Abstract | This book examines some of the successes and failures of actual implementation of modern water policy options in the light of the principles and concepts which have emerged from the Rio earth Summit, the Dublin Statement and other international consensus. It attempts to share practical experience at all levels: local, regional, national and international, and emphasises the cooperation between different professions and sectors that must take place to ensure adequate supplies of fresh water in the future. The book may be of use to water and irrigation engineers and managers; academic researchers in water and related sectors; planners, economists, lawyers and policy makers in river authorities and government departments. The publication forms the proceedings of the 1996 International Conference on Water Policy: Allocation and management in practice, held at Cranfield University, United Kingdom. |
