Rationale

It seems that water policy and regulation is quite disorganized here on WP. I think there is a role for an article on WRP as developed in US Europe and Japan and disseminated to global. I may be wrong. See talk.GeoBard ^Rap 02:57, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have just added archive links to 5 external links on Water resource policy. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

Reorganizing this article a bit

I started reorganizing the issues in water resource policy section. So far I've worked on environmental issues, but I'm also planning on making sections about privatization, water as a human right, and diplomatic issues. Eventually I'm planning on working on the Institutional Participants and Structural Constraints parts as well to add citations and make it less US-focused. If you have any more suggestions, let me know. Gggg2123 (talk) 21:08, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction Contains Biased/Opiniated Concluding Sentence

"Mitigation and updated water resource policies will require interdisciplinary and international collaboration, including government officials, environmental scientists, sociologists, economists, climate modelers, and activists."

The word "require" suggests that this is the only solution. This could be improved by rephrasing to "could involve" or "could require." As written this sentence excludes other possible methods or mitigation or implementing policy.--Brookewilder (talk) 09:14, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
