About this book
This study looks at how the legal arrangements for managing water resources have evolved across the continents over hundreds of years. It examines 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.
