shortage make nations use water more efficiently?', and 'What
explains the variation in progress with regard to Millennium
Development Goals related to water and sanitation?'. Other
important themes examined include: * availability and use of water
resources * inequality in access to water * the role of
institutions and policies * access to water and sanitation * river
