Notes: "Water in a Changing World: As the title of the third edition of the World Water Development Report (WWDR3) suggests, we live in a world where adaptation to change has become a critical necessarily in many areas to assure the socio-economic well-being of societies. Climate, social and economic conditions, markets, consumer values and technology are only a few of the areas of change that the WWDR3 describes and discusses in detail. This cases study volume complements and compounds the analyses provided in the report by taking a critical look at the state of water resources, varying conditions and the resilience of national mechanisms for coping with change"--Foreword.
