Abstract

"This is a special edition of the IMN Newsletter in many respects. We have collected a group of papers focusing on problems of resource management in water-scarce regions, which cover policy issues and management interventions, as well as studies concerning cooperation and conflict among farmers. They deal with both scarcity as a result of supply problems, as well as environments of actual physical scarcity. We are also carrying a more general paper on technology issues which nevertheless contributes to the debate on efficient water management in situations of water scarcity. Five papers make it a bumper issue, as befits the last edition under the ODI-IIMI agreement."
