Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Having manipulated water for irrigation, energy, and burgeoning urban centers, humans are facing the reality that although fresh water is renewable, it is as finite as any other resource. Countries, states, and cities are now scrambling to develop an intelligent, well-informed approach to mitigate the growing global water crisis. Water Ethics is based on the belief that responding tocontemporary water problems requires attending to questions of value and culture. How should we capture, store and distribute water? At what cost? For whom? Water Ethics will help readers understand how various moral perspectives, even when unstated, have guided and will continue to guide water policy around the globe. The world's emerging water crisis has ignited efforts to reconnect policy to human values. According to the book, all approaches to managing water, no matter how grounded in empirical data, involve moral judgments and cultural assumptions. Each of the book's six sections discusses a different approach to thinking about the relationship between water and humanity, from utilitarianism to eco-feminism to religious beliefs. Contributors range from Bartholemew, Ecumenical Patriarch of the Orthodox Church, to Nobel Laureate Elinor Ostrom and water policy expert Sandra Postel. "Water Ethics "will" "help readers understand how various moral perspectives have guided and will continue to guide water policy around the globe.
