Abstract
Water security is a concept that has been increasingly used by governments and intergovernmental bodies such as Global Water Partnership, the World Economic Forum and academics, but, as yet, its definition remains unclear. One commentator has said that the definition depends on the disciplinary base of the people tasked with writing government policy (Cook and Bakker, 2012). In some ways, that is implicit in all paradigm shifts; a healthy debate can, however, create shared understandings. The modern world of water governance requires multi-disciplinarity, sound and ethical public consultation regarding the choices in using resources to achieve sustainable development.
