DESCRIPTION
More than a billion people lack sufficient clean water to meet their basic needs; 27 nations don't have enough water and another 16 are 'water stressed'. the UN predicts that rising demand for water will threaten human and ecological health over the next generation. As public health, development, economics and nature suffer, governments are becoming more aware of the need to ensure access to clean water. The book examines approaches and techniques for getting the public more involved in improving water resources management in order to improve decision making andproblem solving. The authros identify conventional and emerging mechanisms, approaches and practices for successfully engaging users and other stake-holders. Benefits include raising the profiles of otherwise marginalised water users andimproving their access to clean water resources on a sustainable basis.
