Opis

Good management of water resources has proven, in practice, as difficult to achieve as it is eagerly sought. This book examines the changes in governance, institutions, economics and policies of water. It demonstrates that the new policies and legal frameworks have been difficult to implement and often fall short of initial expectations.
