This book examines how governments, municipalities, corporations, and individuals find sustainable water management pathways across competing priorities of water for ecosystems, food, energy, economic growth and human consumption. It looks at the current politics and economics behind the management of our freshwater ecosystems and infrastructure and offers insightful essays that help stimulate more intense and informed debate about the subject and its need for local and international cooperation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book celebrates the 15-year anniversary of Oxford University’s MSc course in Water Science, Policy and Management.
