This volume reproduces the proceedings of an Advanced Research Workshop held in Bishkek, which brought together all the most senior water resource managers in Central Asia, from Ministers to local experts and eminent academics. It describes, from the practitioner's perspective, the problems encountered in the region's efforts to implement integrated water resources management and solutions that have been put in place in order to address these.
From the reviews:
"This book is a collection of papers presented at a workshop held in Bishkek (Kyrgyzstan) in 2004. ? The book will accordingly be of great interest for those environmental academics, lawyers, practitioners and policy makers who seek deeper understanding of the implementation of IWRM."
