Water Governance for Sustainable Development by Stefano Farolfi
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.
'This book eloquently demonstrates the various tasks institutions have in improving water management, by taking a wider definition of what institutions may consist ofHaving multi-sectoral and international case analyses, the book appeals to a wide range of readership. In particular, introducing several approaches to be considered by readers makes the book much more handy to those who are interested in the topics and their implementation.' Ariel Dinar, Agriculture and Rural Development Dept, World Bank 'This authoritative volume shows that, in recent years, water policies, institutions and governance have shifted from technical, quantitative, supply-driven, centrally controlled management to more demand-sensitive, qualitative, decentralized, participatory, integrated approaches.'
