The Hydropolitics of Dams charts the troubled waters of 'heavy engineering' approaches to ecosystem management, exploring the history, benefits and problems of large dams. It then explores diverse ecosystem-based approaches to, and the political, economic and legal dimensions of, management of human interactions with the water cycle, concluding that a synthesis of approaches is needed.
