From the series Water Resources Development and Management, this study is a major first attempt to
address the many issues associated with the institutional innovation in water resource management comprehensively
and in depth. It is a global survey and assessment of the structure, evolution, and performance of water institutions in
regional, national, and international settings. It includes: an analysis and discussion of the rationale for institutional
innovations, based on case study findings; specific suggestions for sustainable institutional design; and
recommendations for implementing institutional reforms. The term "water institutions" in the context of this
volume is broadly defined to include water laws and regulations, water supply schemes, water technologies,
regulatory practices, and water administration policies, all viewed in light of the prevailing socioeconomic,
political, and cultural settings in which they are embedded.
Written for scientists, researchers and libraries as well as institutes in the fields of hydrology, hydrogeology,
planning, irrigation engineering, regional science and environmental science.
