Contributing to the growing debate on the need for sustainable
water use and management, with concrete examples of new approaches,
concepts, arguments, methods and findings which illustrate how this
can be achieved, this book will be attractive for large groups of
readers familiar with one or more of the themes it tackles, and to
the general public. Within this context, the book makes use of many
tables and graphics, which bring the many messages together. This
approach is intended not only for those working on water matters
(e.g. bureaucrats, water managers, policymakers, journalists, etc.)
and interested in water management issues and sustainability at
large, but also for students of water management, water politics,
environmental policy, water economics, water engineering and
sustainability studies. Located at the crossroads of two key
phenomena: sustainability and water, this book brings forward
academic research and discussions on water efficiency, new
technologies, and the water-agriculture nexus. It also benefits
readers by tackling matters related to trans-boundary cooperation
on water (including rainwater) and river-basin management, pricing
issues, participatory water management, and the role of women in
sustainable water use, amongst others.
