About this book

Including work by some of the world's leading economists, engineers, ecologists and social scientists, "Water Resources and Economic Development" is a unique collection due to its global perspectives and specific focus upon the recent experiences of the developing regions of Asia, Africa and Latin America. It explores important topics such as basin and regional development, irrigation and agricultural development, water supply, sanitation and health, legal and institutional issues, water pricing and water markets, and policy trends and emerging issues. This volume should be a valuable source for students, researchers and policymakers and also for those who would like to be more informed in this key area of development studies.
