At many places  regional and local water authorities, together with the water supply  industry, are involved in preventive action aimed at farming  practices. Three national case studies (Germany, The Netherlands, and  the United Kingdom) analyse these efforts within the context of  problematical national agricultural policy and the need to implement  EU directives on water quality. Additional case studies cover the role  of the European Union, while the same problem in a different setting  is analysed for the United States. The central question of how  national and European governments can reinforce the control capacity  of the actors at the regional and local level, is treated from the  theoretical perspective of the policy network approach.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1998-06-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792351047\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-5106-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 375\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46312100823180,"sku":"9780792351047","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792351047.jpg?v=1771518422","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792351047","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
