Reflections on Water: New Approaches to Transboundary Conflicts and Cooperation

This book offers conceptual and empirical support for the idea that the human relationship with water must move beyond rationalist definitions of water as product, property, and commodity. Depending on context, water may be a security issue, a gift of nature, a product of imagination, or an integral part of the natural or cultural ecology.

The contributors represent a range of disciplines, including anthropology, law, environmental analysis, political science, and social ecology. Included are case studies of the Imperial and Mexicali valleys on the U.S.-Mexico border, parks and rivers in Zimbabwe, salmon in the Pacific Northwest, the Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative, Lake Constance in Central Europe, the Black Sea, and the Inguri River between Azerbaijan and Georgia. "Water can enlarge perception and challenge the mind. For instance, con- sider the way objects on the floor of a pond seen through water appear clear and sharp, their colors bright. At the same time, images reflected from the surface of the pond can mirror perfectly the surrounding envi- ronment of sky, clouds, vegetation, and the very eyes of the observer. Yet water is more than a passive lens or looking glass. Water is an active agent, changing all it touches. Water cuts canyons into the surface of the earth, revealing the world’s most distant past. Water surges forward, creating new courses and possibilities yet to be appreciated by humans."
