What is the one thing that no one can do without? Water. Where
water crosses boundaries - be they economic, legal, political or
cultural - the stage is set for disputes between different users
trying to safeguard access to a vital resource, while protecting
the natural environment. Without strategies to anticipate, address,
and mediate between competing users, intractable water conflicts
are likely to become more frequent, more intense, and more
disruptive around the world. In this book, Delli Priscoli and Wolf
investigate the dynamics of water conflict and conflict resolution,
from the local to the international. They explore the inexorable
links between three facets of conflict management and
transformation: Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), public
participation, and institutional capacity. This practical guide
will be invaluable to water management professionals, as well as to
researchers and students in engineering, economics, geography,
geology, and political science who are involved in any aspects of
water management.
