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.

Food policy should serve humanity by advancing the humane goals of eradicating extreme poverty and hunger. However, these goals have recently been challenged by emerging forces including climate change, water scarcity, the energy crisis as well as the credit crisis. This paper analyses the overall role of these forces and population growth in redefining global food security. Specifically, global water supply and demand as well as the linkages between water supply and food security are examined. The analysis reveals that the water for food security situation is intricate and might get daunting if
