The right to clean water has been adopted by the United Nations as
a basic human right. Yet how such universal calls for a right to
water are understood, negotiated, experienced and struggled over
remain key challenges. The Right to Water elucidates how universal
calls for rights articulate with local historical geographical
contexts, governance, politics and social struggles, thereby
highlighting the challenges and the possibilities that exist.
Bringing together a unique range of academics, policy-makers and
activists, the book analyzes how struggles for the right to water
have attempted to translate moral arguments over access to safe
water into workable claims. This book is an intervention at a
crucial moment into the shape and future direction of struggles for
the right to water in a range of political, geographic and
socio-economics contexts, seeking to be pro-active in defining what
this struggle could mean and how it might be taken forward in a far
broader transformative politics. The Right to Water engages with a
range of approaches that focus on philosophical, legal and
governance perspectives before seeking to apply these more abstract
arguments to an array of concrete struggles and case studies. In so
doing, the book builds on empirical examples from Africa, Asia,
Oceania, Latin America, the Middle East, North America and the
European Union.
Scholarship on the right to water has proliferated in interesting
and unexpected ways in recent years. This book broadens existing
discussions on the right to water in order to shed critical light
on the pathways, pitfalls, prospects, and constraints that exist in
achieving global goals, as well as advancing debates around water
governance and water justice. The book shows how both discourses
and struggles around the right to water have opened new
perspectives, and possibilities in water governance, fostering new
collective and moral claims for water justice, while effecting
changes in laws and policies around the world. In light of the 2010
UN ratification on the human right to water and sanitation, shifts
have taken place in policy, legal frameworks, local implementation,
as well as in national dialogues. Chapters in the book illustrate
the novel ways in which the right to water has been taken up in
locations drawn globally, highlighting the material politics that
are enabled and negotiated through this framework in order to
address ongoing water insecurities. This book reflects the urgent
need to take stock of debates in light of new concerns around
post-neoliberal political developments, the challenges of the
Anthropocene and climate change, the transition from the Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs) to the Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs), as well as the mobilizations around the right to water in
the global North. This book is essential reading for scholars and
students of water governance, environmental policy, politics,
geography, and law. It will be of great interest to policymakers
and practitioners working in water governance, as well as the human
right to water and sanitation.
This publication addresses the global challenges of food and water
security in a rapidly changing and complex world. The essays
highlight the links between bio-physical and socio-cultural
processes, making connections between local and global scales, and
focusing on the everyday practices of eating and drinking,
essential for human survival. Written by international experts,
each contribution is research-based but accessible to the general
public.

Modified release dosage forms offer definite advantages over
conventional release formulation of the same drug.The three-layered
matrix system overcomes inherent disadvantages of non-linearity
associated with the core, covered by two additional layers, each
with different rates of swelling, gelling and erosion, is what
accounts for the rate of drug release. When the tablet is first
swallowed, the drug concentration is high but the surface area is
small. As time goes by and the core swells, the surface area
expands to compensate for the decrease in drug concentration. Based
on these theoretical considerations the three-layered tablets were
designed and Diclofenac Sodium, a weakly acidic drug and widely
used NSAID, was taken as the model drug to evaluate the comparative
release characteristics from different polymer matrices with
different amount with the variation in the outer layers as well as
in the core.Then the percent release from different batches of
Diclofenac Sodium was plotted against time to get the zero order
plots. In the zero order plots no true straight lines were obtained
but statistically significant differences were found among the
release profile.
