catalog abstract ""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.

"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."--Jacket.".
