When one reads any major national media anywhere in the world, it is very likely that there would be at least one article most days on extreme droughts and floods, heatwaves, wildfires, sea level rise, or on climate change. All these issues are directly related to water in one way or another. Furthermore, putting ‘water crisis’ into Google, on 31 May, would have brought 570 million results. While the discussions of global and national water crises have been a real growth industry in recent years and it may likely even accelerate in the coming years, the fact remains the world is not facing a water crisis because of actual physical scarcity of this natural resource but because of its poor management over the centuries. If water is properly managed, the world has enough water not only for now but also for 2100 when the global population will be higher than what it is currently, and economic activities will be much greater. Furthermore, we currently have the necessary knowledge, technology, management expertise and financing to manage water significantly better to avert future crises. Also, as knowledge and technology advance rapidly in the coming decades, the water profession will have many more ways in which to manage this resource immensely better. Thus, unlike the prevailing overwhelming pessimistic view, we are cautiously optimistic about the world’s water future. In this Editorial, we would like to share our views as to some of the challenges water management is facing and likely to face in the coming years, and how these could be resolved.

Existing concepts of water political economy focus on political bargaining within relatively static institutional and climactic environments. This article adds ‘post’ to water political economy to explore how non-stationary climate interacts with endogenous political institutions to create and magnify policy and behavioural uncertainties. These post-water political economy ideas are then applied to food security to explore potential future scenarios. The implications are terrible for poor people living in water-scarce, food-importing countries, but not much better for everyone else.

ABSTRACT The transition from rural to urban spurred by population growth and housing densification has implications for the planning of service provisions, not least domestic water supplies. The objective of this paper is to document the status of domestic water access and examine existing options for domestic water provision along the rural–urban transition. The study employs a combination of research methods in both data collection and analysis. Given the dual character (rural–urban) of the emerging urban centres, there is limited distinction in the domestic water services provided since they tend to be in between the two, in a state of transition.
