Let's pump money in the water sector!; Introduction; Today's four major challengesSuggested actions to improve the situationIf water resources are to be distributed efficiently, equitably and cost-effectively in this rapidly changing world, then it is clear that current water management practices are no longer feasible. Innovative approaches are required to meet the increasing water demands of a growing world population and economy and the needs of the ecosystems supporting them. New approaches have to be employed at global, national and local levels. In Rethinking Water Management, a new generation of water experts from around the world examine the critical challenges confronting the water profession, including raWater-supplyManagementWater resources developmentGovernment policyWater-supplyManagementInternational cooperationElectronic books.Water-supplyManagement.Water resources developmentGovernment policy.Water-supplyManagementInternational cooperation.333.91Figueres Caroline945577Rockstrom Johan944030Tortajada Cecilia922147MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910452747803321Rethinking water management2135346UNINA
