The papers discuss how to contribute to the sustainability of effective international development and water management with a digest of lessons learned on local knowledge and capacity development. Authors expose recent research, strategies and policy positions. Water for a Changing World starts with an introduction and overview of the water resources and the water supply and sanitation sectors in developing countries and worldwide. Topics of these reviews are water security, environmental integrity, the newest earth system science technologies, integrated urban water management, and the global-local nexus of water governance. The second part presents positions on catalyzing and disseminating knowledge and capacity development in response to the current challenges and opportunities.

Baltimore & London, The John Hopkins University Press, 1976. 8vo. In the original printed wrappers. A very fine and clean copy. First printing of Saunders and Warford's landmark report on village water supply and its consequences on health and economy, which "became a benchmark for World Bank policy on rural water supply over the subsequent decade". (Cairncross , Domestic Water Supply in Rural Africa).It initiated a never before seen focus on the character and extent of the problems connected with water supply, sanitation and the relevant economics. Not only did it set the standard for the World Bank, to a large extent it also formed the UN-policy on the subject.
