About this title

Synopsis

Implementing policies and programs that modify how people can access, use or interact with water resources is frequently socially antagonistic. This book recognizes key principles for evaluating and dealing the social effects of water reform. The significance of social acceptability to successful water reform is examined, together with the role of social assessment in attaining this. Water resources and services are parts of social systems that encompass beyond the technical world and the integrated water resources management needs a balance between competing views of social and political issues.
