Samenvatting

Water is essential-not only for life, but to modern economies across the globe, acting as an input for energy, agriculture, manufacturing, and most importantly, human consumption. Its use, however, requires major investments and innovations and while technological advancements have worked to provide solutions to challenges in many local settings, the demand for water continues to increase. The Oxford Encyclopedia of Water Resources Management and Policy is comprised of 110 scholarly articles and provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the current state of the field. The Encyclopedia explores concepts, global conditions, policy instruments and implementation, as well as special topics (such as river restoration, emerging issues, and sanitation) and works to offer a roadmap for future directions towards water use, accessibility, and equity.

This volume is organized into nineteen sections: Introduction: Eight Organizing Concepts; Economic Perspectives; Political Perspectives; Sociological and Anthropological Perspectives; Legal Perspectives; Governance, Institutional, and Planning Perspectives; Water and Climate Change Adaptation; Water Development Paths; Advances in Technologies for Water Supply Augmentation, Conservation, and Management; Water Resources Systems Analysis Tools; Economic Analysis of Water Infrastructure Investments and Policy Interventions; Stormwater Management; Groundwater Management; Water Pricing and Tariffs; Regulation; Understanding Water Use: Behavioral Approaches; Planning for Improved WASH Services; Condominial Sewer Systems; and Emerging Issues, Future Challenges.
