Water Ethics discusses the role of ethics in the deep roots, values, and the potential commonalities of the global water policy. Experts from different cultural, geographic and religious backgrounds have discussed the different ethical points of view, not with the intention to reach a common declaration or moral blueprint, but to exchange ideas and enhance the debate how ethical considerations can play a more significant and explicit role in water development and management.

Examining global water issues and how to solve them, Water Crisis: Myth or Reality challenges the premise that the planet is heading towards a global water crisis. It looks at the issues and tries to unravel which conditions are permanent and unchangeable and which are remediable and changeable. The book explores recent breakthroughs in desalination technologies, the eco-sanitation revolution, international trade in agricultural products, water allocation, and pricing and devolution of property rights and the roles they play in solving water issues. Taking a multidisciplinary point of view, the editors make suggestions about how water issues may be solved in a deliberate, non-crisis manner.
