Water justice is becoming an ever-more pressing issue in times of
increasing water-based inequalities and discrimination. Megacities,
mining, forestry, industry and agribusiness claim an increasingly
large share of available surface and groundwater reserves. Water
grabbing and pollution generate poverty and endanger ecosystems'
sustainability. Beyond large, visible injustices, the book also
unfolds the many 'hidden' water world injustices, subtly masked as
'rational', 'equitable' and 'democratic'. It features critical
conceptual approaches, including analysis of environmental, social,
cultural and legal issues surrounding the distribution and
management of water. Illustrated with case studies of historic and
contemporary water injustices and contestations around the world,
the book lays new ground for challenging current water governance
forms and unequal power structures. It also provides inspiration
for building alternative water realities. With contributions from
renowned scholars, this is an indispensable book for students,
researchers and policymakers interested in water governance,
environmental policy and law, and political geography.
