Less than 1% of the world's water is easily accessible and usable for humans, with the majority being saltwater or frozen fresh water. Global statistics show that around four billion people in the world are exposed to severe water scarcity, and the situation will worsen by 2030. This new book explores the use of water governance as a solution to sustainable development and conservation of water resources. It consolidates the existing knowledge of water management and governance in conjunction with the impact of climate change, challenging economic environments, and fluctuating political conditions.
