In the face of this emerging crisis, how should the planet's water be used and managed? Current international policy sees nature competing with human uses of water. Hunt takes issue with this perspective. She suggests that nature is the source of water and only by making the conservation of nature an absolute priority will we have the water we need for human use in future. It is essential, therefore, to manage water in ways that maintain the water cycle and the ecosystems that support it. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book looks at the complexity of the problem.
