Résumé : | Water issues need to be viewed in their entirety: not just water demand, but also water availability; not just irrigation water, but also drinking water; not just water quantity but also water quality. This notion has lead to the development of the concept of Integrated Water Resource Management. Due to the complexity of integrated water resources management, a need has arisen to develop adequate indicators to assess the extent of the problem and explore policy alternatives. The concept of Rational Use of Water, as discussed by Kolberg and Berbel and Mandi and Moujabber, and the review of indicator sets by Lutter are the focal point of the first part of this volume. The following two papers give examples of rational water use: Omrani and Ouessar for the oasis in Tunisia, and Elkassar and El-Fotouh for Egypt. Groundwater pollution as a threat to RUW, by Ghreib et al., and water use in ancient times by Buxó complete this part. The second part deals specifically with the issue of the value of water and the price that is asked to users of this water. Water pricing is a disputed issue. Some believe that water cannot be priced by all, but perhaps the service of providing water can be priced. Shatanawi and Naber demonstrate that water value is different from the water costs. Demir et al provide a method that indicates what costs can be recovered from users, based on an index of the living standard of the users. Polycarpou describes a mathematical approach to establish a water price taking into account the social and economical situation of users as well as the availability of water. Finally Giannoccaro et al., report their findings on optimization methods to compare the efficiency of various price policy options. The third and final part concerns the Water Framework Directive. This directive is a vital piece of law for member countries of the European Union, but its concepts are a source of inspiration for many other countries, close to Europe but also far away in China and the USA. The implementation of the WFD in Italy is the subject of the paper by Rana et al., Abdin compares the requirements of WFD with Egyptian water policy as does Choukr-Allah with the Moroccan. |
