(Singapore) *** The InterAction Council is extremely grateful for the tireless work of the book’s editor, Harriet Bigas. Harriet’s diligence, perseverance, and eye for detail ensured the Council was able to draw on the work of the world’s leading water experts to illuminate the breadth and depth of our water security challenges and opportunities. We must also thank Zafar Adeel, Director of the United Nations University, Institute for Water, Environment and Health, our partner and publisher for this book. The Council is delighted to have collaborated on this project with an institution that leads the way globally in innovative research and solutions to the world’s water problems. The Council wants to especially acknowledge the contributions of Bob Sandford and Tim Morris. Bob not only has a wealth of knowledge but infectious enthusiasm for the subject of improving water policy, while Tim guides the Walter and Duncan Gordon Foundation in educating Canadians and citizens of the world about the centrality of water in our lives. Neither the InterAction Council’s High-Level Expert Group Meeting on the global water crisis nor this book would have happened without them. *** Acknowledgements vii
