Principles of Water Law and Administration

The purpose of this revised edition is to provide a tool for dealing with current legal and institutional aspects of water resources management. New information has been added to include the existing situation in countries which were previously a part of the former Soviet Union. The new edition places added emphasis on elements of growing topical importance, such as stakeholders' influence on decisions, the need to maintain a minimum flow in water bodies and the necessity for legislation in support of water resource monitoring. Finally, there is new material on the European Union Water Framework Directive which is referenced heavily in the work. The book is aimed at those who carry out functions in water resources administration and those who deal with legal issues raised by water management. The text is multidisciplinary in nature and considers both general issues and principles of water law and administration at national and international level. The book will be particularly useful to academics and graduate students of law, engineering, hydrology, hydrogeology, sanitary engineering and planners, as well as national and international water resources managers.Caponera, Dante Augusto is the author of 'Principles of Water Law and Administration', published 2007 under ISBN 9780415435833 and ISBN 0415435838.
