Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary.This timely Research Agenda provides imaginative solutions to existing and emerging challenges for the study, application, and development of water law.

It explores the pressing issues of today and tomorrow, and identifies areas for further research to ensure legal regimes can respond to future challenges for water provision.

Ultimately, this Research Agenda provides a portfolio of options for responding to the uncertain natural, social, and political future of water.Providing a cutting-edge overview of the challenges facing water law locally, nationally, and internationally, A Research Agenda for Water Law will be a valuable resource for scholars of water law, environmental law, and public international law.
