Abstract
Water management involves a plethora of issues—water supply, water treatment, water distribution, wastewater collection and processing, flood control, navigation, hydropower production, aquatic recreation—which interact with each other and with government policies. All are connected with standards, incentives, and regulations, and impact a variety of policy measures concerning each and every section of the economy. The complexity of management issues and interactions reflects the great diversity of water problems, which in innumerable ways affect the health and well-being of the population at large.
