The book provides state-of-the-art guidance for developing a national strategy for sustainability in New Zealand as well as in other countries.

Water Rights and Sustainability

Edited by Klaus Bosselmann and Vernon Tava

This book, written by seven of New Zealand and Australia's leading scholars in environmental law and resource management, looks at water in lakes, rivers, coastal areas and water extracted from recycled sewerage. It examines particularly the application of property rights and possible market approaches to a resource that has always been thought to transcend conventional notions of ownership, also considering the potential assertion of native title to water.
