To conserve water, one of the most valuable and vital resources in the world, management and public strategies, processes to reduce water consumption in industrial/commercial applications, and methods such as smart irrigation systems have been proposed. Local authorities have focused on infrastructure operations to prevent water losses and flow measurements have begun to be followed more closely. The use of greywater for partial recycling of water for household purposes and rainwater harvesting systems are being encouraged. In addition, there is more research on water conservation, its smart use, and recycling of used water being conducted. This book presents valuable scientific research on water and land management, groundwater management, and water/wastewater treatment applications for the conservation of water.

In this global approach to climate change and freshwater access, Cameron Fioret explores the harmful effects of water commodification. Making use of deliberative democratic theory, Fioret suggests tools that can change the balance of democratic decision-making power by rethinking the governance of water more broadly. Five main case studies including Detroit, Cochabamba, and Kerala span four continents to convey the global and local scope of normative water issues. These examples draw on contemporary water justice movements to explore how anti-water-commodification struggles can utilize water recommoning practices to make water governance processes more deeply democratic. Highlighting the ethical and sociopolitical ramifications of water injustice, this study moves beyond the surface issue of distributional concerns. To this end, Fioret draws on research in democratic political theory and environmental philosophy to consider what right people have to water, the putative harms of privatizing and commodifying water, common ownership, and legal protections, alongside local and transnational political activism. In navigating these pressing issues, The Ethics of Water provides a searing analysis of water commodification and political domination today.
