Book excerpt: An Overview of International Case Studies Prepared by the 3rd World Water Forum, Kyoto, Japan, 16-23 March 2003 This paper offers an analysis of 30 widely varying cases from 20 countries ranging in size from the tiny atoll of Kiribati in Micronesia, with a population of less than 100,000, to the giant People's Republic of China, with a population of 1.28 billion. The cases explore water issues as they affect the poor in many parts of the world, suggest lessons learned from the sometimes experimental interventions, and challenge some widely held beliefs about water management.
