Abstract
This dissertation has examined the question of whether the water use permit system in Ethiopia creates water abstraction property rights as an intended consequence of treating 'water as an economic good' to address challenges of water allocation and exploitation problems in light of comparative perspectives. Driven mainly by the imperatives of global water policy and lending conditionalities of international and regional financial institutions, Ethiopia undertook water sector policy reform in the 1990s to mobilize financial resources to meet the increasing demand for water supply services.
