Check out this article, suggested by Carol Maclennan, for an optimistic response to Hardin's "Tragedy of the Commons," making the point that sustainable common resource management is not necessarily linked to any particular property rights regime.
It's been a while. I thought I would post an article, http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v467/n7315/pdf/nature09440.pdf A recent Nature article that gives you a summary of conflicts between providing increasing freshwater to supply human needs and providing for freshwater biodiversity. That was my last point last week.
I hope my post comes through. You may be unable to see the article without a library subscription to Nature.
