Natural resources management in general, and water particular, are currently undergoing a major paradigm shift.Management practices have largely been developed implemented by experts using technical means based on designing systems that can be predicted controlled.In recent years, stakeholder involvement has gained increasing importance.Collaborative governance is considered to more appropriate for integrated adaptive regimes needed cope with the complexity of social-ecological systems.The...

Abstract In recent years the human dimension and governance issues have gained more in importance management of natural resources. One important aspect is to understand processes social learning that precede any collective decision‐making. The HarmoniCOP project developed a framework for resources can be interpreted as combining content well involvement achieve both technical relational outcomes. Social was taken into account new approach called participatory agent based simulation....
Those involved in floodplain restoration have to cope with historical conflicts between human and ecosystem needs.The topic is of high importance Europe due the European Water Framework Directive that requires and/or maintenance a "good ecological status aquatic ecosystems."However, seeming trade-off flood protection may change shift water management paradigm toward more integrated approaches, contrast command control approach past.This summarized guiding principle for Netherlands "Living...

Efforts to meet human water needs only at local scales may cause negative environmental externality and stress on the system regional global scales. Hence, assessing SDG targets requires a broad in-depth knowledge of dynamics availability use. Further, Interconnection trade-offs between different lead sub-optimal or even adverse outcome if set actions are not properly pre-designed considering such interlinkages. Thus scientific research evidence have role play in facilitating implementation...
