This update to Blue Revolution provides further evidence of the need to integrate land management
decision-making into the process of integrated water resources management. It presents the key
issues involved in finding the balance between the competing demands for land and water: for food
and other forms of economic production, for sustaining livelihoods, and for conservation, amenity,
recreation and the requirements of the environment. It also advocates the means and methodologies
for addressing them.
A new chapter, Policies, Power and Perversity, describes the perverse outcomes that can result
from present, often myth-based, land and water policies which do not consider these land and
water interactions. New research and case studies involving ILWRM concepts are presented for the
Panama Canal catchments and in relation to afforestation proposals for the UK Midlands.
