This essay collection reveals three overarching themes - the first relates to the centrality of water in tackling 21st century challenges such as peace, food and energy security as well as safeguarding sustainable livelihoods in poor regions and countries. The second theme focuses on governance and investment in water management. The third and final section entitled, 'Nor any drop to drink: Water and habitats for people and nature' provides a collection of essays that aims to raise two important issues. The first is to highlight the importance of the diverse social groups who, despite being central to the water scarcity debate, are often marginalised. The second important issue highlighted in the third section is to look beyond water itself in order to address the importance of rivers and aquifers.
