FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description P.B. Anand argues that if water supply and sanitation were mainly problems of technology or financial resources, they would have been resolved long ago. While appreciating that technology and finances are important, he ascertains that there are many other factors affecting our ability to intervene and improve the effectiveness of policies. The author explores these factors, raising questions such as How is water scarcity defined?, Are there patterns that indicate how nations use available freshwater resources?, Does water shortage make nations use water more efficiently?, and What explains the variation in progress with regard to Millennium Development Goals related to water and sanitation?. Other important themes examined include:availability and use of water resourcesinequality in access to waterthe role of institutions and policiesaccess to water and sanitationriver water agreements and disputesconsumer perspectives and water utility management.Underpinned by international datasets and national- and local-level case studies based on primary research, the study identifies issues for policy and further research. As such, it will provide a fascinating and stimulating read for researchers, students and academics with an interest in water economics and public policy. Practitioners focusing on water management, sustainable development, water supply and health will also find this book useful. Author Biography P.B.
