520	1		_a"This Report offers the most comprehensive assessment to date of the state of the world's freshwater resources, based on the collective input of twenty-three United Nations agencies and convention secretariats. The global picture is complemented by the presentation of seven pilot case studies of river basins representing different social, economic and environmental settings: Lake Titicaca (Bolivia, Peru), Senegal River (Guinea, Mali, Mauritania, Senegal), Seine-Normandy (France); Lake Peipsi/Chudskoe-Pskovskoe, (Estonia, Russian Federation); Ruhuna basins (Sri Lanka); Greater Tokyo (Japan); and Chao Phraya River (Thailand)." "With its numerous full-colour maps, country tables, references and coverage of a broad range of themes and real-world examples, the UN World Water Development Report - Water for People, Water for Life - should find its place as a valued, authoritative and well-worn reference book."--BOOK JACKET.
