In this day and age, it is widely argued that stakeholder engagement in water-related decision-making processes yields many benefits, including legitimacy, acceptance trust. Key legal frameworks, such as the European Water Framework Directive Aarhus Convention, have spurred emergence of formal forms engagement. On other hand, are spontaneous self-organized. This article investigates strategies used (government-led) informal (bottom-up) search a middle ground. To end, case studies...

Progress towards climate change aware regional sustainable development is affected by actions at multiple spatial scales and governance levels equally impacts these scales. Many authors policy practitioners consider therefore that decisions over policy, mitigation strategies capacity for adaptation to require construction coordination of arrive acceptable local, global management strategies. However, how such processes decision-aiding can occur be maintained improved time a major challenge...

One solution considered by researchers and policymakers to address environmental degradation is explore change within institutions. Three main approaches exist looking at how institutions in response social–environmental issues: institutional design, fit, bricolage. While all three are relevant, they face challenges when it comes actually supporting the process. This article advances idea that rather than trying craft blueprint through interventions, such interventions could act as...

Many negotiations take place between farmers, water suppliers, public servants, and environmentalists to allocate resources users in different areas. However, few quantify the consequences of alternatives solutions. Models that are used often oversimplified only into account elements easy calculate, or they too complex be for real time. In all cases, do not consider heterogeneity decision makers. The authors demonstrate agent-based modeling could help these by showing allocation rules with...

With multi-stakeholder issues such as climate change or population growth providing significant challenges for water managers, participatory approaches to planning and management are becoming increasingly popular. To aid stress mitigation in Bulgaria's Iskar region, a process with broad range of stakeholders was designed tested. Options adapted the region risk industrial domestic conservation were studied. The results suggest that strong research support is needed adapt theories into...

More and more literature practice recommend involving the public at early stages of policy cycle, i.e. issue identification, definition objectives design. Policy design involves, among others, identifying solutions, ideas or alternatives which may address objectives. Three main arguments are often put forward to advocate for involvement stakeholders, public, in design: a "user-centered" argument (i.e. better meet people's priorities), an innovation conceive new solutions) collective identify...
