Book Metropolitan Water Use Conflicts In Asia And The Pacific

Download or read book Metropolitan Water Use Conflicts In Asia And The Pacific written by James E. Nickum and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-03-12 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Asia is the least urbanized continent, it contains half of the world’s megacities and many of the world’s fastest-growing economies. Urban growth is already stressing local water supplies and causing intense conflict among water users—between haves and have-nots in urban areas as well as between farmers and fishers outside the cities. In addition, concern is growing over the depletion and degradation of water sources and over the impact of water policies and patterns of water use on the natural environment. From the perspective of the maturing metropolitan water economy, the contributors to this volume consider the problems of urban water management in the region. They focus on the institutional and policy dimensions of conflict and seek to provide a range of viable options for reducing the growing frictions among water users. Eight specific case studies of urban areas in Asia and the Pacific span a wide range of economic levels of development, physical settings, and hydrological conditions. The book will be of interest to scholars and policymakers concerned with issues of water and environmental policy, urban management, and resource conflict in general.

Book Building a New Vision for the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California

Download or read book Building a New Vision for the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California written by and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD) is currently reevaluating its vision for its role in the Southern California water industry. This vision is about how water is priced and allocated in Southern California. It is about the set of policies and programs that determine infrastructure investments and how they are paid for. And, perhaps most fundamentally, it is about the division of responsibilities between MWD and the private and other public agencies involved in importing, storing, treating and distributing water in Southern California. This paper identifies the key issues that such a vision must address and explores a range of policy options for each. It's goal is to help the MWD board and other stakeholders more effectively develop, discuss, and evaluate alternative visions. The analysis draws on over 100 in-person and telephone interviews with a broad range of individuals and organizations. The perspectives represented include MWD directors, MWD staff, staff of MWD member agencies, agriculture, private water suppliers, environmental groups, the financial and business community, California legislators, state and federal agencies involved in water issues, and water policy experts. The interviews were conducted between July and September 1998 by staff from RAND, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Bookman-Edmonston Engineering, Psomas, and The Solis Group. This work is funded by MWD.

Book Scalar Mismatches in Metropolitan Water Governance

Download or read book Scalar Mismatches in Metropolitan Water Governance written by Francine van den Brandeler and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-08-25 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book provides insights into the particular nature of water-related challenges in metropolitan regions of the Global South and the “scalar mismatches” that prevent their sustainable and inclusive development. It argues for the adoption of a metropolitan water governance approach to assess these challenges, including the drivers and institutions that shape these, and the policy instruments at river basin and urban scales that aim to address these. The cases of Mexico City and São Paulo, as two mega-cities with a wide ranging of water-related challenges, present lessons to other fast growing urban agglomerations on the variety of possible responses as well as obstacles to their effectiveness that receive little attention.
