Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La gobernanza del agua, en la actualidad, presenta notables retos en términos de equidad, justicia y sustentabilidad. Para poder abordar estos temas consideramos necesario entender los discursos, políticas y relaciones de poder que dan forma a los procesos de toma de decisiones e intervención, al manejo de la información y conocimientos y, por ende, al control del agua y sus territorios. En Latinoamérica, la gobernanza ambiental se ha transformado con base en la descentralización política y la restructuración liberal. Bajo este modelo se priman mecanismos de participación de los diversos actores en condiciones desiguales de poder, lo que en muchas ocasiones vulnera la justicia hídrica. Los estudios de la gobernanza del agua, desde el enfoque de la ecología política, que este libro presenta, abren posiciones críticas para el debate interdisciplinario. Entendemos así las diversas aportaciones de este libro como una construcción de puentes de diálogo entre la comunidad académica y las poblaciones locales. De igual manera, pretendemos crear nuevas ideas y perspectivas analíticas que sirvan de fuente de inspiración para todos aquellos que se empeñan en investigar y comprender la problemática del agua y sus injusticias.
Book Synopsis Institutional Capacity of Local Governments for Water Governance by : Patricia Teresa Fernández Guajardo
Download or read book Institutional Capacity of Local Governments for Water Governance written by Patricia Teresa Fernández Guajardo and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "En el sector del agua en México ha ocurrido una transición del modelo tradicional de gobernanza (centralizado, jerárquico) hacia la "gobernanza moderna". Este cambio de paradigma enfatiza la descentralización, la gestión local, participativa e integrada del agua, y la "transversalización" de la política del agua en los demás sectores de la política pública. También concede a los municipios un rol más activo en la gestión del recurso. El presente estudio explora la capacidad institucional de los gobiernos municipales para desempeñar las tareas relacionadas con la gestión del agua desde un enfoque de gobernanza y de Gestión Integrada de los Recursos Hídricos. A través del método cualitativo, se analiza la capacidad organizacional de las dependencias de Desarrollo Urbano y de Ecología en los siete municipios comprendidos en la Subcuenca del río Santa Catarina. El análisis ilustra la situación en que se encuentra cada una de estas organizaciones en relación a la meta deseada de desarrollo de capacidad; así también permite comprender los factores que facilitan u obstaculizan el desempeño de sus tareas con enfoque de gobernanza. Con base en esto, se proponen recomendaciones de política pública para la construcción de capacidad para la gobernanza efectiva del agua. "--descripción del autor.

Download or read book Pay written by Mark Smith and published by IUCN. This book was released on 2006 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide aims to provide practical tools to non specialists-essentially water resources planners, river basin managers, non-governmental organizations and private sector operators. It links the most recent practice on payments for hydrological services to current discourse on integrated water resources management and looks into the different aspects to consider when exploring the potential feasibility of establishing reward or payments for ecosystem services related to water security. Pay demystifies concepts and jargon, and through a series of tools, case studies and stories from around the world, describes pitfalls to avoid and provides hints to fill gaps in knowledge. It is based on a demand-driven approach, linking text, tools and illustrations to key questions emerging from current and potential practitioners.
Book Synopsis Water Policy and Management in Spain by : Francisco González-Gómez
Download or read book Water Policy and Management in Spain written by Francisco González-Gómez and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spain is facing an increasingly difficult situation in terms of water stress. This is an issue that is due mostly to poor management practices in all sectors. Large amounts of water have been used for agricultural purposes at very low prices for too long; there is an uncontrolled use of most aquifers in rural areas which result from ineffective control by the public administration; per capita consumption continues increasing as well as water used for industrial and energy generation, the construction and tourism sectors and for recreation activities. In fact, they have all exerted additional pressure on available water resources. In order to face the above challenges, water policy has made a gradual shift towards more rational and sustainable management of water resources. This has also been influenced by the European Water Framework Directive about which, as the book discusses, there are both myths and misunderstandings. This book analyses the very complex position of all sectors in the country, the alternatives available and the challenges ahead. In so doing, it makes an important contribution to the literature on water resources management. This book was published as a special issue of the International Journal of Water Resources Development.

Book Synopsis New Perspectives on Transboundary Water Governance by : Luis Paulo Batista da Silva
Download or read book New Perspectives on Transboundary Water Governance written by Luis Paulo Batista da Silva and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-12-18 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a novel examination of transboundary water governance, drawing on global case studies and applying new theoretical approaches. Excessive consumption and degradation of natural resources can either heighten the risks of conflicts or encourage cooperation within and among countries, and this is particularly pertinent to the governance of water. This book fills a lacuna by providing an interdisciplinary examination of transboundary water governance, presenting a range of novel and emerging theoretical approaches. Acknowledging that issues vary across different regions, the book provides a global view from South and Central America, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, with the case studies offering civil society and public managers concrete situations that indicate difficulties and successes in water sharing between bordering countries. The volume highlights the links between natural resources, political geography, international politics, and development, with chapters delving into the role of paradiplomacy, the challenges of climate change adaptation, and the interconnections between aquifers and international development. With rising demand for water in the face of climate change, this book aims to stimulate further theoretical, conceptual, and methodological debate in the field of transboundary water governance to ensure peaceful and fair access to shared water resources. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of water resource governance from a wide variety of disciplines, including geography, international relations, global development, and law. It will also be of interest to professionals and policymakers working on natural resource governance and international cooperation.
Book Synopsis Exploring New Approaches in Urban Water Governance by : Elena Ridolfi
Download or read book Exploring New Approaches in Urban Water Governance written by Elena Ridolfi and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Muchas de las ciudades costeras del mundo se están volviendo cada vez más urbanas y muchas de ellas están cambiando hacia el turismo, uno de los sectores de mayor crecimiento de la economía mundial. El agua es un elemento clave para el desarrollo y las funciones urbanas y de sostenimiento para las nuevas instalaciones turísticas. Sin embargo, los cambios y las rápidas transformaciones urbanas están estimulando una creciente preocupación con respecto a los recursos hídricos. En particular, los nuevos desarrollos urbanos crecen en complejidad, mientras que las densas redes de flujos de agua se intensifican dentro del tejido urbano y plantea un gran desafío para la gobernabilidad de este recurso. Considerando que el siglo pasado ha definido y representado el fenómeno del agua como una sustancia material (H2O), la investigación del siglo 21 ha puesto en duda esa perspectiva. De hecho, estudiosos sociales han demostrado recientemente que el enfoque físico ya no es suficiente para hacer frente a los desafíos presentes y futuros del agua urbana, la incertidumbre y la gobernabilidad. Por lo tanto, los geógrafos y ecologistas políticos, en particular, han desarrollado el concepto de "ciclo hidro-social" que integra tanto la natura física como sociopolítica del agua. Mediante el empleo de este concepto, y a través de la lente de Ecología Política Urbana, han mostrado cómo los sistemas sociales, políticos, culturales y económicos gobiernan los flujos de agua a través de las sociedades, dando forma a la formación de los entornos urbanos. La gestión del agua urbana y la gobernanza han sido investigados sobre todo desde una perspectiva funcional y física, y más recientemente, desde una perspectiva social y crítica con respecto a quién en la sociedad se beneficia de los recursos hídricos, la controla y la gobierna. Por otra parte, como el agua fluye, circula y interactúa con los sistemas urbanos dominados por nuevos modelos de turismo (por ejemplo, el turismo de masas), ha sido poco investigado en términos conceptuales y metodológicos, desde la disciplina de la Ecología Política Urbana y través del concepto de ciclo hidro-social. Ambas perspectivas se ha sido analizada en esta Tesis Doctoral y sobretodo en zonas urbanas costeras mediterráneas donde el agua es un recurso fundamental para sostener el turismo que ya es el primer sector económico de estos países. Después de una introducción general al tema de investigación, en el capítulo 3 se presenta el marco teórico y metodológico utilizado para elaborar este estudio y un marco para analizar la gobernabilidad del ciclo hidro-social en entornos urbanos turísticos. En el capítulo 4 se analizan los procesos de transformación de las ciudades turísticas costeras del Mediterráneo, y su complejidad urbana, a través de la perspectiva de la Ecología Política Urbana. El capítulo también selecciona Venecia, Benidorm y Mykonos como casos de ciudades turísticas y como sistemas de análisis donde los ciclos hidro-social y su gobierno pueden asumir y revelar configuraciones particulares. En el capítulo 5 se aplica el análisis de la gobernanza del ciclo hidro-social al caso de Venecia revelando su configuración pasada y presente del ciclo hidro-social y de su gobernanza. Los resultados de este estudio indican cómo el análisis del ciclo de hidro-social es útil para pensar y mejorar las políticas de agua relacionadas con el sector del turismo y los problemas de gobernabilidad. La tesis sostiene que nuevos discursos dialécticos y las representaciones de este ciclo pueda abrir nuevas ventanas para escrutar la política de agua y la gobernabilidad. La tesis apunta a la noción de "ciclo hidro-social" para fomentar mas investigación de estas cuestiones a través de la ecología política urbana y la geografía, analizar y evaluar los flujos físicos y sociales del agua y su gestión en las ciudades costeras turísticas.

Book Synopsis Transforming Rural Water Governance by : Sarah T Romano
Download or read book Transforming Rural Water Governance written by Sarah T Romano and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most acute water crises occur in everyday contexts in impoverished rural and urban areas across the Global South. While they rarely make headlines, these crises, characterized by inequitable access to sufficient and clean water, affect over one billion people globally. What is less known, though, is that millions of these same global citizens are at the forefront of responding to the challenges of water privatization, climate change, deforestation, mega-hydraulic projects, and other threats to accessing water as a critical resource. In Transforming Rural Water Governance Sarah T. Romano explains the bottom-up development and political impact of community-based water and sanitation committees (CAPS) in Nicaragua. Romano traces the evolution of CAPS from rural resource management associations into a national political force through grassroots organizing and strategic alliances. Resource management and service provision is inherently political: charging residents fees for service, determining rules for household water shutoffs and reconnections, and negotiating access to water sources with local property owners constitute just a few of the highly political endeavors resource management associations like CAPS undertake as part of their day-to-day work in their communities. Yet, for decades in Nicaragua, this local work did not reflect political activism. In the mid-2000s CAPS’ collective push for social change propelled them onto a national stage and into new roles as they demanded recognition from the government. Romano argues that the transformation of Nicaragua’s CAPS into political actors is a promising example of the pursuit of sustainable and equitable water governance, particularly in Latin America. Transforming Rural Water Governance demonstrates that when activism informs public policy processes, the outcome is more inclusive governance and the potential for greater social and environmental justice.

Book Synopsis Indigenous Water and Drought Management in a Changing World by : Miguel Sioui
Download or read book Indigenous Water and Drought Management in a Changing World written by Miguel Sioui and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2022-05-19 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indigenous Water and Drought Management in a Changing World presents a series of global case studies that examine how different Indigenous groups are dealing with various water management challenges and finding creative and culturally specific ways of developing solutions to these challenges. With contributions from Indigenous and non-Indigenous academics, scientists, and water management experts, this volume provides an overview of key water management challenges specific to Indigenous peoples, proposes possible policy solutions both at the international and national levels, and outlines culturally relevant tools for assessing vulnerability and building capacity. In recent decades, global climate change (particularly drought) has brought about additional water management challenges, especially in drought-prone regions where increasing average temperatures and diminishing precipitation are leading to water crises. Because their livelihoods are often dependent on the land and water, Indigenous groups native to those regions have direct insights into the localized impacts of global environmental change, and are increasingly developing their own adaptation and mitigation strategies and solutions based on local Indigenous knowledge (IK). Many Indigenous groups around the globe are also faced with mounting pressure from extractive industries like mining and forestry, which further threaten their water resources. The various cases presented in Indigenous Water and Drought Management in a Changing World provide much-needed insights into the particular issues faced by Indigenous peoples in preserving their water resources, as well as actionable information that can inform future scientific research and policymaking aimed at developing more integrated, region-specific, and culturally relevant solutions to these critical challenges. Includes diverse case studies from around the world Provides cutting-edge perspectives about Indigenous peoples’ water management issues and IK-based solutions Presents maps for most case studies along with a summary box to conclude each chapter
Book Synopsis Ecological Crisis and Water Supply by :
Download or read book Ecological Crisis and Water Supply written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-11-27 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses the origin and evolution of the water supply service in Andalusia (southern Spain) between 1800 and 2020 from several perspectives. It does so from a historical perspective, to understand the evolution of the service over the years; from an economic perspective, as it is very useful to obtain an overview of the level of efficiency of the service; from a legislative perspective, as the regulatory framework of each era determines the models of management and provision of the service; and, finally, from an ecological and environmental perspective, of great importance in the New Water Culture and the protection of this resource. The volume's main objective is to contribute to the extension of knowledge and analysis of the processes of municipalisation and/or privatisation of this service in Andalusia, with the aim of providing those responsible for local governments and administrations, both political and technical, with useful reflection and illustrative information on the use of municipalisation and/or privatisation as instruments for the reform of the local public sector. Contributors are: María Ana Bernardo, Ana Cardoso de Matos, José Escalante Jiménez, Antonio Rafael Fernández-Paradas, Mercedes Fernández-Paradas, Leticia Gallego Valero, Víctor Manuel Heredia-Flores, Carlos Larrinaga, Nuria Magaldi, Alberte Martínez-López, Juan Manuel Matés-Barco, Jesús Mirás Araujo, Encarnación Moral Pajares, Jesús Raúl Navarro García, Nuria Rodríguez Martín, and María Vázquez-Fariñas.
Book Synopsis Enabling Adaptive Water Management to Face Drought Risk in a Changing Climate by : Guido Minucci
Download or read book Enabling Adaptive Water Management to Face Drought Risk in a Changing Climate written by Guido Minucci and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-08-11 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the current challenges with regard to uncertainty and risk in water management, as well as the interlinkages between drought and water management. It focuses on the challenges for water management organisations, which are expected to adapt to such changes and implement adaptive water management. The book proposes a methodology for assessing organisations’ adaptive capacity, named REACT, and demonstrates its application in a case study. It subsequently analyses the barriers hindering water management organisations’ ability to adapt, and investigates the socio-cultural and economic barriers in water governance to applying adaptive water management (AWM) strategies. Lastly, the book describes how to enable AWM in order to face current and future drought risks by integrating it with drought risk management. Given its scope, it will appeal to scientists, pracademics and professionals from academia, the water industry and involved in policymaking.
