Water Alternatives-an Interdisciplinary Journal On Water Politics And Developmen

Journal Title：Water Alternatives-an Interdisciplinary Journal On Water Politics And Developmen

Water permeates all realms of life and many scientific disciplines. Water problems are often taken as technical issues, subject to rationalization, optimization and best addressed by expert knowledge. Yet, in the past three decades water issues have proved to be highly divisive and have generated heated debates. Engineer-centered approaches have been challenged or paralleled by concerns for the role of social organization, institutions, power structures and, more generally, politics; economists have assumed an increasingly prominent role in stressing the significance of demand management and economic efficiency; environmentalists have been active in introducing a more holistic view of ecosystems, underlining the importance of water for the environment and human health; social activists have vied for framing access to water as a human right.

水渗透到生活的各个领域和许多科学学科。水问题通常被视为技术问题，需要合理化、优化，最好通过专家知识来解决。然而，在过去的三年中，水问题已被证明是高度分裂的，并引发了激烈的辩论。以工程师为中心的方法受到了对社会组织、机构、权力结构以及更普遍的政治作用的关注的挑战或平行；经济学家在强调需求管理和经济效率的重要性方面发挥了越来越重要的作用；环保主义者一直在积极引入更全面的生态系统观点，强调水对环境和人类健康的重要性；社会活动家争相将获得水的权利视为一项人权。
