Selected Proceedings of the 11th Stockholm Water Symposium "Water Security for the 21st Century - Building Bridges Through Dialogue", held in Stockholm, Sweden, 13-16 August 2001. The 11th Stockholm Water Symposium had the theme "Water Security for the 21st Century - Building Bridges Through Dialogue". The aim was to actively contribute in building bridges between different groups involved in societal planning and in economic decision making on the one hand, and between the experts involved in water resources development and management, in food and industrial production and in protection of ecological services, on the other hand. The overarching goal was to contribute to facilitation of a sustainable development by linking water visions to economic, political and ecological visions. How to influence globalization and other remote driving forces were crucial perspectives under discussion. The Symposium introduced a new workshop format allocating ample time for the building of bridges through dialogue. Only a limited number of oral presentations were given and more than half of the time was used for dialogue and discussion. The dialogues were conducted by moderators and the discussions were summed up by Chairmen and Rapporteurs. The future-oriented, multi-disciplinary Stockholm Water Symposia are convened annually by the Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI), a scientific, technical and awareness-building organization that contributes to international efforts to combat the escalating global water crisis. SIWI facilitates research, raises understanding and stimulates action on world water issues.

The objective of this book is to broadly illustrate the key aspects of water governance, mapping the spectrum of decision-making from techno-centric and eco-centric approaches, to hybrid concepts and people-centric approaches. Topics covered include the challenges for water-governance models, the polycentric model, the integration challenge, water in the decision-making hierarchy, and the rise of water-sensitive design, while also taking into account interdependencies between stakeholders, as well as the issue of scale. The book’s content is presented in an integrated and comprehensive format, building on detailed case studies from around the world and the authors’ working experiences in the water sector. Combining essential insights with accessible, non-technical language, it offers a valuable resource for academics, technicians and policy-makers alike.

In the 21st Century, the world will see an unprecedented migration of people moving from rural to urban areas. With global demand for water projected to outstrip supply in the coming decades, cities will likely face water insecurity as a result of climate change and the various impacts of urbanisation. Traditionally, urban water managers have relied on large-scale, supply-side infrastructural projects to meet increased demands for water; however, these projects are environmentally, economically and politically costly. Urban Water Security argues that cities need to transition from supply-side to demand-side management to achieve urban water security. This book provides readers with a series of in-depth case studies of leading developed cities, of differing climates, incomes and lifestyles from around the world, that have used demand management tools to modify the attitudes and behaviour of water users in an attempt to achieve urban water security. Urban Water Security will be of particular interest to town and regional planners, water conservation managers and policymakers, international companies and organisations with large water footprints, environmental and water NGOs, researchers, graduate and undergraduate students.

Selected Proceedings of the 10th Stockholm Water Symposium Organised by Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI). The 10th Stockholm Water Symposium, "Water Security for the 21st Century - Innovative Approaches," examined how to cope with the creeping but predictive water-related problems due to population growth, urbanization and industralization. The Symposium highlighted actions and appropriate innovative solutions in striving towards a transition from problem focus to opportunity focus, and it showed how to proceed to produce more with less water, and with less pollution loads. More than 900 leading experts discussed how key barriers - institutional as well as mental - can be overcome by increasing water awareness, literacy, solidarity and stewardship in society through innovative educational campaigns in an effort to make water everybody's business. Topics explored included innovative water-efficiency practices such as: irrigation with non-conventional water agriculture to minimize plant evaporation social and gender dimensions in water management integrated approaches to land use water resources socio-economic and ecological demands which impact on every community (large or small), and much more. The future-oriented, multi disciplinary Stockholm Water Symposia are convened annually by the Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI), a scientific, technical and awareness-building organization that contributes to international efforts to combat the escalating global water crisis.

Water, Crime and Security in the Twenty-First Century represents criminology’s first book-length contribution to the study of water and water-related crimes, harms and security. The chapters cover topics such as: water pollution, access to fresh water in the Global North and Global South, water and climate change, the commodification of water and privatization, water security and pacification, and activism and resistance surrounding issues of access and pollution. With examples ranging from Rio de Janeiro to Flint, Michigan to the Thames River, this original study offers a comprehensive criminological overview of the contemporary and historical relationship between water and crime. Coinciding with the International Decade for Action, “Water for Sustainable Development,” 2018–2028, this timely volume will be of particular relevance to students and scholars of green criminology, as well as those interested in critical geography, environmental anthropology, environmental sociology, political ecology, and the study of corporate crime and state crime.
