Negotiating Water Governance
Author: Emma S. NormanPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317089170
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 341
Book Description
Those who control water, hold power. Complicating matters, water is a flow resource; constantly changing states between liquid, solid, and gas, being incorporated into living and non-living things and crossing boundaries of all kinds. As a result, water governance has much to do with the question of boundaries and scale: who is in and who is out of decision-making structures? Which of the many boundaries that water crosses should be used for decision-making related to its governance? Recently, efforts to understand the relationship between water and political boundaries have come to the fore of water governance debates: how and why does water governance fragment across sectors and governmental departments? How can we govern shared waters more effectively? How do politics and power play out in water governance? This book brings together and connects the work of scholars to engage with such questions. The introduction of scalar debates into water governance discussions is a significant advancement of both governance studies and scalar theory: decision-making with respect to water is often, implicitly, a decision about scale and its related politics. When water managers or scholars explore municipal water service delivery systems, argue that integrated approaches to salmon stewardship are critical to their survival, query the damming of a river to provide power to another region and investigate access to potable water - they are deliberating the politics of scale. Accessible, engaging, and informative, the volume offers an overview and advancement of both scalar and governance studies while examining practical solutions to the challenges of water governance.
Stakeholder Participation in Watershed Management Negotiations

Book Description
In water governance, where problems are controversial and value laden, different forms of stakeholder involvement in environmental dispute resolution and collaborative techniques have become more common, and in many circumstances have been required. Stakeholder participation is often recognized as fundamental to the legitimacy and success of negotiated environmental dispute decisions, but the intricacies of what influences stakeholders' participation has received less attention. This thesis examines factors that influenced stakeholder participation in the Klamath Basin Restoration Agreement and Klamath Hydroelectric Settlement Agreement of 2010. The thesis considers water as a part of power relationships of everyday life, which subjects it to social struggles along class, ethnic, and political lines for access and/or control. Also, that the power dynamics within/between stakeholder organizations is complex. The research draws on in-depth, semi-structured interviews of a sample recruited from stakeholder organizations in the Klamath River Basin (an interstate basin). Interviewees consisted of representatives from state and federal agencies, tribes, commercial fishing organizations, irrigation agencies, conservation organizations, and a utility company. Data analysis was completed using a qualitative grounded theory approach and results indicate that stakeholder participation is influenced by stakeholder objectives, past experiences, relationships, the political and geographic context, process legitimacy, the regulatory framework, personal values and identity, process support and progress, and process results. Factors that influenced participation in the Klamath context are consistent with factors influencing participation discussed in the literature but add a more nuanced and contextualized understanding of the dynamics that influence participation and its implications. This work suggests that the factors that influence participation not only inform whether stakeholders chose to participate (or not), but also informs how they participate in negotiated environmental dispute decisions.

Category : Water use
Languages : es
Pages : 113
Book Description
This guide aims to provide practical tools to non specialists-essentially water resources planners, river basin managers, non-governmental organizations and private sector operators. It links the most recent practice on payments for hydrological services to current discourse on integrated water resources management and looks into the different aspects to consider when exploring the potential feasibility of establishing reward or payments for ecosystem services related to water security. Pay demystifies concepts and jargon, and through a series of tools, case studies and stories from around the world, describes pitfalls to avoid and provides hints to fill gaps in knowledge. It is based on a demand-driven approach, linking text, tools and illustrations to key questions emerging from current and potential practitioners.
