The key to sustainable water resources is an integrated approach. This text analyzes the issues in this crisis of management and shows how water can be used effectively and productively. More than a billion people cannot get safe drinking water; half the world's population does not have adequate sanitation; within a generation over three billion will be suffering from water stress.

The book comes with a CD ROM containing background research and scenarios.
