“Why a Water Soft Path, Why Now and What Then?”

“Why a Water Soft Path, Why Now and What Then?” is a new article co-authored by Oliver Brandes and David Brooks published in the June 2011 issue of the International Journal of Water Resources Development (available online April 2011).

The article outlines the water soft path approach to water planning and management, which differs fundamentally from conventional, supply-based approaches. It summarizes the first applications of water soft path analytics and suggests steps for improving recognition of the water soft path as a planning tool that can move management and policies towards economic, ecological, and social sustainability.
