Review :
As global environmental and demographic changes heighten competition for limited water resources, we are thankful for efforts that attempt to harness science to achieve effective water-management policies. Shared Borders, Shared Waters is that rare book that seeks to promote this aim by drawing on the expertise of scientists and practitioners from sometimes-contentious border regions. In spite of its conflict potential, water connects rather than divides, giving us hope for increased cooperation and conflict avoidance. For the arid areas that are the focus of this collection, the book offers the promise of the best of science diplomacy. - Andras Szollosi-Nagy, Rector, UNESCO-IHE
