Lake Governance de Velma I. Grover

Lake Governance

Editat de Velma I. Grover, Gail Krantzberg
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 13 sep 2018
The Lake Governance book will focus on comparative analysis of governance structures by examining policy, legal and institutional structures of current transboundary commissions to develop a common framework for good governance of transboundary lakes. Cooperation among nations sharing natural resources is important for sustainable use of the shared resources. Lakes contribute a big part to GDP in most of the countries and in some cases are also responsible for providing fisheries (for food, source of protein and livelihood). Climate change and associated risks and uncertainties add more complexity to the problems. This book will explore current water governance challenges, knowledge gaps and recommend a framework for good lake governance.

Dr. Velma I. Grover has a vast experience in international development with international policy think-tank (United Nations University), consulting (UNESCO, Economic Research Forum, Egypt) and teaching at Universities (McMaster University and York University), thus developing a deep understanding of stakeholder issues and policy research (mainly in the area of water and waste). She has worked internationally on different water issues, ranging from capacity building in integrated water resources management, impact of climate change on the water cycle, trans-boundary lake basin management, integrating the supply of safe drinking water and sanitation to health and the reduction of poverty, and introducing good governance in Asia, Africa and North America. She was also invited by Oxford University to organize a half day workshop called "The Looming Water Crisis as the Himalaya Glaciers Melt" at the Smith School World Forum on Enterprise and Environment at Oxford in July 2009.
