Official URL: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1759-5436.2012.00300.x/abstract More details/abstract: This introduction reviews the experience of the water and sanitation sector since the 1990 New Delhi Statement – Some for All Rather than More for Some. It explores the policy pathways and contested politics that took place as a result of three key years in the early 1990s, from the issuing of the New Delhi Statement in 1990, through the Dublin Statement on Water and Sustainable Development in 1992, to the output of the Earth Summit held in Rio de Janeiro. These key events have shaped policy and practice over a period of two decades, including generating major contestation over the idea of water as an economic good. Past lessons suggest that the wider global water and sanitation community needs to rethink approaches and emphases, shifting from targets and global pronouncement to issues concerning sustainability, global/local mismatches, contested knowledges, equity, politics and power.

  • The Key to Implementing the Sustainable Development Goals
    TEC BACKGROUND PAPERS NO. 22 Increasing water security: the key to implementing the Sustainable Development Goals By Tushaar Shah Global Water Partnership Technical Committee (TEC) The Global Water Partnership’s vision is for a water secure world. Our mission is to advance governance and management of water resources for sustainable and equitable development. Global Water Partnership (GWP) is an international network, created in 1996 to foster an integrated approach to water resources management (IWRM). IWRM is a process which promotes the coordinated development and management of water, land, and related resources in order to maximise economic and social welfare in an equitable manner without compromising the sustainability of vital ecosystems. The Network is open to all organisations that recognise the principles of an integrated approach to water resources management endorsed by the Network. It includes states, government institutions (national, regional, and local), intergovernmental organisations, international and national non-governmental organisations, academic and research institutions, private sector companies, and service providers in the public sector. GWP’s Technical Committee is a group of internationally recognised professionals and scientists skilled in the different aspects of water management. This committee provides technical support and advice to the Partnership as a whole. The Technical Committee has been charged with developing an analytical framework of the water sector and proposing actions that will promote sustainable water resources management. This series, published by the GWP Global Secretariat in Stockholm, has been created to disseminate the papers written and commissioned by the Technical Committee to address the issues relevant to GWP’s vision and mission. See the inside back cover for a list of publications in this series.

The inexorable increase in global population and use of water for economic purposes puts ever greater pressure on the world’s water resources. Integrated water resources management (IWRM) recognises that there will always be more potential demand for water than there is supply, and that to deal with this there is a need for negotiation and compromise. While there is a desire to seek so-called “win-win” scenarios, these are often difficult to put into practice in real terms. The reality is that hard decisions need to be made, and that in allocating water among competing users there will be winners and losers. The aim must therefore be to develop institutions that have the respect and legitimacy to enforce their decisions even when these are unpopular. The core message for the drinking water and sanitation sector, voiced in Vision 21 (WSSCC, 2000), is that domestic water must come first. No other activity has equal importance, and there can be no “trading” of domestic water entitlements. Water use should be seen as a pyramid, with domestic use representing the smallest, but most important amount at the pyramid’s apex.

  • International Water Pricing: an Overview and Historic and Modern Case Studies Authors: Kristin M
    1 International Water Pricing: An Overview and Historic and Modern Case Studies Authors: Kristin M. Anderson1 and Lisa J. Gaines2 1. The value of water: An overview of major issues As water resources have become increasingly scarce in the last few decades, the perception of water has changed. The debate over the treatment of water as an economic good has been a prevalent part of water resource management discussions in the literature as well as in real world negotiations, as can bee seen in media reports. The topic is quite complicated, and a general overview is difficult. However, the following review attempts to present a short summary of some of the main issues related to this topic. 2. The Dublin Statement and United Nations Agenda 21 The Dublin Statement, issued from the International Conference of Water and the Environment (ICWE) held in Dublin, Ireland, in January of 1992, was a primary catalyst of the debate over treatment of water as an economic good (ICWE, 1992). Resulting from the call from 500 participants from 100 nations for fundamental new approaches to the management of freshwater resources, the Dublin Statement included within it the principle that, “Water has an economic value in all its competing uses and should be recognized as an economic good” (ICWE, 1992, Guiding Principle No. 4). This was the first explicit recognition of water as an economic good, and this principle is often found quoted in literature that has ensued since its establishment. Shortly thereafter, this same idea was adopted by the Plenary in Rio de Janeiro at the United Nations Conference on Environment & Development in June of 1992, with some additions to the statement.

  • Students' Perceived Priorities on Water As a Human Right, Natural Resource, and Multiple Goods
    sustainability Article Students’ Perceived Priorities on Water as a Human Right, Natural Resource, and Multiple Goods Riikka P. Rajala 1,* , Tapio S. Katko 1 and Gunta Springe 2 1 Faculty of Built Environment, Tampere University, 33720 Tampere, Finland; tapio.katko@tuni.fi 2 Faculty of Geography and Earth Science, University of Latvia, LV-1586 Riga, Latvia; [email protected] * Correspondence: riikka.rajala@tuni.fi; Tel.: +358-50-447-9998 Received: 30 September 2019; Accepted: 5 November 2019; Published: 12 November 2019 Abstract: As often noted, water is one of the most critical natural resources in the world—one we must take care of so that future generations can enjoy safe water. This study specifically explores university-level water and environmental students’ views on perceived priorities on water. The recent debate on water policy and its complexity is first reviewed, followed by a study on how students perceived water through six predetermined criteria. Interactive learning events (n = 241) were arranged worldwide in 2011–2015 in seven countries and one region: Finland, Latvia, South Africa, Brazil, Mexico, Sri Lanka, USA, and Southern Africa region. The relative distribution of the criteria totaling 100% were as follows: Basic human right 31%, natural resource 25%, economic good 15%, public and social good both 11%, and cultural good 7%. The views did not substantially differentiate despite the different socio-economic conditions. Yet, basic human right should be interpreted wisely remembering environmental, economic, and other realities. Here, the target group consisted of water and environmental students, and it would be very interesting to conduct a comparative study among students in other fields (sociology, economics, etc.).

  • The 'Nexus' As a Step Back Towards a More Coherent Water Resource Management Paradigm
    www.water-alternatives.org Volume 8 | Issue 1 Muller, M. 2015. The 'nexus' as a step back towards a more coherent water resource management paradigm. Water Alternatives 8(1): 675-694 The 'Nexus' As a Step Back towards a More Coherent Water Resource Management Paradigm Mike Muller Wits University Graduate School of Public and Development Management, Johannesburg, South Africa; [email protected] ABSTRACT: The interrelationships between water resources, food production and energy security have influenced policy for many decades so the emergence of the water-food-energy 'nexus' as a proposed new focus for water resource management is surprising. It is suggested that this focus can be understood as a consequence of the decision by developed countries to ignore agreements reached at the 1992 Rio Summit on Sustainable Development and promote instead a 'Dublin IWRM', their original lobbying platform. That approach has not helped developing countries to address food, energy and water security nor assisted global businesses to expand or to manage the risks posed to their operations by poor water management. The nexus approach begins to address these concerns by focusing on a specific 'problem-shed'. While this may disintegrate the original robust concept of integrated water management, its emphasis on what water may do for society rather than what society should do for water is a step back toward a more coherent and useful paradigm. KEYWORDS: Water resources management, food security, energy security, political economy analysis, environmental policy INTRODUCTION This paper locates the emergence of the 'water-food-energy nexus' discourse as a step in the progression of the 'development versus environment' debate, which came into focus at the 1992 UN Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

  • Attempting to Define the Human Right to Water with an Annotated
    Attempting to Define the Human Right to Water with an Annotated Bibliography & Recommendations for Practitioners* JOOTAEK LEE** AND MARAYA BEST*** ABSTRACT This Article investigates research issues related to the right to water, attempts to define and narrow the scope of the human right to water, and suggests research methodologies. Specifically, this Article provides a definition of the human right to water and identifies the difficulties of researching the human right to water. Next, it delineates international principles and other mechanisms that can be useful in protecting individuals and people affected by water issues, including quantity, quality, and access. Then, it selectively reviews current literature and domestic laws that provides some useful starting points for contemporary legal research on the human right to water. This Article concludes by offering recommendations for researchers and practitioners. TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction .............................................. 76 I.

Conclusion Glossary Bibliography Biographical Sketch Summary Without water there can be no life and no development. Although water is necessary for sustainable development, by itself it is not sufficient to achieve development. This means that it is only one of many factors in the process of socio-economic development. Broadly water fulfils an economic, social, cultural, political and ecological role in improvingUNESCO people’s quality of life. But –milli onsEOLSS of people do not even have access to clean drinking water and sanitation, never mind using water for development. An ever- increasing population,SAMPLE rapid urbanization and iCHAPTERSndustrialization, the unsustainable type of development path followed and widespread poverties and growing inequalities, will only make this situation worse in the future. Proposals on how to address these challenges and ensure access to water for all, has to do with viewing water as an economic commodity or enforcing it as a human right of all.
