Preface
The water crisis of the twenty-first century is not only a crisis of scarcity and water stress, but above all, a crisis in management. New and creative water management and governance possibilities can, on the other hand, be developed based on an interaction among researchers and managers by means of supporting management projects and training courses. Moreover, permanent strategic analysis and technological forecasting are increasingly necessary to reduce the vulnerability and the risks of shortages, deterioration of water quality and of scarcity. Based on this assumption and understanding that this is indeed a challenge that requires action, the Brazilian Academy of Science (ABC) put together a Water Resources Study Group, in March 2008, and gave them the task of gathering renowned Brazilian researchers who work with the water issue, to establish the Academy’s vision on strategies for optimizing uses of water resources in our country
