Abstract

This book applies cutting-edge thinking to identify pathways that can transform complex water conflicts. It challenges existing, deeply-held, and recurring power-blind and politics-lite analysis that suggests causal links between scarcity and violence, or peace. The book presents a much needed revision of transboundary water analysis, leading to a reimagination of the way water is used and contested, with a focus on harm experienced both by the most vulnerable water users and the environment. The authors' 'transformative analysis' provides multi-disciplinary tools and perspectives to understand and address the challenge. The approach is stress-tested through dozens of examples around the globe, and it incorporates collective evidence and knowledge of the London Water Research Group.

Abstract

A lack of finance for water resources management is a primary concern for most OECD countries. This is exacerbated in the current fiscal environment of tight budgets and strong fiscal consolidation, as public funding provides the lion’s share of financial resources for water management. The report provides a framework for policy discussions around financing water resources management that are taking place at local, basin, national, or transboundary levels. The report goes beyond the traditional focus on financing water supply and sanitation to examine the full range of water management tasks that governments have to fulfill; when appropriate, a distinction is made on distinctive water issues. The report identifies four principles (Polluter Pays, Beneficiary Pays, Equity, Policy Coherence), which have to be combined. In addition, it identifies five empirical issues, which have to be addressed on a case-by-case basis. Finally, it sketches a staged approach that governments might wish to consider, to assess the financial status of their water policies and to design robust financial strategies for water management. Case studies provide illustrations of selected instruments and how they can be used to finance water resources management.

Abstract

Document incontournable pour les enseignants, étudiants, responsables territoriaux et plus généralement tous ceux qui s'intéressent à la protection de l'environnement, cet atlas présente clairement non seulement les modes de consommation de l'eau et leur impact sur le milieu naturel, mais aussi l'ensemble des problèmes posés par la gestion "politique" de l'eau quand elle se raréfie : quelles sont les conséquences des activités humaines sur les ressources en eau et sur la qualité de cette dernière ? Quels effets sur la mer d'Aral ou le lac Tchad ? Cet atlas décrit, à travers de nombreux exemples régionaux (le Proche-Orient, la mer Noire, la Mésopotamie...), la complexité des problèmes liés au contrôle et à la gestion de l'eau, et les résultats de la mauvaise gestion ou de la surconsommation de "l'or bleu". Ces analyses portent sur les deux dernières décennies, dans un environnement naturel, économique et social fort mouvant. Les cartes et graphiques, réalisés à partir des sources les plus sérieuses et les plus récentes, ainsi que le texte clair qui les accompagne montrent combien la quantité, la qualité et l'accessibilité de l'eau jouent un rôle crucial pour l'avenir de l'humanité.
