In the context of the current financial crisis, and at a time of
deep global change, growing attention is paid to the global norms
and ethical values that could underpin future global policy. Water
is a key global resource. At the 3rd Marcelino Botin Foundation
Water Workshop, held in Santander, Spain, June 12-14, 2007, the
role of ethics in the deep roots, values, and the potential
commonalities of the global water policy were discussed.
Experts from different cultural, geographic and religious
backgrounds considered the different ethical points of view to
enhance the debate on how ethical considerations can play a more
significant and explicit role in water development and
management.
Common ground for all contributing authors was considered to be the
UN Declaration of 1948, and more specifically the basic aspects
related to water ethics: 1. the dignity of every human being and 2.
the necessity of solidarity among all human beings.
The book is divided in 8 sections which correspond to the papers
presented at the Workshop:
Some Cultural Traditional Approaches on Water Ethics
Some Ethical Aspects of New Water Management
Water as a Human Right and as an Economic Resource
Water and Poverty
Groundwater Use and its Ethical Aspects
Ethics of Water Ownership and Management
Corruption, Transparency and Participation in the Water
Sector
Ethical Aspects of Unforeseen and Extreme Events Management such as
Floods and Droughts
