This path-breaking book focuses on the law and legal doctrine
within the wider policy context of water resources and analyses the concept of
sustainability.
To achieve the sustainable use and development of
water resources is a daunting challenge for both global and local communities.
It requires commitments from all groups within international, national and
local communities from their own particular, possibly conflicting,
perspectives. Without a set of coherent legal arrangements designed to ensure
effective governance of water resources, their sustainable use and development
is unlikely to be achieved.
Douglas Fisher considers how legal arrangements
for managing water resources have evolved across the continents over hundreds
of years. He explores their relevance for contemporary society; how the norms
of current international and national legal regimes are responding; and, most
importantly, how legal rights and duties should be structured so as to achieve
sustainability in the future.
