La crise de l’eau affecte de nombreuses régions du monde. Cette réalité a un impact important sur les collectivités locales, les écosystèmes d’eau douce et, plus généralement, sur notre économie. L’auteur, Brian Richter, nous aide à comprendre que cette crise ne nous conduit pas forcément à la catastrophe. Dans un style simple et direct, il pose les bases de la gestion de l’eau et de son cycle, et confronte les enjeux globaux et leur compréhension par des acteurs locaux. À travers des exemples concrets et de nombreuses anecdotes, l’auteur nous propose six outils pour limiter les pénuries ainsi que des suggestions détaillées pour que communautés locales, organisations publiques et compagnies privées puissent les éviter sur le long terme grâce à un plan pragmatique de gestion durable. D’un niveau scientifique très abordable, l’ouvrage fait figure de guide pratique discutant des grandes idées tout en restant focalisé sur un enjeu central : une meilleure gestion des ressources en eau.

“Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe.” H. G. Wells Despite a growing awareness of the importance of freshwater, human actions continue to degrade the freshwater ecosystems upon which we depend. Most regions of the world face serious impending problems related to the availability and efficient/equitable distribution of freshwater – these problems become exacerbated when both surface water and groundwater flows between and among multiple countries. As populations grow and the overall demand for water increases, the various and often competing demands for the finite stock of freshwater will increase. These shortages can lead to ecological/resource inefficiencies, economic/industrial problems, degradation of human health, social instability, and even conflict. The Central Asian republics and neighboring countries are currently experiencing these problems - problems that will become exacerbated by global climate change, increasing population and growing demands for water. In response to these growing concerns, on 20-22 June 2006, a NATO-sponsored Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) was organized in Almaty, Kazakhstan entitled, “Facilitating Regional Security in Central Asia through Improved Management of Transboundary Water Basin Resources”. This scientific meeting convened leading environmental experts from Central Asia, the Caucasus and from NATO member countries to address the myriad of issues involving shared freshwater among the countries in this region. Issues involving ecology, law, economics, politics, water policy and integrated water management were discussed and evaluated. Against the backdrop of the widely known Aral Sea problem, these leading experts addressed a wide variety of current and emerging issues related to transboundary water management.

How can the Earth’s finite water resources be managed sustainably to meet the growing needs of humans and of nature in ways that avert the looming crisis? The need to find answers to this question has exercised the minds of many scientists, practitioners and policymakers who recognise the urgency of the problems. These concerns have spawned a number of international research initiatives and programs, prominent representatives of which met to review progress and exchange views at an international conference in Bonn, Germany in February 2005. The pressing water problems must clearly be tackled from an integrated perspective taking into account environmental, human and technological factors and especially their interdependence. The key papers in this volume from the Bonn conference focus on the challenges of integrated assessment of water resources in the context of global change. The growing gap between North and South is also addressed, in terms not only of access to water and its quality, but also of the capacity to do research and implement solutions. The coverage of the papers is up-to-date and comprehensive. Highlights include emerging concepts such as blue and green water, virtual water, the water footprints of nations, multi-agent modelling, linkages between water and biodiversity, and social learning and adaptive management. Audience: Policy-makers, practitioners and researchers concerned with integrated water resources management; scientists from physical, biological, ecological, and social sciences involved in research on global environmental change and natural resources; scientists concerned with water resources in developing countries.

This study presents a unique way to utilize the existing literature to explain the success of treaties in managing hydrologic stress. Literature-derived core concepts are summarized as seven treaty mechanisms categories (specificity, uncertainty management, enforcement, communications, flexibility, integrativeness, and scale) and are hypothesized as important for shaping the institutional resiliency of a treaty. Treaty design is shown to have a relevant and important role in shaping basin management so that nations may better achieve their goals in a changing climate.
