"The vocabulary and discourse of water resource management have expanded vastly in
recent years to include an array of new concepts and terminology, such as water security,
water productivity, virtual water and water governance. While the new conceptual lenses
may generate insights that improve responses to the world's water challenges, their
practical use is often encumbered by ambiguity and confusion. This book applies critical
scrutiny to a prominent set of new but widely used terms, in order to clarify their
meanings and improve the basis on which we identify and tackle the world's water challenges.
More specifically, the book takes stock of what several of the more prominent new
terms mean, reviews variation in interpretation, explores how they are measured, and
discusses their respective added value. It makes many implicit differences between
terms explicit and aids understanding and use of these terms by both students and
professionals. At the same time, it does not ignore the legitimately contested nature
of some concepts. Further, the book enables greater precision on the interpretational
options for the various terms, and for the value that they add to water policy and
its implementation"
