Although water problems have been traditionally perceived, understood, and acted on locally, recent progress in Earth-system simulation, remote sensing, and analysis of water governance is producing new perspectives on fresh water. The advances reveal previously unrecognized global forces at work driving local-scale problems. The stage is reset for water research and policy-making.Although water problems have been traditionally perceived, understood, and acted on locally, recent progress in Earth-system simulation, remote sensing, and analysis of water governance is producing new perspectives on fresh water.
