Abstract

By analysing the evolution of the regime along the last 130 years, the main concern of this chapter is to assess the extent to which water regime is currently moving towards more integrated schemes. The underlying hypothesis is that, while there have been
some attempts to introduce integrated approaches to water regime by regulation and policies since the eighties, integration has to a large extent been frustrated due to a series of
interrelated factors: policy inertia, intense territorial and social confrontations over the
resource, and water scarcity.
