How Multilevel Societal Learning Processes Facilitate Transformative Change: A Comparative Case Study Analysis on Flood Management Ecology and Society
Becker, Gert; Institute for Environmental Studies, VU University Amsterdam; gert.becker@ivm.vu.nl; Sendzimir, Jan; International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis; sendzim@iiasa.ac.at.
Sustainable resources management requires a major transformation of existing resource governance and management systems. These have evolved over a long time under an unsustainable management paradigm, e.g., the transformation from the traditionally prevailing technocratic flood protection toward the holistic integrated flood management approach. We analyzed such transformative changes using three case studies in Europe with a long history of severe flooding: the Hungarian Tisza and the German and Dutch Rhine. A framework based on societal learning and on an evolutionary understanding of societal change was applied to identify drivers and barriers for change. Results confirmed the importance of informal learning and actor networks and their connection to...

Studying the implementation of the Water Framework Directive in Europe: a meta-analysis of 89 journal articles Ecology and Society
Boeuf, Blandine; water@leeds, University of Leeds; Sustainability Research Institute, School of Earth and Environment, University of Leeds; eebgb@leeds.ac.uk; Fritsch, Oliver; water@leeds, University of Leeds; School of Geography, University of Leeds; o.fritsch@leeds.ac.uk.
The Water Framework Directive (WFD) is arguably the most ambitious piece of European Union (EU) legislation in the field of water. The directive defines a general framework for integrated river basin management in Europe with a view to achieving “good water status” by 2015. Institutional novelties include, among others, water management at hydrological scales, the involvement of nonstate actors in water planning, and various economic principles, as well as a common strategy to support EU member states during the implementation of the directive. More than 15 years after the adoption of the WFD, and with the passing of an important milestone, 2015, we believe it is time for an interim assessment. This article provides a systematic review...

Continuity and Change in Social-ecological Systems: the Role of Institutional Resilience Ecology and Society
Pahl-Wostl, Claudia; Institute for Environmental Systems Research, University of Osnabrueck; pahl@usf.uni-osnabrueck.de.
In recent years recurring political, economic, and environmental crises require questioning and re-evaluating dominant pathways of human development. However, political and economic frameworks seem to encompass deeply rooted resistance to fundamental changes (e.g., global financial crisis, climate change negotiations). In an effort to repair the system as fast as possible, those paradigms, mechanisms, and structures that led into the crisis are perpetuated. Instead of preserving conventional patterns and focusing on continuity, crises could be used as an opportunity for learning, adapting, and entering onto more sustainable pathways. However, there are different ways not only of arguing for sustainable pathways of development but also of conceptualizing...

Water Governance in Chile and Canada: a Comparison of Adaptive Characteristics Ecology and Society
Hurlbert, Margot A.; University of Regina; margot.hurlbert@uregina.ca; Diaz, Harry; University of Regina; Harry.Diaz@uregina.ca.
We compare the structures and adaptive capacities of water governance regimes that respond to water scarcity or drought in the South Saskatchewan River Basin (SSRB) of western Canada and the Elqui River Basin (EB) in Chile. Both regions anticipate climate change that will result in more extreme weather events including increasing droughts. The SSRB and the EB represent two large, regional, dryland water basins with significant irrigated agricultural production but with significantly different governance structures. The Canadian governance situation is characterized as decentralized multilevel governance with assigned water licenses; the Chilean is characterized as centralized governance with privatized water rights. Both countries have action at all...

Exploring institutional adaptive capacity in practice: examining water governance adaptation in Australia Ecology and Society
Bettini, Yvette; University of Queensland, Institute for Social Science Research; Monash Water for Liveability Centre, Cooperative Research Centre for Water Sensitive Cities, Monash University; y.bettini@uq.edu.au; Brown, Rebekah R; School of Social Sciences, Monash Water for Liveability Centre, Cooperative Research Centre for Water Sensitive Cities, Monash University; Rebekah.Brown@monash.edu; de Haan, Fjalar J; School of Social Sciences, Monash Water for Liveability Centre, Cooperative Research Centre for Water Sensitive Cities, Monash University; Fjalar.dehaan@monash.edu.
Adaptive capacity is widely held as a key property of resilient and transformative social-ecological systems. However, current knowledge of the term does not yet address key questions of how to operationalize this system condition to address sustainability challenges through research and policy. This paper explores temporal and agency dimensions of adaptive capacity in practice to better understand how system conditions and attributes enable adaptation. An institutional dynamics lens is employed to systemically examine empirical cases of change in urban water management. Comparative analysis of two Australian cities' drought response is conducted using institutional analysis and qualitative system dynamics mapping techniques. The study finds that three...

Global Water Governance in the Context of Global and Multilevel Governance: Its Need, Form, and Challenges Ecology and Society
Gupta, Joyeeta; Amsterdam Institute for Social Science Research, University of Amsterdam; UNESCO-IHE Institute for Water Education; J.Gupta@uva.nl.
To complement this Special Feature on global water governance, we focused on a generic challenge at the global level, namely, the degree to which water issues need to be dealt with in a centralized, concentrated, and hierarchical manner. We examined water ecosystem services and their impact on human well-being, the role of policies, indirect and direct drivers in influencing these services, and the administrative level(s) at which the provision of services and potential trade-offs can be dealt with. We applied a politics of scale perspective to understand motivations for defining a problem at the global or local level and show that the multilevel approach to water governance is evolving and inevitable. We argue that a centralized overarching governance...

Institutional Fit and River Basin Governance: a New Approach Using Multiple Composite Measures Ecology and Society
Lebel, Louis; Chiang Mai University, Thailand; llebel@loxinfo.co.th; Nikitina, Elena; Ecopolicy, Moscow, Russian Federation; elenanikitina@bk.ru; Pahl-Wostl, Claudia; Institute of Environmental Systems Research, University of Osnabrueck, Germany; pahl@usf.uni-osnabrueck.de; Knieper, Christian; Institute of Environmental Systems Research, University of Osnabrueck, Germany; cknieper@uni-osnabrueck.de.
The notion that effective environmental governance depends in part on achieving a reasonable fit between institutional arrangements and the features of ecosystems and their interconnections with users has been central to much thinking about social-ecological systems for more than a decade. Based on expert consultations this study proposes a set of six dimensions of fit for water governance regimes and then empirically explores variation in measures of these in 28 case studies of national parts of river basins in Europe, Asia, Latin America, and Africa drawing on a database compiled by the Twin2Go project. The six measures capture different but potentially important dimensions of fit: allocation, integration, conservation, basinization, participation, and...

Political ecology of inter-basin water transfers in Turkish water governance Ecology and Society
Islar, Mine; Lund University Center for Sustainability Studies (LUCSUS); mine.islar@lucsus.lu.se; Boda, Chad; Lund University Center for Sustainability Studies (LUCSUS); chad.boda@lucsus.lu.se.
We explore the emergence of two contemporary mega water projects in Turkey that are designed to meet the demands of the country’s major urban centers. Moreover, we analyze how policy makers in the water sector frame problems and solutions. We argue that these projects represent a tendency to depoliticize water management and steer away from controversial issues of water allocation by emphasizing large-scale, centralized, technical, and supply-oriented solutions. In doing so, urgent concerns are ignored regarding unsustainable water use, impacts on rural livelihoods, and institutional shortcomings in the water sector. These aspirations build heavily on prevailing discourses of modernity, development, and economic growth, and how urban centers are...

Ethics and Water Governance Ecology and Society
Groenfeldt, David; Water-Culture Institute; Adjunct Associate Professor of Anthropology, University of New Mexico; dgroenfeldt@newmexico.com; Schmidt, Jeremy J; University of Western Ontario; jschmi7@uwo.ca.
Ethics and values are important dimensions of water governance. We show how a "values approach" contributes to an understanding of global water governance, and how it complements other perspectives on governance, namely management, institutional capacity, and social-ecological systems. We connect these other approaches to their own value systems and the ethical attitudes they engender. We then offer a way to explicitly incorporate, and where necessary adjudicate, competing value systems through a values-based approach to governance. A case of the Santa Fe River in New Mexico, USA illustrates how value systems are reflected in water policies and how these values affect governance priorities, such as in environmental flows. The values-based approach...

Thinking about the Future of Global Water Governance Ecology and Society
Dellapenna, Joseph W.; Villanova University School of Law, Villanova, Pennsylvania, USA; dellapen@law.villanova.edu; Gupta, Joyeeta; University of Amsterdam, Netherlands; j.gupta@uva.nl; Li, Wenjing; Attorney, Beijing; Wenjing_li@ymail.com; Schmidt, Falk; Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies, Potsdam, Germany; falk.schmidt@iass-potsdam.de.
Global water problems are likely to increase in severity, rendering existing governance approaches unable to cope with the resulting problems. We inquire into the relationship between global water governance structures, particularly those involving the United Nations, and look at how those structures are likely to respond to and shape projected water futures. Building on story lines of possible water futures taken from existing scenarios, we discuss the functions to be performed by global water governance. We aim to open a discussion about four global water governance options and to introduce the constraints and possibilities for each option. We argue that the nature of the water problem calls for structural changes. However unfeasible these may appear...

Managing urban water crises: adaptive policy responses to drought and flood in Southeast Queensland, Australia Ecology and Society
Head, Brian W.; The University of Queensland; brian.head@uq.edu.au.
In this case study, I examine the quality of decision-making under conditions of rapidly evolving urban water crises, and the adaptive policy challenges of building regional resilience in response to both drought and flood. Like other regions of Australia, Southeast Queensland has been subject to substantial cycles of drought and flood. I draw on resilience literature concerning sustainability, together with governance literature on policy change, to explain the changing awareness of urban water crises and the strategic options available for addressing these crises in this case study. The problem of resilience thinking opens up a number of important questions about the efficacy and adaptability of the policy system. The case provides insights into the...

Participation, politics, and panaceas: exploring the possibilities and limits of participatory urban water governance in Accra, Ghana Ecology and Society
Morinville, Cynthia; The University of British Columbia, Institute for Resources, Environment and Sustainability; cynthia.morinville@gmail.com; Harris, Leila M; The University of British Columbia, Institute for Resources, Environment and Sustainability; lharris@ires.ubc.ca.
Water governance debates have increasingly recognized the importance of adaptive governance for short- and long-term sustainability, especially with respect to increasing climate unpredictability and growing urbanization. A parallel focus on enhancing community participation pervades international development recommendations and policy literature. Indeed, there are often implicit and explicit connections made between the participatory character of water governance institutions and their adaptive capacity. The social-ecological systems literature, however, has also urged caution with respect to embracing panaceas, with increasing calls to be attentive to the limitations of proposed “solutions.” We discuss the parallels between the...

Nudging Evolution? Ecology and Society
This Special Feature, “Nudging Evolution? Critical Exploration of the Potential and Limitations of the Concept of Institutional Fit for the Study and Adaptive Management of Social-Ecological Systems,” aims to contribute toward the development of social theory and social research methods for the study of social-ecological system dynamics. Our objective is to help strengthen the academic discourse concerning if, and if so, how, to what extent, and in what concrete ways the concept of institutional “fit” might play a role in helping to develop better understanding of the social components of interlinkages between the socioeconomic-cultural and ecological dynamics of social-ecological systems. Two clearly discernible...

An overview of the development challenges and constraints of the Niger Basin and possible intervention strategies AgEcon
Namara, Regassa E.; Barry, Boubacar; Owusu, Eric S.; Ogilvie, Andrew.
The Niger River Basin covers 7.5% of the African continent and is shared between nine riparian countries. The human population of the basin is growing at an average annual rate of about 3%, which makes the Niger River Basin one of the areas with the highest fertility rates in the world. The desert margin is expanding; climate change is negatively impacting rainfall; and urbanization, industrialization, and the human and livestock population are threatening the quantity and quality of available water resources. The basin population already suffers from chronic poverty. Based on a literature review, this paper suggests some key water-related and other interventions that are capable of easing the basin's development challenges.
