Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro recoge algunos de los resultados de un proyecto de investigación sobre la gestión del agua por cuencas fluviales en España. Esta creación española es una aportación mundial de enorme alcance. En primer lugar se analiza el concepto de cuenca fluvial en el Derecho Internacional. Los temas del agua para el consumo humano se mueven de manera habitual entre las tendencias hacia el conflicto y las tendencias hacia la cooperación. La evolución en las últimas décadas indica que las respuestas conflictivas dan paso, de manera creciente, a soluciones cooperativas basadas en elementos jurídicos. Entre estos, el concepto de cuenca fluvial desempeña un papel básico, para las más de 250 cuencas fluviales internacionales que hay en el planeta. En segundo lugar se aborda un estudio minucioso de los aspectos ambientales de los trasvases entre las cuencas fluviales en el que destaca si la Ley del Plan Hidrológico Nacional y la normativa de evaluación ambiental estratégica y la de evaluación de impacto ambiental exigen realizar una previsión de los efectos en el entorno de los trasvases en todas sus fases de planificación, programación y proyectos. Posteriormente se explican los fallos de mercado y los instrumentos de intervención pública para la protección de las aguas (los tributos ambientales). Se analizan las competencias estatales, autonómicas y locales, la clasificación de los tributos que gravan las aguas, entre ellos los diversos impuestos, tasas, contribuciones especiales y cánones. A continuación se estudia la necesidad de un renovado proyecto AGUA como estímulo para el crecimiento de la economía española. Se parte de la adversa base natural de la economía española y el continuo esfuerzo intergeneracional para doblegarla, se aborda la relación de las cuencas fluviales excedentarias con las deficitarias y el reparto de los beneficios y por último se propone un nuevo proyecto estratégico: árboles y agua. Por último, se estudia cómo la adhesión de España a la Convención de Nueva York podría influir en el régimen de caudales que recoge el vigente Convenio de Albufeira, que regula las cuencas hidrográficas hispano-portuguesas.
Download or read book Frontiers Law Theory and Cases written by Dimitri Endrizzi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-03-01 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on current frontier-related issues such as humanitarian crises, economic crises, discrimination of migrants in certain countries, different typologies of borders such as land, maritime, air, space, and even cyberspace borders, and environmental protection of water resources at borders. It addresses legal and theoretical considerations and presents empirical cases showing the manifestations of the concept in the real world and its dynamics. Without claiming to exhaust the debate on frontiers, especially given the breadth of the subject and the large number of viewpoints from which the phenomenon can be examined, this book intends to be a helpful source of insights for academics, university students, and others who wish to explore the complex and multifaceted worlds that emerge, particularly in a globalized society, from the interaction between the various actors and scenarios that shape the reality of frontiers.
Download or read book Water Technology and the Nation State written by Filippo Menga and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-15 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just as space, territory and society can be socially and politically co-constructed, so can water, and thus the construction of hydraulic infrastructures can be mobilised by politicians to consolidate their grip on power while nurturing their own vision of what the nation is or should become. This book delves into the complex and often hidden connection between water, technological advancement and the nation-state, addressing two major questions. First, the arguments deployed consider how water as a resource can be ideologically constructed, imagined and framed to create and reinforce a national identity, and secondly, how the idea of a nation-state can and is materially co-constituted out of the material infrastructure through which water is harnessed and channelled. The book consists of 13 theoretical and empirical interdisciplinary chapters covering four continents. The case studies cover a diverse range of geographical areas and countries, including China, Cyprus, Egypt, Ethiopia, France, Nepal and Thailand, and together illustrate that the meaning and rationale behind water infrastructures goes well beyond the control and regulation of water resources, as it becomes central in the unfolding of power dynamics across time and space.
Download or read book Water Markets for the 21st Century written by K. William Easter and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-07-30 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book evaluates the history, the present and the future of water markets on 5 continents, beginning with the institutional underpinnings of water markets and factors influencing transaction costs. The book examines markets in seven countries and three different U.S. states, ranging from village-level water markets in Oman to basin wide formal water markets in Australia's Murray-Darling River basin. Introductory chapters on the background of water markets and on transaction costs and policy design are followed by chapter length discussion of water markets as an adaptive response to climate change and of supply reliability in a changing climate. Case studies describe a variety of facets of the design and function of markets around the world: California, Chile, Spain, Oman, Australia, Canada, India and China. In analyzing these real-world examples of markets, the contributors explore water rights and trading of rights between agricultural and urban sectors and the principles and function of option markets. They discuss different sized approaches, from large scale, ministry-level administration of markets to informal arrangements among farmers in the same village, or groups of villages which allocate water without large investment in management and infrastructure. Discussion includes questions of why water market practices have not expanded more rapidly in arid places. The book discusses mechanisms for resolving conflicts between water rights holders as well as between water right holders and third parties impacted by water trades and whether or not public ownership of water rights or use rights should trump private ownership and under what condition. Also covered are new and expanding categories of water use, beyond human consumption, agriculture and industry to new technologies ranging from extracting natural gas from shale to producing biofuels. The book concludes with suggestions for future water markets and offers a realistic picture of how they might change water use and distribution practices going forward.

Download or read book Water and Society IV written by C.A. Brebbia and published by WIT Press. This book was released on 2017-08-30 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents papers from the 4th International Conference on Water & Society. The focus of the conference was to encourage trans-disciplinary communication on issues related to the nature of water, and its use and exploitation by society. The valuable research contained in this book demonstrates the need to bridge the gap between specialists in physical sciences, biology, environmental sciences and health. The availability of clean and inexpensive water can no longer be taken for granted as the need for water continues to increase due a growing global population. Heavy water consumers such as agriculture and industry often contribute to its contamination. Water distribution networks in urban areas and soiled water collection systems, present serious problems as well as the need to maintain ageing infrastructures. Possible technologically solutions, such as desalination or pumping systems are energy demanding but, as costs rise, the techniques currently developed may need to be re-assessed. The following list covers some of the subjects included in this book: Water resources management; Agribusiness; Water as a human right; Water quality; Water resources contamination; Sanitation and health; Water and disaster management; Policy and legislation; Future water demands; Irrigation and water management; Management of catchments; Groundwater management and conservation.

Download or read book The Role of Government in Water Markets written by Vanessa Casado-Perez and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-19 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While water is an increasingly scarce resource, most existing methods to allocate it are neither economically nor environmentally efficient. In these circumstances, water markets offer developed countries a form of regulatory response capable of overcoming many of the shortcomings of current water management. The debate on water markets is, however, a polarized one. This is mostly a result of the misunderstanding of the roles played by governments in water markets. Proponents mistakenly portrayed them as leaving governments, for the most part, out of the picture. Opponents, in turn, understand commodification of water and administration by public agencies as incompatible. Casado Pérez argues that both sides of the debate overlook that water markets require a deeper and more varied governmental intervention than markets for other goods. Drawing on economic theories of regulation based on market failure, she explains the different roles governments should play to ensure a well-functioning water market, and concludes that only the visible hand of governments can ensure the success of water markets. Casado Pérez proves her case by examining case studies of California and Spain to assess the success of their water markets. She explores why water markets were more extensively institutionalized in California than in Spain in the first ten years since their introduction and how the role of governments in each case study impacted water market operation. This unique analysis of governmental roles in water markets, alongside qualitative studies of California and Spain, offers valuable guidance to understand environmental markets and to face the challenges presented by water management in regions with periodical droughts.

Download or read book Ecology of Threatened Semi Arid Wetlands written by Salvador Sánchez-Carrillo and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-04-23 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Playing a critical role in both influencing climate change and mitigating its impacts, the world’s diverse wetlands have become one of the world’s most threatened ecosystems as unsustainable land-use practices coupled with irrational use of water have already resulted in large-scale wetlands loss and degradation. To develop sound management and conservation schemes to assure wetlands sustainability in the long term requires long-term understanding of wetlands ecology. Yet until now, long-term interdisciplinary research into these systems has been limited to only a few systems from tropical or temperate climates (such as the Florida Everglades, and Czech biosphere reserve). This new book adds to the existing wetlands literature, providing a unique reference in basic and applied Mediterranean wetland ecology, based on results from long-term interdisciplinary research at the RAMSAR and UNESCO Biosphere site, of Las Tablas de Daimiel, Spain. Dating back to the early 1990s the research highlights changes in the biotic and abiotic environment in response to cumulative anthropogenic stressors, and provide guidance on applying this understand to sound management and conservation. With particular relevance to researchers dealing with semi-arid wetlands in the Mediterranean and elsewhere, as well as to resource managers, the book discusses the complexity of the interacting abiotic and biotic environment across different spatial and temporal scales and across various levels of biological hierarchy is highlighted, and reveals how management based on poor knowledge causes more damage than repair. The book will be of interest to researchers interested in freshwater ecology, hydrobotany, hydrology, geology, biogeochemistry, landscape ecology and environmental management.
