Water management and water infrastructure are preconditions for
civilization. As the 21st century approaches, demands on our water resources
are increasing. In some regions these demands are exceeding capacities to
supply water. Our old water institutions, laws, regulations, treaties and
agreements are straining to meet the new demographic realities.
Throughout the world there is a growing need to build a capacity for
integrated water management in order to create new opportunities for
cooperation, community and peace building; to respond to scarcities; and to
manage local, national and trans-boundary conflicts.

Building this capacity for integrated water management calls for a new
dialogue between many different private and public communities - policy
making, diplomatic, administrative, financial, legal and
technical/scientific. This dialogue must also include the traditional water
communities - industrial, urban, agricultural and transportation.
Water Policy provides a forum for this dialogue. It invites these
communities into this forum both to shape and to be shaped by thinking and
debate on water policy worldwide.
