Regulatory Frameworks for Water Resources Management
This title examines how regulatory frameworks have addressed the various basic issues related to water resources management, and provides a comparative analysis of those issues. It elicits and discusses what it considers are the essential elements for a regulatory framework for water resources management, and identifies some emerging trends.
Groundwater
"Water is becoming an increasingly scarce resource for most of the world's citizens. The current trends indicate that the overall situation is likely to deteriorate further, at least for the next decade, unless the water profession eschews "business as usual" practices, which can only allow incremental changes to occur."

Administración de derechos de agua
Esta publicacion recoge la experiencia relativa a la puesta en practica de la legislacion sobre el derecho de aprovechamiento de aguas y de vertimiento de aguas residuales a cuerpos hidricos. Las orientaciones legislativas preliminares contenidas en este estudio podran ser de utilidad para responsables politicos, legisladores y funcionarios de gobierno a la hora de redactar nuevas leyes en que se tengan en cuenta los problemas de puesta en practica de la legislacion vinculada a los derechos mencionados."
The Bhakra-Nangal Project
"This book is an in-depth study of possibly the most well-known multi-purpose river valley project in north India, the Bhakra-Nangal Project. One of the first scientific performance-analyses of a completed project in India, it examines how far the stated objectives of the project have been fulfilled. The volume studies the incidental and indirect consequences of the dam including its synergetic impact and the 'green revolution'; increased food production and productivity in the area; and the displacement and rehabilitation of people from the areas submerged when the dam was built. Informative, yet written in an engaging manner, this volume will interest environmentalists, water management experts, activists, bureaucrats, policy planners, and an informed general public."--BOOK JACKET.
Appraising Sustainable Development
The book discusses the concept of sustanable development specifically with regard to water resources management and environmental challenges therein. Sustainable development is studied from the perspective of its applicability to a heterogeneous world. This volume raises questions for the development community to consider in the context of the coexistence of pluralism of paradigms.
