Résumé : |
This paper seeks to capture the dynamics of achieving water security in a hypothetical water and growth "S-curve", which illustrates how a minimum platform of investments in water institutions and infrastructure can produce a tipping point beyong which water makes an increasingly positive contribution to growth and how that tipping point will vary in different circumstances. As there are inevitable trade-offs, achieving water security is never without social and environmental costs; in some countries these are significant, often unforeseen and even unacceptable. This brief analysis suggests that the only historically demonstrated path to achieving water security at the national level has been thtough investment in an evolving balance of complementary institutions and infrastructure, b[...]
This paper seeks to capture the dynamics of achieving water security in a hypothetical water and growth "S-curve", which illustrates how a minimum platform of investments in water institutions and infrastructure can produce a tipping point beyong which water makes an increasingly positive contribution to growth and how that tipping point will vary in different circumstances. As there are inevitable trade-offs, achieving water security is never without social and environmental costs; in some countries these are significant, often unforeseen and even unacceptable. This brief analysis suggests that the only historically demonstrated path to achieving water security at the national level has been thtough investment in an evolving balance of complementary institutions and infrastructure, but that lessons exist for following this basic path in more sustainable and balanced ways. Insights are provided for balancing and sequencing investments, adapting to changing |
