"The world water problems are a due to bad governance, not to
physical water scarcity." This book is inspired by this statement
and explores whether it holds in a specific country, Spain, where
climatic conditions - Spain is one of the most arid countries of
the European Union - would fully justify saying that water problems
are due to physical water scarcity. The metrification of water uses
and their monetary value is a first important step in understanding
how reallocation of water among users could help mitigating many of
current water problems in Spain. However, water reallocation among
users or from users to nature is far from simple. Initiatives
portrayed as the solution to the water governance 'jigsaw' - e.g.
water trade, improved water use efficiency, users collective
action, public participation - are not free of difficulties and
shortcomings. The book explores the growing need for maintaining
Spain's natural capital and the human component of water governance
- people's needs, wishes, (vested) interests, aspirations - that
often determine the result of decisions and, sometimes, lead water
management to a deadlock. This book takes a step forward in showing
a more complex - and also closer to reality - picture of water
governance in Spain.
