Globalization of Water is a first-of-its-kind review of the
critical relationship between globalization and sustainable water
management. It explores the impact of international trade on local
water depletion and pollution and identifies "water
dependent" nations.
* Examines the critical link between water management and
international trade, considering how local water depletion and
pollution are often closely tied to the structure of the global
economy
* Offers a consumer-based indicator of each nation's water
use: the water footprint
* Questions whether trade can enhance global water use
efficiency, or whether it simply shifts the environmental burden to
a distant location
* Highlights the hidden link between national consumption and the
use of water resources across the globe, identifying the threats
facing 'water dependent' countries worldwide
* Provides a state-of-the-art review and in-depth data source for
a new field of knowledge
