Land and Water: The Rights Interface (Fao Legislative Study) (Fao Legislative Studies) - Softcover

For rural livelihoods and for the pursuit of a wide range of development objectives, water and land are obviously closely related resources. Yet, despite the existence of huge literatures on both land tenure and water rights, a comparative analysis of these two subjects is underdeveloped, and the linkages are poorly understood. This publication explores various aspects of the interface between water rights and land tenure. It is intended to synthesize and assess current learning on this topic, to define salient issues and to propose fruitful approaches for further investigation.
