Globalized Water
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 ...
Saline and Alkaline Soils in Latin America
This book provides the first comprehensive overview of saline and alkaline soils in Latin America, known for having one of the most extensive surface of salt-affected soils in the world. It is organized along two main axes: soils and vegetation. The book discusses the occurrence of such soils in the region, focusing mainly in management strategies for their sustainable use, and it presents accounts of natural vegetation and crops in the various environments of the region. Social impacts of such conditions and ongoing projects to overcome them are considered. Likewise, the book highlights physiological mechanisms that are responsible for the negative effects these soils exert on crops and forest resources and determine vegetation distribution in them. Plant breeding challenges and new perspectives for such environments are discussed. Technologies such as irrigation and drainage are included. The readership includes soil and plant scientists, as well as policy makers.
Lecturas de derecho de aguas. El derecho de aguas en Latinoamérica y Europa
No es exagerado afirmar que el derecho de aguas adquirió vida propia respecto de las antiguas categorías del derecho administrativo, en particular la del dominio público, que hoy se muestra desueta y poco actual para responder a las necesidades de protección de los recursos hídricos, pero que se resiste a desaparecer. Parece que la ambientalización del derecho de aguas ha ido en detrimento de su demanialización. Sin embargo, no se puede negar la importante relación entre el derecho de aguas y el de los bienes públicos. Con este libro de investigación los miembros de la Red Internacional de Bienes Públicos quieren aportar, desde el derecho administrativo y, en particular, desde Los bienes públicos, una visión original de las transformaciones recientes del derecho de aguas y su incidencia en los países objeto de análisis.
