Current approaches tend to rely on policies crafted at the state or national level, which on their own have proved insufficient to arrest water scarcity. To be durable and effective, water plans must be informed by the culture, economics, and varied needs of affected community members. International water expert Brian Richter argues that sustainable water sharing in the twenty-first century can only happen through open, democratic dialogue and local collective action.In Chasing Water, Richter tells a cohesive and complete story of water scarcity: where it is happening, what is causing it, and how it can be addressed. Through his engaging and nontechnical style, he strips away the complexities of water management to its bare essentials, providing information and practical examples that will empower community leaders, activists, and students to develop successful and long-lasting water programs. Chasing Water will provide local stakeholders with the tools and knowledge they need to take an active role in the watershed-based planning and implementation that are essential for sustainable water "--$$cProvided by publisher. 000704719 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000704719 650_0 $$aWater-supply$$xGovernment policy. 000704719 650_0 $$aWater-supply$$xInternational cooperation. 000704719 650_0 $$aWater resources development$$xGovernment policy. 000704719 650_0 $$aWater resources development$$xInternational cooperation. 000704719 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aRichter, Brian D.$$tChasing water.$$z9781610915366$$w(DLC) 2013043021$$w(OCoLC)866615562 000704719 85280 $$bebk$$hSpringerLink 000704719 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.5822/978-1-61091-537-3$$zOnline Access 000704719 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:704719$$pGLOBAL_SET 000704719 980__ $$aEBOOK 000704719 980__ $$aBIB 000704719 982__ $$aEbook 000704719 983__ $$aOnline 000704719 994__ $$a92$$bISE
