Overview

Water is a fundamental theme in the Western United States and other arid regions around the world. More recently, even wet areas have come to face similar problems of water scarcity and conflict, due to growing demands and competition for water.

How people use and manage water is the core concern of water policy. Although the scientific and technical aspects of water issues are essential, the social and political elements are now a more significant challenge.
