For millennia, we have perceived it as abundant and easily accessible. But water shortages are fast becoming a persistent reality for all nations, rich and poor. With demand outstripping supply, a global water crisis is imminent.   In this trenchant critique of current water policies and practices, Edward Barbier argues that our water crisis is as much a failure of water management as it is a result of scarcity. Outdated governance structures and institutions, combined with continual underpricing, have perpetuated the overuse and undervaluation of water and disincentivized much-needed technological innovation. As a result "water grabbing" is on the rise, and cooperation to resolve these disputes is increasingly fraught. Barbier draws on evidence from countries across the globe to show the scale of the problem, and outlines the policy and management solutions needed to avert this crisis. 410 0$aYale scholarship online. 606 $aWater resources development 606 $aWater-supply$xInternational cooperation 606 $aWater-supply$xManagement 615 0$aWater resources development. 615 0$aWater-supply$xInternational cooperation. 615 0$aWater-supply$xManagement. 676 $a333.91 700 $aBarbier$b Ed$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0189477 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824715703321 996 $aThe water paradox$93929431 997 $aUNINA
