ABSTRACTIreland is well‐endowed with water resources and has one of the higher rates of water availability in Europe. However, regional variations in rainfall and population distribution give much less favourable conditions in the east of the country compared to other areas. Pollution of waters to date has been generally localized and moderate in intensity, although there is a trend towards eutrophication of the river systems. Piped water supplies, either from public or private schemes, are now available to nearly all dwellings in the state, both urban and rural. The same position holds for sewerage facilities in the urban areas, but nearly 25% of the rural population is still unserviced in this regard. Future development of services will place more emphasis on sewerage facilities, as outlined in the recently issued national action programme on the environment.

Vietnam is particularly concerned with possible sources of conflicts with other countries arising from the sharing of international rivers. The Vietnamese government has introduced a wide range of policies and is working with water-related institutions to better manage its water resources. (East Asian Pol/GIGA)

"Forming the 10th volume from this successful international conference series, this book presents the work of scientists, practitioners and other experts regarding recent technological and scientific developments associated with the management of surface and sub-surface water resources."

"Water is an increasingly critical issue at the forefront of global policy change, management and planning. There are growing concerns about water as a renewable resource, its availability for a wide range of users, aquatic ecosystem health, and global issues relating to climate change, water security, water trading and water ethics. This handbook provides the most comprehensive reference ever published on water resource issues. It brings together multiple disciplines to understand and help resolve problems of water quality and scarcity from a global perspective. Its case studies and 'foundation' chapters will be greatly valued by students, researchers and professionals involved in water resources, hydrology, governance and public policy, law, economics, geography and environmental studies"--

BOTH THE FEDERAL AND STATE GOVERNMENTS HAVE STRONG CONSTITUTIONAL CLAIMS AND POLITICAL RESOURCES WITH WHICH TO INFLUENCE THE ALLOCATION OF WATER RESOURCES. UNTIL THE 1970S, FEDERAL AGENCIES WERE ABLE TO DOMINATE IN SETTING GOALS AND OBJECTIVES. BOTH THE STATES AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT NOW EXERT DECISIVE INFLUENCE IN WATER POLICY.
