Acknowledgements
I am grateful for my learning to many distinguished water experts and decisionmakers, on the one hand, and scholars and professionals in such fields as governance, social theories and ethics, on the other.
Within the last decade or so, there were students, friends and colleagues
that were helpful and sometimes essential in developing this book, and as such,
I am very much indebted to them. They are alphabetically: Andrew A. Keller,
Asit K. Biswas, Cecilia Tortajada, Chris J. Perry, Daniel P. Loucks, David Molden,
Dogan Altinbilek, Francisco N. Correia, François Molle, Gaspar J. Machado,
Gordon Young, Jun Xia, Laura E. Osinska, Miguel R. Freitas,
Muhammad T. Ahmad, Nader Saiedi, Patrick Lavarde, Peter H. Gleick,
Raya M. Stephan, Rui M. S. Pereira, Tom Soo, Tushaar Shah.
I also would like to thank the staff at Springer, particularly Loyola D’Silva and
Prasanna Kumar Narayanasamy, for their help and support.
