Efforts to
understand and manage water resources have generated a vast literature of books
and journals devoted to the topic’s many facets, from the underlying science of
hydrology and engineering options available, to the geopolitical problems
generated by water scarcity and the adaptive strategies needed to tackle floods
and pollution. The literature has demonstrated many different ways of
organising our thinking on water. While some take a global perspective, others
focus on key regional problem areas, while yet others emphasise distinct water
use sectors. To this burgeoning print literature may be added a rapidly growing
number of web pages through which national and international agencies and
advocacy organisations present current, or at least recent, information on
water-resource issues and priorities. It is perhaps a wonder, then, that we
ever considered starting this book, and we could be excused for being intimidated
by both the volume of existing work and by the challenge of addressing ‘water
resources’ coherently, never mind adding the complication of using a
development perspective to organise our analysis. We were encouraged by four
factors.

factors.
First, and
undeniably, water is an important topic, not just because it is vital for life,
but because it is important in the development of society. This can be
demonstrated historically, from the early water-based cultures along the
Tigris, Euphrates and the Nile, to the construction of the Dutch polders or the
Hoover Dam in the USA.

Second,
there is a widely held perception of ‘water in crisis’, an impending Armageddon
that threatens an outbreak of water wars as scarcity becomes more acute. While
acknowledging the many parts of the world where lack of access to water is a
key constraint on human activity or wellbeing, we need to recognise the many
examples where this is not the case or where people have successfully adapted
and innovated.

A third
motivation for this book was to assess critically the extent to which paths
followed in the past to tackle water-resource problems in today’s ‘developed’
economies may not be suitable for developing countries today. said by the
