Despite pressures on this crucial resource, people often have little or no opportunity to participate in watershed decisions that affect them, particularly when they live along international watercourses. The United Nations has identified the rising demand for water as one of four major factors that will threaten human and ecological health for at least a generation.Over the coming decade, governments throughout the world will struggle to manage water in ways that are efficient, equitable, and environmentally sound. 606 $aWater resources development$xManagement$xCitizen participation 606 $aWater resources development$xInternational cooperation 606 $aWater-supply$xManagement$xCitizen participation 606 $aWatershed management$xCitizen participation 606 $aWater quality management$xCitizen participation 606 $aFresh water 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWater resources development$xManagement$xCitizen participation. 615 0$aWater resources development$xInternational cooperation. 615 0$aWater-supply$xManagement$xCitizen participation. 615 0$aWatershed management$xCitizen participation. 615 0$aWater quality management$xCitizen participation. 615 0$aFresh water. 676 $a333.91 701 $aBruch$b Carl$g(Carl E.),$f1967-$0261529 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450189503321 996 $aPublic participation in the governance of international freshwater resources$92183814 997 $aUNINA
