Results from the research projects covered by this book, demonstrate that effective water management tools and decisions-making practices, are needed in order to complement integrated interventions for increasing the availability of supply and/or managing the growing demand for scarce water supplies. Further, the book attempts to bridge the gap between ideas and actions endorsed at the research-oriented environmental debate, and their translation into policy making structures and programs in developed and developing countries. 410 0$aEnvironment & policy ;$vv. 48. 606 $aWater resources development 606 $aWater resources development$xGovernment policy 606 $aWater-supply 606 $aWater-supply$xGovernment policy 615 0$aWater resources development. 615 0$aWater resources development$xGovernment policy. 615 0$aWater-supply. 615 0$aWater-supply$xGovernment policy. 676 $a333.91/11 701 $aKoundouri$b Phoebe$f1974-$01582279 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784501703321 996 $aCoping with water deficiency$93864533 997 $aUNINA
