Description
Control of freshwater is a complex issue that affects us all. The availability and safety of water are crucial for human life, yet access to clean water remains a struggle for many people around the world.
The provision and management of freshwater resources are often fraught with conflict, driven by factors such as climate change, urbanization, pollution, and privatization. As technological advances expand supply, they also carry hidden risks for minority groups. Who bears responsibility for managing the impacts of dams funded by global aid organizations?
This book explores the complexity of future challenges in freshwater management, arguing that nations must work together to balance everyone's water needs with fair and consistent criteria to promote available supply while reducing pollution.
