Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The World Water Development Report 2003 pointed out the extensive problem that: 'Sadly, the tragedy of the water crisis is not simply a result of lack of water but is, essentially, one of poor water governance.' Cross-sectional and historical intra-national and international comparisons have been recognized as a valuable method of study in different sectors of human life, including technologies and governance. Environmental History of Water fills this gap, with its main focus being on water and sanitation services and their evolution. Altogether 34 authors have written 30 chapters for this multidisciplinary book which divides into four chronological parts, from ancient cultures to the challenges of the 21st century, each with its introduction and conclusions written by the editors. The authors represent such disciplines as history of technology, history of public health, public policy, development studies, sociology, engineering and management sciences. This book emphasizes that the history of water and sanitation services is strongly linked to current water management and policy issues, as well as future implications. Geographically the book consists of local cases from all inhabited continents. The key penetrating themes of the book include especially population growth, health, water consumption, technological choices and governance. There is great need for general, long-term analysis at the global level. Lessons learned from earlier societies help us to understand the present crisis and challenges. This new book, Environmental History of Water, provides this analysis by studying these lessons. Contents Part One: Early Systems and Innovations Part Two: Period of Slow Development Part Three: Modern Urban Infrastructure Part Four: Future Challenges in Water Supply and Sanitation Services and Environmental Health.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Water Services Management and Governance focuses on water services (water supply, wastewater services) and deals with connections between water resources and services and water resources. It covers water supply mainly in urban communities, sanitation and pollution control and water resources and their linkages to water services. This book is divided in to four key sections relating to governance frameworks, technology and socio-ecological interactions, government and governance, and long terms policies. The chapters analyse the complexity of the water services sector based on a historical analysis of developments within the sector. The underlying conviction is that only by understanding past trends, processes and developments can the current situation in the water services be understood. Only through this understanding can policies for sustainable water services in the future be formulated. The four key sections relate to governance frameworks, technology and socio-ecological interactions, government and governance, and long terms policies. Water Services Management and Governance raises awareness that an understanding of the past is a necessity to explore potential, probable and preferable futures. It is an essential basis for water sector reforms in any country, region or community. The book is written for experts in water utilities, ministries, municipalities, NGOs, donor agencies, private companies and regulators; as well as students and researchers in water policy and governance, and the management of water resources, services and infrastructure. EDITORS Dr. Petri S. Juuti is a historian, and Adjunct Professor in the universities of Tampere, Oulu and Turku. Tapio S. Katko, Civil engineer, Adjunct Professor, UNESCO Chairholder in Sustainable Water Services at Tampere University of Technology, Finland.

Assistant Editor: Riikka P. Rajala, Environmental Engineer, Post-Doctoral researcher in University of Tampere, Finland. REVIEWS 'This welcome addition to the literature on water governance is a timely, thorough, and practical set of assessments of management challenges facing water service providers around the world. The diverse set of case studies, many of which focus on reforms to water supply provision, will be of interest to students and practitioners alike.' KAREN BAKKER, Professor/Canada Research Chair, Director of the Program on Water Governance, The University of British Columbia 'The anthology makes a very useful contribution to speed up the slow political awakening of reaching universal water services coverage: The lack of water services is in most cases not due to shortages of water, money and technologies, it is rather about poor governance. It provides many different insights from various cultural and political contexts and outlines and explains current changes in the governance architectures of water supply and sanitation.' DR. HAKAN TROPP, Director, Water Governance Facility, Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI).

paperback. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting.

Soft Cover. Zustand: Very Good. Text in English. 192 pp. Light wear to covers. Fold on one page corner. This book constitutes a significant contribution to our understanding of the policy and management of water services. Taking a healthy distance from prevailing trends in the water policy literature, this collection provides highly valuable insights into the historical diversity characterizing the institutional frameworks and technical solutions adopted particularly in water supply and sanitation. This is a timely work that we hope will enrich ongoing international debates about urgently needed reforms in water policy and management.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. Water is an element of special interest to mankind and a captivating feature of the cityscape. Since antiquity fountains have existed in cities besides natural water bodies such as lakes, rivers and seashores. Their original purpose may have been to supply water to communities, but quite soon they have also been assigned functions related to cityscape. Fountains have also been used to cool cities during hot spells. This project is launched in response to the observation that despite the prominent position fountains occupy in many cities, hardly any related compilations have been written. The book is based on research with scientific citations and use of sources. It is a four-color print. Text in English. 222 pp.
