Looking at the issues of water governance through the
perspective of the social sciences, books in the Palgrave Series in Water
Governance take a global perspective on one of the key challenges facing
society today: the sustainable development of water resources and services for
all. In stepping away from the traditional focus on engineering and
geophysics, the series takes a more holistic approach to both
consolidate and generate knowledge that can be applied to different geographic
areas by academics, researchers, policy-makers, NGOs and the private sector. This series emphasises the link between science and
policy through considering water as a socio-ecological system, water and the
territoriality of action, and water in the context of conflicts.
