"This volume represents a serious and ground-breaking attempt to compile a volume of articles covering the key area of water security. The work by Professors Jägerskog, Swain and Öjendal provides us with a much needed selection of seminal articles that will be of substantial use for anyone wanting to understand the relationship between water and security. These major works can serve as insights into water as a source of conflict - but, equally, as a source and catalyst for cooperation "

This is also the lesson I draw from this outstanding work by Professors Jägerskog, Swain and Öjendal.
