Contesting Hidden Waters: Conflict Resolution for Groundwater and Aquifers - Paperback

by W. Todd Jarvis (Author)

Unlike other books about conflict resolution and negotiations over water resources, this volume is unique in focusing exclusively on conflicts over groundwater and aquifers. The author explores the specific challenges presented by these "hidden" resources, which are shown to be very different from those posed by surface water resources.
