Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Guerres de l’eau, rareté de l’eau, gestion de l’eau. Qu’elle soit potable, agricole ou destinée à un usage industriel ou de loisir, l’eau est devenue l’objet de vives convoitises et de houleux débats quant aux modalités de son partage et de sa distribution. La question, d’abord de l’accès à l’eau, considérée comme une ressource essentielle, puis du partage de l’eau, et enfin surtout de la conflictualité potentielle de partages de plus en plus difficiles, a récemment pris le devant de la scène. L’eau sera-t-elle l’enjeu des conflits du xxie siècle ? Faut-il prêter attention aux prédictions alarmistes qui annoncent la multiplication des crises dans de nombreuses régions du globe, ou faut-il voir dans ces discours une version contemporaine des peurs millénaristes ? Des solutions modernes, comme des technologies plus adaptées ou la mise en place de mécanismes de marché, pourront-elles résoudre ces crises prochainement ? Comment les mécanismes de distribution de la ressource établis par les sociétés humaines en viennent-ils à s’enrayer aujourd’hui ? Quelles solutions se dessinent pour favoriser la nécessaire coopération dans ce domaine ? À partir de cas issus de plusieurs continents, les auteurs examinent les facteurs liés à l’accessibilité à l’eau ainsi que les principaux enjeux de la répartition, de la distribution et des choix relatifs à l’usage de cette importante ressource.
Download or read book Globalized Water written by Graciela Schneier-Madanes and published by Springer Science & Business. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globalized Water presents a compilation of voices that forms a unique scientific exploration of contemporary water management models and governance issues. The book describes the water paradox—how a local resource has become a global product—and the implications of this in how we identify challenges and make policy in the water sector. Over the last 20 years, the foundations of local and national water systems have been rocked by a wave of changes. The authors in this book, experts in a wide range of disciplines, address the resulting debates and issues: water as a commodity and patrimony, technological rent, liberalization and privatization, the continuing evolution of water management and policy at the European level, decision making and stakeholder participation, conflict and consensus, and the inevitable growth of counterpowers at the local and international levels, promoted by the advocates of sustainable development. The selected case studies are from Europe (primarily France but also Spain, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Portugal), Latin America (Argentina, Bolivia), the United States, Lebanon, and India. From this diverse collection of comparative perspectives and research methods, Globalized Water seeks to advance interdisciplinary research, contributing to a new and dynamic role for social sciences and governance on water.

Download or read book Water Drops written by Peter E. Black and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-08-14 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this engaging book, hydrologist Peter E. Black celebrates the wonder of our planet's most precious natural resource. In these brief, nontechnical essays, readers are introduced to water's unique scientific properties, the vital role it plays in Earth's ecology and ecosystems, and the impact it has had on human history, culture, art, law, and economics. At turns educational and inspirational, humorous and reverent, the book also sounds a cautionary note: water is abundant, but it is also scarce. Only three percent of the earth's water is fresh, and only a small percentage of that fresh water is available for human use and consumption. Therefore, it must be managed carefully, and understood, lest we find ourselves with too little, too late.

Download or read book Water Imagery in George Sand s Work written by Françoise Ghillebaert and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-01-14 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays highlights the importance of water imagery in the work of the renowned nineteenth-century French female author George Sand. It provides a complex picture of the polyvalent presence of water in Sand’s work that encompasses life and death imagery, ecocriticism, fluid kinship, homosocial ties, and artistic creativity. Drawing on Gaston Bachelard’s premise that the substance of water carries deep meaning, the articles in this volume explore the element of water and its symbolism in a selection of George Sand’s writings and art work, from her most famous novels (Indiana, Lélia, and Consuelo) to her later works, short stories, plays, and autobiographical writing (Teverino, Jean de la Roche, Les Maîtres sonneurs, La Reine Coax, L’Homme de neige, Le Drac, Un Hiver à Majorque, Marianne), and dendrite paintings.

Download or read book River Contracts and Integrated Water Management in Europe written by Maria Laura Scaduto and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-08-08 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to stimulate new thinking on the roles of river contracts in the protection and management of hydrographic resources and ecosystems and in the sustainable development of dependent territories and communities. Up-to-date information is provided on a range of topics relating to river contracts, including their relevance to implementation of the EU Water Framework Directive on integrated river basin management. The importance of river contracts for innovation in territorial planning and governance is explored with the aid of comparative analysis between France and Italy that encompasses water management policies, legislative frameworks, contents and procedures, and stakeholder rules and participation. This analysis is supported by enlightening case studies in urbanized and rural contexts within the two countries. The book will be of high interest for all who wish to understand the potential of river contracts to create innovative forums for dialogue and knowledge sharing between public/private stakeholders and local communities and to prompt a new form of governance of river ecosystems and territories that is compliant with the subsidiarity principle.

Book excerpt: Autour de la Méditerranée, dans des régions marquées par des ressources limitées, l'eau potable est une ressource indispensable et un élément de base. Sa présence a souvent conditionné l'installation d'un peuplement humain et donné naissance à des croyances et des rites destinés à la protéger et à la conserver. Aussi, après deux volumes consacrés à des questions d'histoire des techniques et des politiques hydrauliques, le réseau de chercheurs HYDROMED, créé par une équipe d'Aix-Marseille Université en 2015, entend-il explorer les voies religieuses et symboliques des eaux, sources et fleuves, dans les mentalités de la Méditerranée du premier millénaire avant notre ère.0Fleuves, sources et fontaines sont couramment associés à des traditions mythiques et étiologiques par le biais de récits aussi bien que par des pratiques rituelles et votives. Croisant approches géologiques et usages culturels ou religieux des points de jaillissement des eaux, l'objectif de l'ouvrage est d'étudier les processus de transformation des paysages naturels autour des sources et des rivières (des grottes naturelles au développement de fontaines bâties ou à la création pure et simple de grottes artificielles).0Eau nourricière, délassante, ou guérisseuse, eau-spectacle... Comment a-t-elle été parfois monumentalisée, mise en scène, voire sacralisée ? Dans quelle mesure a-t-elle été considérée comme la base de récits cosmologiques, étiologiques et mythologiques ou comme un miroir de l'identité collective d'un groupe ? Autant de questions auxquelles cherchent à répondre les auteurs de cet ouvrage collectif à partir d'études de cas répartis sur l'ensemble de la Méditerranée.
