About the Book

Sustainable water management is high on the political agenda. Insufficient access to water resources and insufficient sanitation is one of the worldbs major problems. All over the world countries struggle with water stress, not only in arid but also in humid regions. Water issues vary from problems with water scarcity and a degrading quality of surface and groundwater, to problems with floods and a rising sea level due to climate change. The European Union attempts to improve the sustainability of water management in its member states by means of the European Water Framework Directive, adopted in 2000. Water management should be coordinated at the level of river basins as a whole. Interests of various user groups should be better balanced by means of more public participation. River basin management should be based on a water vision taking into account the impact of all human activities on the status of the resource. Water legislation needs streamlining and more focus on its implementation. The European Union advocates getting water prices right by charging the costs of water services on basis of full cost recovery and the polluter pays principle. This book examines the development of water management towards sustainability in six European countries: the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Spain, Italy and Switzerland. It is based on the European research project EUWARENESS (European Water Resource Regimes and the Notion of a Sustainable Status). The authors apply a theoretical framework for the analysis of institutional regimes, water governance and property rights. In each of the country chapters the evolution of the national water resource regime is analysed and described over a period ofalmost 200 years (1800-2000). The long-term perspective enables to analyse the conditions under which regime transformation and paradigm change are made possible. The book also includes a critical analysis of policy making by the European Union, and a comparative review and analysis of regime development in the six countries involved. This book is followed up by another volume published with Kluwer Academic Publishers on Integrated Governance and Water Basin Management: Conditions for Regime Change towards Sustainability, edited by Hans Bressers and Stefan Kuks.
