Summary:

This book, edited by Victoria Anker, Rachael Maysels, and Maria Valasia Peppa, explores the multifaceted issue of global water security. Through the lens of three principles—justice, knowledge, and collaboration—it examines case studies from diverse geographical regions such as Colombia, India, Ethiopia, Malaysia, and the UK. The book delves into topics like social and ecological justice, participatory water management, innovative data methodologies, and community-driven solutions. It highlights the challenges faced by marginalized communities, the role of political leadership, and the integration of cutting-edge technologies like AI and molecular microbiology in addressing water quality and flood management. The authors emphasize interdisciplinary and transnational collaboration to address the complex 'wicked problems' of water security. Designed for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners, the book advocates for sustainable and inclusive approaches to water resource management, resisting reductionist solutions while promoting environmental conservation, social equity, and economic sustainability.
