They demonstrate that socially responsible management requires new tools: efficient pricing, regulated markets, and transparent institutions that promote conservation while ensuring equity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpanning history, policy, economics, law, and technology, this book speaks to readers who want to understand water in all its dimensions.
