Features: Based on the analysis of the characteristics of water resources such as liquidity, commonality, scarcity, and vulnerability, this book proposes that collective action and redistribution-based water management systems may be the reasons for or exacerbate water resource issues. To achieve effective protection of water resources, engineering-oriented water management policies are insufficient; improvements in water use and protection mechanisms are also needed in several aspects, including property rights systems, markets, information, organizations, rules, and government.
