Addressing water scarcity in developing country contexts
Current conceptualizations of and approaches to scarcity tend to be economic-focused and institution driven with understated and underemphasized sociocultural dimensions.

Many rose to the positions of political and social prominence under British rule. The nature of this cultural and political accomodation and its dynamics provide an ideal ethnographic base for an exploration of ethnicity in Southeast Asia. This paper examines the…

In practical terms, however, this problem is solved for us since, t…
