Description
Riverflow: The Right to Keep Water Instream explores the diverse ways people are using law to restore rivers and preserve their ecological integrity. From the Columbia, Colorado, Klamath and Sacramento-San Joaquin watersheds in America, to the Tweed in England and Scotland, the Fraser in Canada, the Saru in Japan, the Nile in North Africa, and the Tigris-Euphrates in the Middle East, this book documents the creative solutions being implemented.
The question is not whether we have the legal tools to protect our waterways, but rather whether we have the political will to deploy them effectively. This book sheds light on the existing laws and initiatives that can help preserve river ecosystems, and highlights the need for effective implementation.
