Book synopsis

Water has always been a crucial catalyst for human development given its diverse but crucial functions. In the African context water has a necessary role to play in all development sectors- be it agriculture, industry, mining, power generation, water services or poverty alleviation- and the competition among different sectors for a scarce water resource remains a critical challenge to water managers and decision-makers. Water and Development: Good Governance after Neoliberalism examines a wide range of issues- from governance to solar distillation, from gender to water pumps- and deploy a wide range of research methods- from participant observation to GIS and SPSS data analysis- but throughout there is a unifying thread aimed at developing a participatory and sustainable approach to water which recognises it as an essential public necessity. While aimed primarily at an undergraduate audience of development and environmental studies students it will also appeal to a wide range of NGOs and policy makers seeking a robust and transformational approach to water and development.
