Title: Water Quality Management: An Introductory Framework 
Abstract:
	      Much has been written and discussed in recent years on the
 water crisis and the belief that the world may run out of water in the
 foreseeable future. The main issue, however, is not physical scarcity of
 water but poor management. It is primarily a crisis due to mismanagement.
 An important result of such poor management practices has been the
 continual deterioration of water quality on a global basis. The main
 emphasis in the past and present has been on water quantity management,
 including allocation. Managing water quality is still not receiving
 adequate attention, because it is significantly more complex, difficult
 and expensive compared with water quantity management.

Title: Water--A Reflection of Land Use: Understanding of Water Pathways and Quality Genesis 
Abstract:
	      The paper aims at a scientifically based synthesis of water
 quality genesis and pollution problems arising from human interventions in
 the landscape, physical as well as chemical. First, water quality genesis
 is explained in terms of sources, water pathways and some time scales
 involved. It goes on to look closer at chemical reactions along water
 pathways down a landscape catena, using the simple perception of a stream
 tube. The river quality outcome is explained in terms of a mix of water
 fractions with different hydrochemical signatures. Water quality is
 finally looked at in a 4000-year perspective, explaining some regional
 similarities and differences in the past. In looking towards the future, a
 potential further intensification and expansion in scale is seen as
 probable in response to driving forces at work, poor mitigation
 capabilities and the long response times involved.

Title: Regulating Nonpoint Source Water Pollution in a Federal Government: Four Case Studies 
Abstract:
	      Without effective regulation, nonpoint source water pollution
 is likely to increase as growth continues across the globe. This paper
 explores the history of and policy, legal and regulatory options for
 addressing nonpoint source water pollution in countries with a federal
 government. The legal mechanisms for controlling nonpoint sources of water
 pollution at the national and state level in four countries are identified
 and analysed. While the forms of control and level of governance at which
 these pollutants are regulated vary among the countries explored, the
 effectiveness of their control will depend largely on how strategic rather
 than patchwork the structure is.

Title: Introduction to Environmental and Economic Consequences of Hypoxia 
Abstract:
	      Low dissolved oxygen environments (known as hypoxic or dead
 zones) occur in a wide range of aquatic systems and vary in frequency,
 seasonality and persistence. While there have always been naturally
 occurring hypoxic habitats, anthropogenic activities related primarily to
 organic and nutrient enrichment related to sewage/industrial discharges
 and land runoff have led to increases in hypoxia and anoxia in both
 freshwater and marine systems. As a result, over the last 50 years there
 has been a rapid rise in the areas affected by hypoxia. The future status
 of hypoxia and its consequences for the environment, society and economies
 will depend on a combination of climate change (primarily from warming,
 and altered patterns for wind, currents and precipitation) and land-use
 change (primarily from expanded human population, agriculture and nutrient
 loadings). The overall forecast is for hypoxia to worsen, with increased
 occurrence, frequency, intensity and duration. The consequences of
 eutrophication-induced hypoxia can be reversed if long-term, broad-scale
 and persistent efforts to reduce nutrient loads are developed and
 implemented.

Title: Financing Water Quality Management 
Abstract:
	      In a context of greater pressure on water resources, ensuring
 continued and adequate access to safe water supplies will require the
 investment of significant funds and expertise in public sewerage and water
 and wastewater treatment infrastructure. After a short introduction, this
 paper examines the recent trends in the development of wastewater
 infrastructure. It then discusses the investment needs and reviews the
 potential sources of funding, before turning to recent trends in
 private-sector participation in water and wastewater treatment
 infrastructure and the framework conditions to make this participation
 work in the public interest.

Title: Water Governance in Aragon 
Abstract:
	      Good management of water resources goes beyond a mere
 political or socio-economic exercise. It is a responsibility on a global
 scale, which has to begin with appropriate actions at a local level. The
 addition of small local projects under unified planning, regulation and
 management criteria will determine an inflection point in sustainable
 management of water at a planetary level. It is like a chamber orchestra
 where every instrument plays its role in a certain location, but always
 under the unified coordination of a conductor who sets the "tempo", the
 intensity, the rhythm and the idiosyncrasy of each individual action.

Title: Water Management in the Ebro River Basin: An Approach to the 2010-15 Hydrological Plan 
Abstract:
	      Water management professionals generally recognize that the
 management of water in rivers and aquifers is more efficient and
 sustainable at the river basin level than at the political and
 administrative levels of regional administrations. The development and
 consolidation of the river basin authorities has not been without
 difficulties. Experience has shown that the Spanish river basin
 confederations, the French water agencies and the US valley authorities
 have been successful. There have also, however, been failures, many
 attributable to the difficulties of separating the political power of
 regions and nation-states. In the Ebro River Basin, integrated water
 resources management was applied even when it crossed the administrative
 borders of the Autonomous Communities; otherwise, the water produced by
 the Ebro would be one-quarter of its current volume. Thanks to the
 integrated management, the Ebro economic region is supplied by major
 reservoirs, especially the Ebro reservoir. Its major irrigation systems,
 the Aragón and Catalonia Canal, Bardenas, the Ebro Delta and others, are
 projects that were conceived under the principle of integrated water
 management.

Title: Water Quality in Zaragoza 
Abstract:
	      The severe droughts of the 1990s made clear that the
 Strategic Plan of Zaragoza and the Action Plan of Local Agenda 21 in terms
 of water management were not appropriate to satisfy the development needs
 of its economy and the future demands of a growing population. In
 response, the city redefined its water management model, from one of
 continuous exploitation of resources to the search for solutions to reduce
 consumption. The city's efforts included a comprehensive programme of
 stakeholder involvement, rehabilitation of drinking water treatment and
 distribution infrastructure, improvement of water quality, and reform of
 the billing system. After 12 years, the city has managed to deduce its
 total consumption by nearly 30% and improve the quality of its water very
 significantly.

Title: Water Quality Management in China: The Case of the Huai River Basin 
Abstract:
	      This paper addresses the importance of water quality
 management and the impacts of water pollution control and water
 development projects. The case study of the Huai River Basin is an example
 of the major challenges on water quality management that China is facing,
 and why water quality management will play a key role on its sustainable
 use and management. Three urgent issues for the Huai River Basin are
 identified: water and ecosystem interactions on the river system due to
 the impacts of increasing pollution and water development projects;
 comprehensive assessment on impact of dams and sluices on changes of river
 flow regimes, water quality and ecosystems; and improvement of water
 quality, and the restoration of river ecosystems through state-of-the-art
 environmental monitoring and integrated water management practices.

Title: Water Quality Management in Egypt 
Abstract:
	      One of the greatest water-related challenges facing Egypt is
 the pollution of its surface and ground water resources from agricultural,
 domestic and industrial sources. The cost of environmental degradation due
 to water quality deterioration is relatively high with serious health and
 quality-of-life consequences. The closed water system of the country makes
 it more vulnerable to quality deterioration in a northward direction. The
 water quality of Lake Naser upstream of the High Aswan Dam and the main
 stem of the River Nile from Aswan to Cairo is good and traces of
 pollutants, if any, are far below the levels set in the quality standards
 set by Law 48. However, water quality in the irrigation and drainage
 canals deteriorates downstream and reaches alarming levels in the Delta.
 Monitoring water quality of the Nile system (Lake Naser, the main Nile and
 its branches, irrigation canals, drains and groundwater aquifers) started
 as early as the 1980s. The complexity of water quality management required
 the development of other mechanisms including policies, institutional and
 governance arrangements, infrastructure for monitoring and analytic
 laboratories, awareness and skilled human resources. This paper describes
 the different aspects of water quality management in Egypt and the current
 state as it stands by the end of the first decade of the 21st century. It
 also presents the methodology used in turning several monitoring
 programmes managed by different institutions into one national integrated
 system. It argues that water quality management is multifaceted and while
 progress along one aspect could be significant, other aspects could be
 lacking due to multiple reasons, the high cost involved in pollution
 reduction at the source is not the least.

Title: A New Mindset for Integrated Water Quality Management for South Africa 
Abstract:
	      The aim is to develop a conceptual model for aligning water
 resource quality and drinking water quality management. The model is based
 on the premise that good water quality is in everyone's best interests.
 Current management approaches attach responsibility for good water quality
 at a high level. The integrated water quality management approach "breaks
 down" the management of water quality into smaller management units and
 establishes a horizontal and vertical reporting framework through the
 application of a generic business process. The business process requires
 the identification of critical risk factors and critical control points in
 each management unit. The results of the project were the development of
 the water use cycle, as a context for the model, and the development of a
 basic integrated water quality management. A case study is currently
 underway in the Breede River catchment of the Western Cape Province of
 South Africa in order to refine the proposed model.

Title: Water Quality and Health in Poor Urban Areas of Latin America 
Abstract:
	      Water quality is largely absent in the water policy debate
 and analysis in the Latin American region. Although there is no
 disagreement as to the negative impact of unsafe and poor-quality water on
 human health, there is very little scrutiny and policy discussion on the
 matter. Considering data from different case studies on health and
 environment in poor urban areas in the region, this paper reviews some of
 the knowledge on water quality and human health in Latin American cities.
 Furthermore, conclusions as well as recommendations are drawn highlighting
 policy-oriented approaches to this problem.

Title: Conceptual Framework for Protecting Groundwater Quality 
Abstract:
	      A conceptual framework is defined to establish safeguard
 zones in groundwater bodies intended for drinking water according to the
 requirements of the Water Framework Directive. For this, the foundations
 of a three-phase methodology within a dynamic process are proposed. The
 results of the first two phases are presented, which contemplate the
 distribution of groundwater body abstraction points as well as
 hydrogeological criteria, evaluation of pressures and aquifer
 vulnerability, in addition to the defined wellhead protection areas of
 abstraction points. As a final proposal, it will be necessary for
 competent authorities to create a recommendations and restrictions
 guideline, which should be integrated into the rest of the policies
 related to land-use planning in order to protect groundwater adequately.

Title: Evolution of Water Management in Mexico 
Abstract:
	      The recognition of the need for an integrated and humane
 management of water resources has been gradually developed as a result of
 several major international conferences and forums. These, together with
 the World Water Vision, have reinforced the need for a comprehensive
 assessment of global freshwater resources as a basis for implementing a
 more integrated management of water. The recommendations suggested in the
 meetings and international forums have undoubtedly helped the development
 of water resources management in Mexico. In general, however, to implement
 them effectively and efficiently, it is necessary to develop financial
 mechanisms available to the payment capacity of each country and establish
 reasonable deadlines for meeting the goals. This paper analyses the impact
 of the recommendations arising from international meetings on water
 management in Mexico as well as their compliance in terms of water and
 wastewater management.

Title: Agriculture and Water Pollution: Farmers' Perceptions in Central Mexico 
Abstract:
	      Agricultural nonpoint discharges represent a major problem in
 Mexico. However, the perception of farmers toward water-quality issues is
 critical for the potential acceptance of environmental measures. In order
 to assess farmers' perceptions on water quality and agricultural
 practices, questionnaires were given to 145 farmers in an irrigation
 district in Central Mexico. It was found that farmers do not reckon water
 quality in the Lerma River to be a serious environmental problem and the
 stated willingness to diminish the use of pesticides and fertilizers
 depended on farm size. Smaller farmers were more reluctant to adopt
 sustainable practices than bigger ones. Therefore, differentiated
 agro-environmental policies might be more effective for dealing with
 non-point source water pollution.

Title: Adapting to climate change: towards societal water security in dry-climate countries 
Abstract:
	      Water security needs priority in adaptation to global change.
 Most vulnerable will be the semi-arid tropics and subtropics, home of the
 majority of poor and undernourished populations. Policies have to
 distinguish between dry spells, interannual droughts and long-term climate
 aridification. Four contrasting situations are distinguished with
 different water-scarcity dilemmas to cope with. Some countries, where the
 climate is getting drier, will have to adapt their water policy to
 sharpening water shortage. In many developing countries it will be wise to
 go for win-win approaches by picking the low-hanging fruit, i.e. taking
 measures needed in any case. A fundamental component of adaptive
 management will be social learning to help people recognize their
 interdependence and differences. Rethinking will be needed regarding how
 we manage water for agricultural production, integrating solutions with
 domestic, industrial and environmental uses. Adaptation to global change
 will benefit from basin management plans, defining medium- and long-term
 objectives. Conceptual clarity will be increasingly essential. Water - so
 vital in the life support system - needs to be entered into climate change
 convention activities.

Title: Australian water policy in a climate change context: some reflections 
Abstract:
	      This paper focuses on Australian water reform in a climate
 change context over the period between mid-2006 and end 2011, with a
 particular focus on the Murray Darling Basin (MDB). In Australia, during
 this period, the potential impacts from climate change became more central
 to the policy debate, and the implementation of what can be said to be a
 large-scale climate change adaptation programme commenced. The paper
 outlines the policy framework adopted by the government of the day and
 then draws out some of the key issues for water management against this
 background, and the attendant increased uncertainty.

Title: Characterizing the water extremes of the new century in the US South-west: a comprehensive assessment from state-of-the-art climate model projections 
Abstract:
	      The impact of climate change scenarios in the hydrology of
 the Verde River basin (Arizona) is analyzed using an ensemble of
 downscaled climate model results, SPI analysis, and two hydrologic models
 of different complexity. To assess model uncertainty, 47 ensemble members
 combining simulations from 16 global climate models and 3 emission
 scenarios were used to provide an uncertainty envelope in the hydrologic
 variables. The analysis shows that simple lumped models and more complex
 distributed runoff models can yield similar results. Results show that
 under all scenarios, the distribution functions of hydrologic states will
 shift towards lower values and droughts will progressively become more
 frequent, longer and more intense.

Title: Impacts of climate change on the hydrological cycle in Mexico 
Abstract:
	      Mexico is implementing policies and actions aimed at
 mitigating and adapting to the impacts of climate change without
 compromising the country's development process. The plan is to reduce
 vulnerability through the implementation of the Special Programme on
 Climate Change 2009-2012, which includes 105 objectives and 294 goals
 shared among a number of national institutions. The National Water
 Commission (CONAGUA) is responsible for measuring the most important
 variables of the hydrological cycle and addressing the impact of climate
 change. As such, CONAGUA is in charge of attaining 41 of the 294 goals
 stated in the Special Programme on Climate Change, which include 37 of the
 goals set in the National Water Programme 2007-2012 (PNH). It is expected
 that since a great number of goals are shared by both schemes this can
 help assure their fulfilment and prove useful in working towards the
 sustainable use of water, mindful of climate change considerations.

Title: Climate change projections of streamflow in the Iberian peninsula 
Abstract:
	      This contribution analyzes the impact on Iberian water
 resources of anthropogenic climatic change, using the output from four
 simulations obtained from two coupled general circulation models (HadCM2
 and PCM) under the A2 and B2 emissions scenarios. The results show that
 the magnitude of those impacts will depend on the level of global warming
 and the geographical characteristics of each watershed, although a
 reduction in runoff, principally in spring and summer, and a change in the
 timing of the maximum discharge, especially in high-altitude basins, will
 be two the most noteworthy features.

Title: Downscaled climate change projections over Spain: application to water resources 
Abstract:
	      Evaluation of impacts, vulnerability and adaptation to
 climate change for sectors sensitive to climate conditions requires
 climate change projections with adequate resolution, both spatial and
 temporal. These projections are affected by uncertainties coming from a
 number of sources. The probabilistic approach is the natural framework for
 integrating uncertainties of diverse origin in the estimation of climate
 evolution. Two state-of-the-art data-sets are presented, providing
 downscaled climate change projections over Spain based on ensembles of
 projections for a variety of emission scenarios, global models and
 downscaling techniques. Results are applied to the Spanish region of
 Aragón as an example of the estimation of mean and extreme precipitation
 changes for the twenty-first century and their uncertainty.

Title: The application of hydrological planning as a climate change adaptation tool in the Ebro basin 
Abstract:
	      This paper presents an example of how expected climate change
 effects have been factored into hydrological planning for the Ebro River
 basin in Spain. Between now and 2030, a 5% reduction in the basin's water
 resources is foreseen, along with a drop in the hydrographs' snow
 component and an increase in dry periods. This article explores the
 several measures to help reduce the basin's vulnerability to climate
 change as considered in the technical component of the Ebro Basin
 Hydrological Plan 2010-2015. These adaptation tools include wastewater
 treatment, control of water intakes, water reuse, agro-environmental
 measures, modernization of irrigated areas, improvement of urban water
 supplies, removal of contaminated sediments, improvement of regulation
 infrastructure to ensure water supply and control inundations,
 optimization of hydroelectric exploitation, and improvement of drought and
 flood management.

Title: Measures against climate change and its impacts on water resources in Greece 
Abstract:
	      This paper examines the actions toward the reduction of
 greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere that Greece has implemented to
 comply with international conventions and the Kyoto Protocol. It also
 concerns the analysis and processing of climate variables and the
 assessment of the impact of climate change on water resources in Northern
 Greece and on some critical water management issues, such as reservoir
 storage and water supply for agriculture and domestic use. Initially, a
 monthly conceptual water balance model was applied to estimate runoff
 values in the entrance of the Polyfyto reservoir under the UKHI
 equilibrium scenario referring to the year 2100. It was found that the
 mean annual runoff, mean winter runoff and summer runoff values will be
 reduced. Increases of the risks associated with the annual quantities of
 water supply have been observed.

Title: Water and disasters: a review and analysis of policy aspects 
Abstract:
	      Recent years have witnessed a significant increase in the
 human and economic impacts of water disasters. During 2000-2010, they
 accounted for almost 90% of all natural disasters, 96% of the people
 affected (2.4 billion) and 76% of the economic damages (approximately USD1
 trillion) caused by natural disasters globally. It is ironic that despite
 the centrality of water disasters, relatively little attention has been
 paid to them in the discourse on water resources. Against this backdrop,
 five broad groups of water policies - risk management, vulnerability
 assessment, capacity building and resilience, disaster risk
 reduction-development linkage and institutional design - were examined to
 determine their adequacy and effectiveness in successfully dealing with
 water disasters. It was found that most policies have serious shortcomings
 that need to be addressed. Drawing on this study, a number of specific
 policy recommendations are offered to correct these deficiencies. The
 study has further found that there is an urgent need to generate
 research-grounded data to support informed policy making on water
 disasters. With this in view, five priority research areas have been
 identified.

Title: Managing drought risk in water supply systems in Europe: a review 
Abstract:
	      The frequent occurrence of drought and the increasing
 severity of its impacts make the traditional emergency approach inadequate
 and call for a risk-management approach, particularly in order to reduce
 water shortages in water supply systems. This paper attempts to provide a
 review of criteria, methods and tools for the management of drought risk
 in water systems, beginning with a discussion of legislative and
 institutional frameworks for coping with drought; objectives and contents
 of drought-planning instruments (at strategic, tactical and emergency
 levels) are then discussed. The review focuses on: 1. the drought indices
 to be used for an effective monitoring and early warning system; 2. the
 methods for assessing the risk of water shortage due to drought; and 3.
 the measures for reducing societal vulnerability to droughts and
 mitigating their impacts. Better coordination of drought-preparedness
 planning tasks, adaptive operation of water supply systems to prevent
 severe shortages, and more extensive use of early drought warning are
 suggested. Further research needs are identified.

Title: Policy Brief: The urban water challenge 
Abstract:
	      There are major challenges associated with the provision of
 urban water services which meet acceptable standards of service for
 present and future generations. Unless there is significant investment in
 the underground networks there will be an increasing loss of access to
 acceptable service. There has been a mistaken belief that water resource
 difficulties can be solved through "hours of day" water rationing.
 Successful case studies help to point the way forward. In the developed
 world there are wake-up calls for major investment. In many parts of the
 developing world the most fundamental change required is the adoption of a
 policy of continuous ("24/7") supply. There should be sustainable cost
 recovery from water charges, with subsidies being targeted to make
 provision for low-income groups. With rapid urbanization, water service
 planning has to be integrated with city planning.

Title: Enhancing the performance of water prices and tariff structures in achieving socially desirable outcomes 
Abstract:
	      Water prices can convey critical information regarding
 scarcity, availability, and opportunity costs. Carefully crafted water
 tariffs enable public officials to achieve socially desirable objectives,
 such as providing subsidies to poor households and discouraging
 inefficient water use by higher-income households and commercial
 customers. Yet water tariffs have not been fully successful in generating
 desired outcomes, particularly in urban areas of developing countries.
 Some of the shortcomings of water tariffs in light of the desired goals of
 equity, efficiency and sustainability are reviewed. Experience with
 increasing block-rate tariffs is highlighted, and the potential usefulness
 of a volume-differentiated tariff in conveying subsidies to poor
 households in developing countries is demonstrated.

Title: A global survey of urban water tariffs: are they sustainable, efficient and fair? 
Abstract:
	      This paper examines the relations between tariffs and
 sustainability, efficiency and equity, using a unique data-set for 308
 cities in 102 countries. Higher water tariffs are correlated with lower
 per capita consumption, smaller local populations, lower water
 availability, higher demand and a lower risk of shortage. Aggregating to
 the national level, higher tariffs are correlated with higher GDP and
 better governance. A different country-level analysis shows that a higher
 percentage of the population with water service is correlated with better
 governance, higher GDP and a greater risk of water shortage. The relation
 between water prices and service coverage is statistically inconsistent.

 critical realist framework for a historical analysis of demand modelling
 practices and their role in long-term water resource management in England
 and Wales from 1945 to 2010. It then focuses on recent domestic demand
 models in the English and Welsh private water sector. A critique of
 scientific realist assumptions regarding demand models is presented and
 the role of the current regulatory environment in encouraging a highly
 strategic use of demand models is discussed. Policy recommendations toward
 more effective modelling practices are made.

Title: The dynamics of privatization and regulation of water services: a comparative study of two Spanish regions 
Abstract:
	      As in other economic activities, privatization of water
 delivery has not resulted in the retreat of the public sector, but rather
 a change in the way in which the government intervenes in the water
 industry. This paper illustrates this situation by comparing urban water
 services in two Spanish regions, Andalusia and Catalonia. Water service
 delivery is structured very differently in these two regions with respect
 to private involvement, the degree of market concentration and, as a
 result, problems in competition. The characteristics of the two regions'
 respective regulatory agencies reflect the different paths taken to
 privatization: in Catalonia private firms have much more tradition and
 operate throughout the region; in Andalusia their introduction has been
 much more recent and limited in scope.

Title: Public choice of urban water service management: a multi-criteria approach 
Abstract:
	      Local policy makers in developed countries have to make
 decisions in increasingly complex scenarios. Consequently, they should use
 all the tools available when deciding which management option is the most
 suitable for urban water service, given how important that service is and
 the variety of criteria involved in making such a decision. This article
 employs 'analytic hierarchy process' techniques to perform an <italic>ex
 post</italic> analysis of the decision to transfer the management of the
 urban water service in Granada (in southern Spain) to a public-private
 partnership. The main conclusion is that the decision was rational, in
 that it was the best possible alternative considering the hierarchy of
 preferences at the time. Furthermore, confronting the serious financial
 difficulties faced by the local government took clear precedence over
 other aspects when the decision was taken.

Title: Adopting versus adapting: adoption of water-saving technology versus water conservation habits in Spain 
Abstract:
	      Issues of water scarcity can be ameliorated through household
 adoption of water-saving technologies and by adaptation of consumption
 behaviour. In this paper the determinants of the adoption of
 water-efficient devices and of water-saving habits in Spain are analyzed
 using data from 27,000 households. This includes information on choices
 about self-reported conservation habits and decisions about the adoption
 of water-saving equipment. The findings show that educational campaigns
 have a strong positive effect on both decisions to undertake investments
 and decisions to adapt habits. These results also allow campaigns to be
 aimed at certain socio-economic groups identified in the econometric
 analysis.

Title: Assessing the impact of price and non-price policies on residential water demand: a case study in Wisconsin 
Abstract:
	      This paper reports an investigation of the impact of price
 policies (PP) and non-price policies (NPP) on residential water demand.
 Using a sample of US water utilities located in Wisconsin, residential
 water demand was estimated by taking into account the fact that some of
 the characteristics of local communities that determine PP and NPP choices
 may also influence residential water consumption levels. It is &#xFB01;rst
 shown that neglecting endogeneity of PP or NPP may lead to biased
 parameter estimates. Second, it is demonstrated that the policy mix (PP or
 NPP) may be as important as the level of prices for determining water
 consumption. Lastly, evidence is provided that dissemination efforts made
 by local communities to promote NPP drive the effectiveness of those
 policies.

Title: Water demand management: review of literature and comparison in South-East Asia 
Abstract:
	      The present paper reviews the literature on urban water
 demand management and compares practices in South-East Asia. Existing
 literature is mostly from developed economies and is concerned mainly with
 elasticity studies, which are not relevant to developing countries because
 their main problem is non-revenue water. Cities in South-East Asia employ
 both price and non-price mechanisms to regulate demand. Price mechanisms
 include increasing block tariffs, fixed, volumetric, raw water, and
 conservancy charges, rebates, cross-subsidies and periodic rebasing.
 Non-price mechanisms such as management, engineering and regulatory
 mechanisms, as well as public education and community involvement, play
 important roles. More studies are needed to establish their efficacy and
 cost-effectiveness.

Title: Water service quality in Tanzania: access and management 
Abstract:
	      Problems related to water access and quality are significant
 in several countries around the world. Thus water management becomes a key
 issue, especially in developing countries, where the institutional and
 regulatory context is not always properly designed. The aim of this
 research is to analyze the residential water service in Tanzania, using
 data taken from several government reports and the survey "Views of the
 People 2007". This survey includes information on perceived problems and
 improvements on water services, allowing identification of the key drivers
 of Tanzanian households' perceptions of water services. The
 best-performance framework is also identified, and some policy
 recommendations are provided.

Title: State-of-the-art review: designing urban water tariffs to recover costs and promote wise use 
Abstract:
	      Urban water tariffs vary substantially across cities and
 regions, for reasons that reflect water scarcity conditions, local or
 regional objectives, and political considerations. Comparisons of average
 water prices across regions are not generally meaningful, as the prices
 are not weighted or adjusted to account for variation in socio-economic or
 political characteristics. This study endeavours to describe the observed
 variation in water tariffs, with the goal of highlighting key features and
 the degree to which some tariff programs achieve local objectives. To this
 end, the domestic and non-domestic water and wastewater tariffs in 60
 cities across 43 countries were examined. The non-weighted average of the
 per unit domestic water and wastewater bills in the cities considered was
 USD 2.10/m-super-3. The average per unit bills in Asia and Africa were
 generally lower than those in Western Europe, North America and Australia.
 On average, households spend about 1.5% of their monthly incomes on water
 and wastewater bills. In Asia and Africa, the average unit bills for the
 non-domestic sector were higher than those for the domestic sector,
 suggesting cross-subsidy. The study also analyzed the components of a
 metered tariff schedule with regard to the goals of cost recovery, demand
 management and affordability. The article also discusses the effectiveness
 of existing tariffs in addressing local challenges in the context of water
 pricing examples from Singapore, Los Angeles and Manila.

Title: Economic benefits and security implications of trading hydropower through transboundary power grids in Asia 
Abstract:
	      Countries with large potential for hydropower generation can
 seize large benefits by connecting their hydropower stations to
 transboundary power grids and trading electricity with other nations. Such
 benefits include income from selling hydropower; construction of
 hydropower stations not otherwise financially viable; certified emission
 reduction (CER) credits from a clean development mechanism as defined in
 the Kyoto Protocol; and allocation of more resources for environment
 conservation and resettler livelihood rehabilitation. Buyer countries can
 also reap gains from such a partnership, namely the importing of cheap
 electricity, diversification of energy sources to improve disaster
 preparedness, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, and CER credits in
 the developing world. Possible shortcomings in terms of regional and
 domestic uncertainty should be addressed in designing and implementing
 transboundary power grids so that these impacts are prevented or
 mitigated.

Title: Institutional legitimacy: an exegesis of normative incentives 
Abstract:
	      This paper reviews the current thinking on institutions and
 finds that the notion of legitimacy is incompletely developed in the
 pervasive collective action model of new institutional economics. It
 argues that institutional legitimacy should be conceived as a set of
 <italic>normative incentives</italic> compelling people to uphold this
 institution and providing incentives for trust and successful
 institutional change. The result is a legitimacy model that allows us to
 better understand policy success and failures in water reform, by
 exploring both rules of the game and principles derived from narrative and
 hermeneutic analyses.

Title: Economic approaches to water management in Australia 
Abstract:
	      This paper focuses on the use of three economic approaches to
 water management in Australia that can increase the efficiency of water
 use and water security, thus providing a fillip to sustainability and
 economic growth: the establishment of water markets and water pricing;
 government spending; and the adoption of legislation and economic
 regulations promoting the development of water markets. Australia is well
 down the reform path, but needs to complete implementation. Australia's
 challenge is relevant to many countries struggling with demand and supply
 water imbalances, and the consequential declining environmental outcomes
 in rural areas and persistent water shortages in urban areas.

Title: Incentives for ecosystem service supply in Australia's Murray-Darling Basin 
Abstract:
	      For Australia, the Murray-Darling Basin is a significant
 ecological and socioeconomic asset. During the Millennium Drought (1997 -
 2010), severe ecosystem service losses provided impetus for water policy
 reform. With around $8.9 billion committed, the Commonwealth's two-pronged
 water recovery strategy is to purchase water entitlements for the
 environment and support investment in improving irrigation infrastructure
 efficiency. In this paper, we consider the design of a complementary
 payment for ecosystem services pathway which using water as payment can
 provide incentives for local ecosystem service supply.

Title: Can India raise agricultural productivity while reducing groundwater and energy use? 
Abstract:
	      This paper provides empirical evidence that power tariff
 reform with <italic>pro rata</italic> pricing and higher unit rates for
 electricity not only would promote equity, efficiency and sustainability
 in groundwater use, but also would be socio-economically viable for
 small-holder farmers. It shows that the arguments of "high transaction
 cost" and "political infeasibility" used against metering are valid only
 in specific regional contexts and under increasingly outmoded
 power-pricing and agricultural-production regimes, if one considers the
 recent advancements in remote sensing and the facts that overexploited
 regions have a low density of wells and are mostly owned by farmers who
 constitute a small segment of the farming community.

Title: Ecosystem-based management in challenging conditions: implications of a case study from north-eastern Turkey 
Abstract:
	      This paper studies ways to implement ecosystem-based
 management (EBM) regardless of data and governance conditions. It focuses
 on a case study from Turkey and considers how EBM can be implemented under
 certain specific challenging conditions. The case study provides
 conceptual context diagrams of actual and hypothetical situations and then
 compares them using soft systems methodology. This comparison emphasizes
 the need for a firm political will that fully enforces regulations on the
 protection of water resources. The paper also recommends a productive
 stakeholder engagement that empowers locals and uses local knowledge to
 meet information requirements for progress towards EBM implementation
 under challenging conditions.

Title: Price determination and efficiency in the market for water rights in New Mexico's Middle Rio Grande Basin 
Abstract:
	      Water rights markets in the western United States have
 expanded over the last 40 years, as a result of population growth in the
 West and Southwest, and limited development of new storage. Until 2008,
 house prices, home construction and population growth appeared to be
 locked in an ever-increasing upward trend. With little historical
 experience to the contrary, water right market prices similarly appeared
 to be driven by real estate development. The collapse of the housing
 market in the last four years provides an opportunity to examine the
 connection between the real estate and water markets. It is found that
 Middle Rio Grande Basin water right prices are influenced by housing
 prices, per capita income in the buyer's county, buyer type, point of
 diversion, and transaction volume. However, significant price dispersion
 remains, raising the question of how efficiently this market is currently
 working.

Title: Monitoring access to water in rural areas based on the human right to water framework: a local level case study in Nicaragua 
Abstract:
	      Much effort has gone into the recognition of the human right
 to water. Without doubt, this milestone influences governance and decision
 making processes at many scales so it is essential now to shift the
 discussion from the legal and conceptual framework to practice. Along this
 line, the article proposes a methodology for monitoring access to water in
 rural areas using the framework of this human right. The practicality of
 the approach is demonstrated by a case study carried out in Nicaragua.
 Different criteria of the right to water were included in surveys and
 structured interviews that were conducted in rural households and water
 committees, respectively. A discussion analyzes the advantages and
 challenges of using this framework. Finally, the approach provides
 elements for policy making that can be used by different stakeholders in
 the development and human rights sectors.

Title: Developing sustainable and replicable water supply systems in rural communities in Brazil 
Abstract:
	      This article examines the challenges and opportunities for
 developing rural water supply programs that can meet multiple
 sustainability criteria (including social, technical/administrative and
 environmental criteria) and can be replicated beyond individual
 communities. It draws lessons from a water supply development project in
 Northeast Brazil, identifying how environmental and community assessments,
 community engagement in planning, as well as training, capacity building
 and monitoring can help meet sustainability criteria. The article further
 explores how an institutionalized planning process and partnerships with
 public agencies and donors are integrated into the project design to
 support replicability.

Title: Water access in Sucre, Bolivia: a case of governance deficit 
Abstract:
	      Bolivia is one of the countries on the American continent
 with the lowest rates of access to water, a situation that has caused
 confrontation between civil society and water utility managers in some
 cities. This research describes the water access scenario in Sucre, the
 capital of Bolivia, together with the key challenges faced by the company
 that manages the water services in the city. The case of Sucre is an
 example of how poor water governance can generate inefficiencies in the
 management of the service. Taking this into consideration, policy and
 institutional reforms are recommended to facilitate decision making aimed
 at improving the current situation of access to water.

Title: Environmental flow assessment as a tool for achieving environmental objectives of African water policy, with examples from East Africa 
Abstract:
	      Africa has set ambitious targets for development of water
 resources over the coming decades. <italic>Africa Water Vision
 2025</italic> calls for a doubling of irrigated agriculture and a
 five-fold increase in water use for agriculture, industry, and hydropower.
 The ambitious development targets are framed in the context of integrated
 water resources management, which also seeks to simultaneously allocate
 sufficient water for environmental sustainability. Over the past two
 decades scientists have devised a number of practical and robust
 approaches to determine environmental water requirements in rivers and
 wetlands based on the objectives set in water planning. We review the most
 widely applied approaches to assess environmental flow requirements and
 consider their application in Africa through case studies in the
 transboundary Mara River basin of Kenya and Tanzania and the Great Ruaha
 River basin in Tanzania.

Title: Water and democracy: new roles for civil society in water governance 
Abstract:
	      In most democratic countries, government officials make
 water-allocation decisions. Citizens depend on these officials and their
 technical advisors to take account of both technical and political
 considerations in determining which water uses get priority, what
 infrastructure investments to make and what water quality standards to
 apply. In many parts of the world, water users and stakeholders have
 additional opportunities to comment on such decisions before they are
 implemented. Under some circumstances, citizens can challenge water
 management decisions in court. This is not enough. More direct democracy,
 involving stakeholders before such decisions are made, can produce fairer
 and increasingly sustainable results. The steps in collaborative adaptive
 management - a form of stakeholder engagement particularly appropriate to
 managing complex water networks - are described in this article along with
 the reasons that traditional forms of representative democracy are
 inadequate when it comes to water policy.

Title: Water infrastructure as an essential element for human development 
Abstract:
 Infrastructure is essential for development, but by itself it will not
 contribute to improving the quality of life of millions of people unless
 it is part of an overall framework for development, economic growth,
 social equity and environmental protection. As mentioned by Nobel laureate
 Amartya Sen, the absence of infrastructure has a pervasive influence on
 poverty, but at the same time is not a free-standing factor in lifting
 people from it. The focus should thus not be on physical infrastructure
 per se but on infrastructure as a driver for growth and sustainable
 development. This requires more comprehensive institutional, legal,
 regulatory, policy and management frameworks than the ones existing at
 present.

Title: The worldwide urban water and wastewater infrastructure challenge 
Abstract:
 There are two parts to the challenge of providing the infrastructure
 necessary for universal access to water and sanitation. One challenge is
 the extension of existing infrastructure and new infrastructure to serve
 all in today's urban areas and to keep up with the expected rapid growth
 of cities; the other is the refurbishment of existing infrastructure to
 maintain access to water and sanitation. Meeting the second challenge is
 the more costly; it is also essential to meeting the first challenge.
 Infrastructure is the means, not the end, with a requirement for clear
 policies on objectives, priorities and service standards. Delivery will
 require effective planning, regulation, innovation, capacity building and
 training. Although the infrastructure costs will be high, the benefits
 will be greater.

Title: Is water scarcity a constraint to feeding Asia's growing population? 
Abstract:
 Growing population and wealth, as measured by per capita GDP, are
 predicted to put water resources and food production in Asia under
 increasing pressure over the next few decades. Critical factors include
 the increasing demand for animal proteins in diets and the growing need
 for energy. Climate change impacts may further reduce available water
 resources because of greater evaporation losses in some areas and storms
 and floods in others. If we are to overcome these significant constraints
 on food production, we must turn to strategies that are focused around
 sustainable intensification of agriculture. These include modernization of
 old irrigation schemes to increase water productivity, innovative concepts
 that capture and store flood runoff for use in agriculture, much more
 recycling and reuse of urban wastewater, and other efficiency-improvement
 techniques. However, these will not happen in a policy vacuum, and it is
 argued that reforms are needed in water policy, water training and water
 management institutions across Asia.

Title: Water services industry reforms in Malaysia 
Abstract:
 Concerted efforts to reform and transform the water industry in Malaysia
 began in 2006. It was a visionary effort by the federal government to
 ensure an adequate supply of clean water to the public and industry. A
 policy and institutional framework was created to re-invent and transform
 the water services industry into an efficient and sustainable sector that
 will play a pivotal role as one of the major components of economic
 growth. Though minor adjustments may be needed during its implementation,
 the overall policy direction is pragmatic and viable and has started to
 produce tangible outcomes.

Title: Water infrastructure in China: the importance of full project life-cycle cost analysis in addressing water challenges 
Abstract:
 To address serious wastewater challenges, the government of China is
 investing in the rapid building of new treatment plants across the
 country. However, current practice often favours both cost- and
 energy-inefficient designs and implementation, especially in smaller
 cities and towns. Combining a full life cycle costing (LCC) approach with
 financing innovations and the identification and implementation of new
 technologies can reduce such inefficiencies by 50% or more. One general
 and two wastewater-specific case studies of new approaches to efficient
 infrastructure design are discussed.

Title: Water infrastructure for the Hindu Kush Himalayas 
Abstract:
 The Hindu Kush-Himalayan region is the source of 10 major rivers serving
 over 1.3 billion people. In spite of this abundance, mountain people have
 limited access to water for food, households and energy. Climate change is
 increasing the uncertainty about water availability and the frequency of
 extreme weather events. To buffer seasonal variations and address growing
 water demand, properly planned, developed and managed infrastructure and
 related institutional capacities are required. They should also recognize
 mountain-specific issues. Priority areas include transboundary water
 governance, cross-border information systems, an improved knowledge base
 for mountain regions, and benefit sharing between mountain and downstream
 communities.

Title: The Gujarat State-Wide Water Supply Grid: a step towards water security 
Abstract:
 Gujarat is one of India's economic powerhouses, but its geographical
 conditions mean that most of the state's districts face water deficits. In
 2002, emergency arrangements to meet water shortages were replaced with a
 longer-term strategy: the construction and management of the State-Wide
 Water Supply Grid. This scheme moves towards connecting 47 million people
 to safe, potable water supplies. It has also positioned Gujarat as a
 pioneer in India in terms of moving towards water security and
 conservation, a policy choice that has boosted economic growth and made
 important strides towards human development.

Title: Positive externalities of irrigation from the Sardar Sarovar Project for farm production and domestic water supply 
Abstract:
 A detailed study was conducted in six districts of Gujarat, India, in
 gravity- and lift-irrigated commands of the Sardar Sarovar Project to
 assess the direct and indirect benefits of canal irrigation. Benefits such
 as savings in the cost of energy used to pump groundwater for irrigation,
 reduction in well failures, and increased income of well irrigators from
 farming (crops and dairy) were remarkable. Groundwater augmented by
 recharge from gravity irrigation resulted in large economic returns to the
 well irrigators in the command areas and reduced the cost of domestic
 water supply in villages and towns (through improved yield of agro-wells
 and drinking-water wells, respectively). Canal irrigation also raised
 wages for workers, through enhanced agricultural labour demand along with
 appreciation of land markets.

Title: Environmental over enthusiasm 
Abstract:
 India needs large dams for water storage, hydropower and flood control. It
 also needs long-distance inter-basin water transfers. However, India has a
 complex and strict environmental regulatory system which ignores a
 developing economy's needs and peoples' aspirations and is often
 impractical. This is used by activists to thwart infrastructure building,
 and, when faced with development slowdown, the government tries to thwart
 the laws they themselves have made. India's food, water and energy
 security, economic, and poverty-alleviation plans are in jeopardy unless
 environmental regulators realize that the regulations are being misused
 and that environmental over-enthusiasm is benefiting neither development
 nor the environment.

Title: The changing role of hydropower: from cheap local energy supply to strategic regional resource 
Abstract:
 The role of hydropower has evolved from being a local, low-cost energy
 source to being a flexible resource offering a variety of ancillary
 services including regional frequency control and energy storage for large
 interconnected power systems. This paper explores this development as it
 relates to a North American midcontinent electrical power region. It
 reviews traditional benefits from hydropower in a thermal-power-dominated
 region and traditional efforts to quantity those benefits. With the
 challenges of integrating increasing quantities of variable generation
 such as wind and solar power, new benefits from hydropower have been
 identified and new methods to quantify those benefits have been developed.
 Recent results of a major study of the sub-hourly behaviour of a
 hydropower system in a Midwestern United States electrical market are
 reviewed.

Title: Interbasin water transfers at the US-Mexico border city of Nogales, Sonora: implications for aquifers and water security 
Abstract:
 Nogales, Sonora, on the US-Mexico border, employs interbasin water and
 wastewater transfers to address water scarcity in the context of a rising
 population, a warming climate, and cross-border institutional asymmetries.
 A unique feature of its geography and border context is Nogales's export
 of wastewater both north to the US and, starting with the August 2012
 commissioning of a strategically positioned wastewater treatment plant,
 south to the Alisos basin, which is its principal drinking-water source.
 Thus, when the new plant is fully operational, it will result in indirect
 potable reuse of effluent via recharge of the source-water aquifer. This
 paper finds that such strategies contribute to increased water scarcity in
 Nogales, and to detrimental health, livelihood and environmental impacts
 in the source basin, thus raising questions about interbasin transfers as
 a principal water management strategy.

Title: The 2012 Murray-Darling Basin Plan - issues to watch 
Abstract:
 The Murray-Darling Basin Plan is now in place, marking a further
 significant step in water policy development and water reform in
 Australia's Murray-Darling Basin (MDB). While it is an important planning
 and regulatory framework in its own right, and one that should further
 enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of water markets in the MDB,
 implementation and enforcement of the plan and continued action by
 governments, communities and stakeholders on key reform commitments are
 required to ensure much-needed improvement in economic, social and
 environmental sustainability. This article outlines seven watch points
 that will affect whether the desired outcomes are achieved.

Title: Environmental water management in Australia: experience from the Murray-Darling Basin 
Abstract:
 Recent water reform in Australia has focused on seeking to balance the
 needs of the environment and consumptive users through improved flow
 regimes. This is in response to declining ecological conditions,
 exacerbated by drought and the threat of climate change particularly in
 the Murray-Darling Basin. A programme of environmental flows integrated
 through multiple governance layers and managed by an independent
 federal-government entity operating in the water market on behalf of the
 environment has been established to help rectify the decline. While a
 challenge for this new entity involves determining when to release, trade
 or carry over water in storage so as to maximize environmental outcomes,
 early results point to real environmental gains within a highly regulated
 and diverse river system.

Title: The 2011-2012 drought in the United States: new lessons from a record event 
Abstract:
 The record-setting 2011-2012 drought was the worst in the central regions
 of the United States since the 1930s. Short-term impacts included crop
 failures, job losses, water shortages, energy impacts, navigation problems
 and environmental losses. The event reinforced the need for water security
 and preparedness through */collective actions for mitigation and response.
 It showed that innovations in water management can improve resilience but
 cannot mitigate all risks; comprehensive water-management and
 emergency-preparedness solutions are needed, based on effective
 collaboration between institutions. The main lesson of this complex and
 significant drought is about the need to strengthen intergovernmental
 cooperation and policy responses.

Title: Planning and management of shared waters: hydropolitics and hydropsychology - two sides of the same coin 
Abstract:
 Politics and human behaviour play key roles in the planning and management
 of shared water resources. The interactions between politics and water
 resources (hydropolitics) have been extensively studied, and the need to
 study the interactions between human behaviour and water-related
 activities (hydropsychology) is increasingly recognized. Although both
 hydropolitics and hydropsychology are useful, neither by itself is
 adequate across all scales of water resources and human society. This
 paper reasons that hydropolitics is a top-down view and hydropsychology is
 bottom-up, and argues for a framework to reconcile the two for a two-way
 and more balanced approach.

Title: De-nationalization and de-securitization of transboundary water resources: the Israeli-Palestinian case 
Abstract:
 Many people think of transboundary water in terms of national security.
 However, water is not, nor is it likely to become, a cause of war. Rather,
 the need is for water security, which implies that water management must
 balance the goals of efficiency, equity, sustainability and
 implementability. This article suggests how a joint management structure
 for fresh water can be designed to promote ongoing resolution of issues,
 and do so in a way that de-nationalizes and de-securitizes transboundary
 water. Though designed with the Israeli-Palestinian case in mind, the
 approach is applicable wherever water divides rather than unites states or
 peoples.

Title: Steps towards an Afghanistan-Pakistan water-sharing agreement 
Abstract:
 Negotiations between Afghanistan and Pakistan to share the international
 watercourses in the Kabul Basin will involve complex networks of natural,
 societal and political systems. The natural systems are strongly
 influenced by climate change; societal interests include an economy based
 on agriculture; and the region in both states is subject to turmoil and
 insecurity. Given these complexities, the recent joint announcement by the
 finance ministers of Afghanistan and Pakistan of plans to construct a
 hydropower project on the Kunar River is a significant step. However, much
 work remains to jointly develop and manage the waters in the Kabul Basin.

Title: Re-examining conflict and cooperation in Central Asia: a case study from the Isfara River, Ferghana Valley 
Abstract:
 While conflict and cooperation in Central Asia are mainly focused on the
 larger basins (Amu and Syr Darya) and the implementation of the agreement
 reached directly after independence (1991), here an analysis of the
 history of water-sharing agreements in the Isfara Basin is presented. The
 paper reveals that there have been fierce negotiations and renegotiations
 even during the Soviet Union period between the Central Asian riparian
 republics; agreement was reached mainly though engineering solutions that
 brought more water to the basin. The paper highlights that although
 water-sharing agreements were reached early on, the technical capability
 of implementing these agreements was lacking. Similarly, even after
 independence, agreements had been reached but lack of water control
 hindered their implementation.

Title: Managed aquifer recharge using quaternary-treated wastewater: an economic perspective 
Abstract:
 An excess of 31 million m-super-3/y of tertiary-treated wastewater is
 expected in Muscat, Oman, by 2015. This paper addresses the technical and
 cost estimation of managed aquifer recharge after reverse-osmosis
 treatment. The results indicate that the project is appealing from an
 economic perspective. The total cost varies between USD 0.353 and USD
 0.550 per cubic metre, depending on the cost of electricity, the interest
 rate and the life span of the project. The project may face rejection from
 domestic users, who may be unwilling to accept mixing treated wastewater
 with the current water supply due to health risks. An alternative to
 indirect potable reuse is the installation of a separate network to
 service industrial users.

Title: Poor state of irrigation statistics in India: the case of pumps, wells and tubewells 
Abstract:
 Groundwater is the main source of irrigation in India, but there is a huge
 uncertainty about the number of groundwater structures. This paper
 compares data from four government sources on wells and tubewells, diesel
 pumps and electric pumps for time periods from the mid-1980s to the
 mid-2000s. There is a wide divergence in data, which is not attributable
 to mere time lags or definitional differences. This is a cause for
 concern, because lack of reliable estimates of these numbers affects
 realistic calculations of important variables such as groundwater
 extraction, electricity subsidies, and the carbon footprint of
 agricultural groundwater use.

Title: Impacts of agricultural policy on irrigation water demand: a case study of Saudi Arabia 
Abstract:
 Saudi Arabia's groundwater resources have been heavily over-exploited to
 achieve food self-sufficiency. The country enacted a new agricultural
 policy that discourages the cultivation of wheat and encourages that of
 vegetables and fruits. This has produced significant reductions in
 irrigation water demand as well as food self-sufficiency. This paper
 reviews the performance of the Saudi agricultural sector and presents four
 scenarios forecasting the new policy's long-term impacts on the use of
 water for agriculture. The findings show that the new policy does not
 support sustainable utilization of groundwater resources. Additional
 policy modifications are needed to optimize the combination of import and
 domestic production of agricultural products based on a sustainable water
 utilization strategy.

Title: Rainwater and greywater harvesting for urban food security in La Soukra, Tunisia 
Abstract:
 This paper presents the findings of an integrated household water
 treatment and reuse system for agriculture in La Soukra, Tunisia. The
 researchers found that the system has an internal rate of return of 17%
 and a net present value range from USD 26,000 (at a 5% discount rate) to
 USD 11,000 (for a 10% discount rate). Benefits included more water for
 irrigation, reduced costs to service providers, increased agricultural
 production from greenhouses and expanded agricultural options. These
 results suggest that investments in rainwater harvesting and greywater
 treatment at the farm level can increase the financial feasibility of
 peri-urban farms, which are often faced with pressure from urban growth.
 The systems can also help build household resilience to broader
 environmental change by lowering the exposure of farmers to burdens
 associated with infrequent access to water and poor-quality soil.

Title: Agricultural intensification in the Bang Phluang Irrigation Scheme, Prachinburi Sub-basin, Thailand, and its impacts on water management 
Abstract:
 Thailand has embarked on river basin-focused policies to improve technical
 infrastructure for and participation in water management. The Bang Phluang
 Irrigation Scheme in Thailand's eastern region was started in 1971 to
 provide irrigation water, to control floods and to prevent salt-water
 intrusion. Farmers have increased the number of rice harvests and
 introduced fish and shrimp cultures. Agricultural intensification,
 however, has led to competition for water and to conflicts among farmers.
 The paper analyzes, within the context of policy and institutional change,
 the effects of agricultural intensification on water use, water
 management, conflicts, and conflict resolution.

Title: Water policy in Jordan 
Abstract:
 The primary problems in water quality and availability in Jordan stem from
 poor long-term planning. This paper looks at past and current policies
 related to water management, considers their weaknesses, and suggests
 means of improving the management and planning aspects and the need for
 desalination infrastructure. The major water issues in Jordan can be
 attributed to both policy implementation failure and a lack of
 on-the-ground application of regulations. This study indicates that
 desalination of Red Sea water can be a long-term viable option to meet the
 growing domestic water needs within Jordan.

Title: Water demand versus supply in Saudi Arabia: current and future challenges 
Abstract:
 Saudi Arabia is facing a chronic water-shortage problem. Demand far
 exceeds the sustainable yield of both conventional and non-conventional
 water resources. The resulting demand-supply gap is being bridged through
 groundwater depletion. In this paper, demand-supply gaps for the coming 20
 years are projected under three scenarios: optimistic, moderate and
 pessimistic. Future sustainable water yields are calculated and allocated
 to projected water demand in the domestic, industrial and agricultural
 sectors. The study shows that Saudi Arabia will not be able to bridge the
 demand-supply gap in the near future. Intensive water demand management
 measures are needed in all sectors to minimize future demand-supply gaps,
 especially focused on the largest water consumer: the agricultural sector.

Title: From IWRM back to integrated water resources management 
Abstract:
 Integrated water resources management provides a set of ideas to help us
 manage water more holistically. However, these ideas have been formalized
 over time in what has now become, in capitals, Integrated Water Resources
 Management (IWRM), with specific prescriptive principles whose
 implementation is often supported by donor funding and international
 advocacy. IWRM has now become an end in itself, in some cases undermining
 functioning water management systems, in others setting back needed water
 reform agendas, and in yet others becoming a tool to mask other agendas.
 Critically, the current monopoly of IWRM in global water management
 discourse is shutting out alternative thinking on pragmatic solutions to
 existing water problems. This paper explains these issues and uses
 examples of transboundary water governance in general, groundwater
 management in India and rural-urban water transfer in China to show that
 there are (sometimes antithetical) alternatives to IWRM which are being
 successfully used to solve major water problems. The main message is that
 we should simply get on with pragmatic politics and solutions to the
 world's many individual water challenges.

Title: A new paradigm for water? A comparative review of integrated, adaptive and ecosystem-based water management in the Anthropocene 
Abstract:
 The failure of conventional approaches to achieve equitable and
 sustainable water management has prompted a new way of perceiving and
 acting with water. This is creating a 'new water paradigm' that emphasizes
 broader stakeholder involvement; integration of sectors, issues and
 disciplines; attention to the human dimensions of management; and wider
 recognition of the economic, ecological and cultural values of water. This
 article reviews three approaches arising within the new water paradigm:
 integrated water resources management; ecosystem-based approaches; and
 adaptive management. The article concludes that the strengths of each
 approach address different moral and ecological challenges. Combining
 these strengths, while minimizing tensions, may contribute to more
 effective water management in the Anthropocene.

Title: Overcoming the land-water disconnect in water-scarce regions: time for IWRM to go contemporary 
Abstract:
 This article aims to analyze the relationships between water and land. It
 posits that there is a disconnect between land and water management that
 needs to be rectified. To address the major challenges the world is facing
 in terms of feeding itself and securing adequate access to water there is
 a need to revisit the integrated water resources management (IWRM)
 paradigm. While IWRM incorporates the link between land and water in
 theory, it is often ignored in practice. The authors argue that greater
 visibility of the land-water linkage is needed and would be encouraged by
 adding an L for land use, making ILWRM: integrated land and water
 resources management. The natural systems at play are juxtaposed with a
 discussion of the (water) governance challenges that they pose. Challenges
 stemming from increased land (and thereby water) acquisitions, as well as
 the transboundary perspectives of the ILWRM challenge, highlight the need
 to revisit and evolve our approach to providing water and food security.

Title: Integrated water resources management: unified process or debate forum? 
Abstract:
 The concept of integrated water resources management (IWRM) has stimulated
 a productive international dialogue, but is criticized as being ambiguous
 or a tool of the establishment and unresponsive to important needs.
 However, its broad scope actually enables it to provide a common language,
 facilitate policy discussions, catalogue management practices, and support
 education and capacity building. Similar criticisms can be levelled at
 integrated paradigms in other sectors, and even the process of water
 management itself. IWRM faces challenges because water policy is often
 subordinated to policies of other sectors and because of the unique
 attributes of water.

Title: Can integrated water resource management be of value to business, specifically the oil and gas sector? 
Abstract:
 Water is an important resource for both business and society; it is a
 cross-cutting issue and should be managed using an integrated approach.
 Many businesses, such as oil and gas, have global operations in multiple
 geographic and climatic contexts across a range of jurisdictions. This
 paper explores whether the conceptual framework of integrated water
 resource management (IWRM) is an applicable approach for business to
 manage water issues. There are currently limited documented experiences of
 the relationship between business and IWRM. This article summarizes key
 findings from research that was supported by King's College London.
 Findings indicate that although IWRM is a high-level, holistic approach,
 the principles can be of value.

Title: Integrated water resources management: horizontal and vertical explorations and the 'water in all policies' approach 
Abstract:
 Water constitutes a sector that overlaps with many other sectors and
 within itself has an array of quite different interests, stakeholders with
 varying mind-sets and consequently notable governance challenges.
 Integrated water resources management (IWRM) is the recommended approach
 to tackle this situation. Integration - both vertical (within the sector)
 and horizontal (across different established sectors) - is seen as
 fundamental to balanced governance and policy making. IWRM has a long
 history, and rich experiences, both positive and negative, have been
 reported. This article summarizes some of this experience and concludes
 that both vertical and horizontal challenges are ample. To contextualize
 and systematize integration, a flow chart is presented for various tasks
 and phases of water governance, and the challenges of integration are
 embedded into that framework. Because water is not the only sector that
 overlaps with other sectors and has integration challenges, the health
 sector is considered to learn from its approaches. Particularly
 interesting is the 'health in all policies' approach. This is helpful in
 further developing IWRM, in particular with respect to horizontal
 integration, in which IWRM may particularly need development.

Title: IWRM in England: bridging the gap between top-down and bottom-up implementation 
Abstract:
 Implementation of IWRM has generally been approached mechanistically, with
 attention focused on identifying necessary conditions and developing
 useful tools and techniques. In contrast, this article examines
 alternative approaches to implementation in their totality, using IWRM in
 England as a case analysis. In England, the EU Water Framework Directive
 has been implemented through a 'top-down' approach but a 'bottom-up'
 approach has been adopted for catchment management. Both the Water
 Framework Directive and the catchment-based approach are consistent with
 the goals of IWRM, but their implementation arrangements are disconnected
 and operate at different scales. This example suggests that cross-scale
 interplay and bridging institutions are critical to the successful
 implementation of IWRM in complex governance settings.

Title: Integrated water resource management: lessons from conservation authorities in Ontario, Canada 
Abstract:
 The lessons and opportunities of integrated water resource management in
 Ontario are described by focusing attention on conservation authorities:
 watershed-based agencies formed between 1946 and 1979. Six foundational
 principles of the programme are explained: the watershed as the management
 unit; local initiative; provincial-municipal partnership; a healthy
 environment for a healthy economy; a comprehensive approach; and
 cooperation and coordination. Illustrative examples from the Grand River
 and Halton Region conservation authorities provide the basis for
 conclusions. The six principles have served the integrated water resource
 management programme well. In addition, the ability to make difficult
 budgetary decisions and adapt to changing public need has contributed to
 the conservation authorities' success.

Title: Simulation modelling for water governance in basins 
Abstract:
 Accelerating future water shortages require development of operational
 water governance models, as illustrated by three case studies: (1)
 upstream-downstream interactions in the Aral Sea basin, where science acts
 as problem recognizer, emphasizing scoping policies; (2) impact and
 adaptation of climate change on water and food supply in the Middle East
 and North Africa, where science acts as a mediator between perspectives,
 emphasizing scoping and a start of implementation policies; and (3) green
 water credits in Kenya, where science acts as advocate, emphasizing
 scoping and implementation policies in close interaction with
 stakeholders, including impulses from applied to basic research.

Title: Too much of a good thing? Building social capital through knowledge transfer and collaborative networks in the southern Philippines 
Abstract:
 Meaningful engagement of diverse stakeholders is essential for ensuring
 support for science-based responses to complex watershed challenges. A
 collaborative network in the Davao river basins, in the Philippines,
 provides evidence of an approach that enabled integration of science into
 local decision making and increased bonding social capital between
 shared-interest groups. Insufficient attention towards bridging and
 linking social capital allowed bottlenecks between policy and
 implementation to persist. This 'dark side' of social capital was
 evidenced by entrenched sector positions and lower levels of trust between
 different interest groups. A social-learning approach is recommended to
 create new spaces for productive 'bridging' relationships.

Title: Evaluating IWRM implementation success: are water policies in Bangladesh enhancing adaptive capacity to climate change impacts? 
Abstract:
 Optimizing the capacity to adapt to climate change impacts has become a
 critical challenge for human societies. This article therefore evaluates
 how integrated water resource management (IWRM) approaches help enhance
 adaptive capacity to climate change impacts on water resources. An
 evaluative framework is derived from key IWRM principles and their roles
 in modulating adaptive capacity. This framework is then used to evaluate
 IWRM implementation in Bangladesh. The analysis draws on policy documents,
 interviews and a survey of policy makers. Results suggest that policy
 principles and implementation in favour of IWRM can be a source of success
 but also of failure for adaptive capacity. Recommendations for amending
 the concept with the aim of increasing adaptive capacity are outlined.

Title: Moving beyond integrated water resource management: developmental water management in South Africa 
Abstract:
 This article traces the history of integrated water resources management
 (IWRM) in South Africa since the 1970s. It examines IWRM according to its
 three common pillars, which are also reflected in South Africa's National
 Water Act: economic efficiency, environmental sustainability, and equity.
 The article highlights how the principles of economic efficiency and the
 environment as a user in its own right emerged under apartheid, while
 equity was only included in the post-1994 water policies, with evolving
 influence on the other two principles. In 2013, the Department of Water
 Affairs overcame the widely documented flaws of IWRM by adopting
 developmental water management as its water resource management approach,
 aligning with the political and socio-economic goals of South Africa's
 democratic developmental state.

Title: Legislative and institutional reforms for water resources management in Ghana 
Abstract:
 The management of water resources among traditional societies in Ghana has
 been based on indigenous knowledge systems and practices. Colonial
 administrations subsequently vested water administration at the central
 level, without proper coordination, resulting in disjointed management
 systems. When a new constitution was adopted in 1992, constitutional
 requirements resulted in an overhaul of the legislative and institutional
 framework for water resources management. The old sector-based legislative
 instruments have been reviewed; a Ministry of Water Resources, Works and
 Housing has been created for policy direction; and an act of Parliament
 has established a Water Resources Commission to regulate and manage the
 utilization of Ghana's fresh-water resources.

Title: Assessment of water resources management in the Ethiopian Central Rift Valley: environmental conservation and poverty reduction 
Abstract:
 This article assesses the relation between water management, environmental
 degradation and poverty through a stakeholder analysis focused on the
 status and management of water resources. It draws from the situation
 observed in the Ethiopian Central Rift Valley, an endorheic basin south of
 Addis Ababa where human activities have resulted in the degradation of
 most freshwater ecosystems and where the vast majority of the population
 lives in poverty. It proposes a shift in water governance that focuses on
 improving economic and social welfare and enhancing environmental
 sustainability. This shift can help overcome some of the problems
 affecting the Central Rift Valley, namely: (1) the overexploitation of
 water resources; (2) poor water quality; and (3) the high dependency of
 the population on water resources to sustain their livelihoods.

Title: From principles to localized implementation: villagers' experiences of IWRM in the Shiyang River basin, Northwest China 
Abstract:
 Understanding perceptions of resource users and influencing factors that
 affect these perceptions has significant value in evaluating the success
 or failure of IWRM (integrated water resource management) reforms. This
 article explores villagers' experiences of China's recent powerful
 enforcement of IWRM and the locally perceived impacts through three
 in-depth case studies. Results show that neither villagers' perspectives
 nor the implementation processes and outcomes are monolithic. Political
 trust plays a key role in shaping villagers' perspectives and responses
 towards IWRM, which is constantly shaped and reshaped by understanding,
 experiences and negotiation among different stakeholders in the embedded
 physical, socio-economic and political environment.

Title: Supporting IWRM through spatial integrated assessment in the Lake Naivasha basin, Kenya 
Abstract:
 This study describes the mismatch between required knowledge and efforts
 by scientists and stakeholders in the Lake Naivasha basin, Kenya. In the
 basin, integrated water resources management (IWRM) suffers from the
 absence of critically relevant knowledge. This study further presents a
 spatial integrated assessment framework for supporting IWRM in the basin.
 This framework resulted from an ongoing debate between stakeholders and
 scientists studying the basin's issues. It builds on jointly identified
 indicators for sustainable governance, and their interdependency, and
 knowledge gaps. For IWRM in the basin this is a first important step
 towards a more structured debate on the implementation of IWRM.

Title: Benefits valuation of potable water quality improvement in Malaysia: the case of Kajang Municipality 
Abstract:
 This article estimates the benefits of potable water quality improvements
 in Kajang Municipality in the state of Selangor, Malaysia, using the
 avertive cost method. Households were willing to pay MYR 322 annually to
 improve potable water quality. This represents about 80% of their average
 annual water bill. The present value of aggregate benefits over a period
 of 30 years at various social discount rates ranged from MYR 301 million
 to MYR 768 million. These estimates can be used as a reference for public
 investment criteria. The findings suggest that there is merit in an upward
 revision of water tariffs if they provide improvements in water quality.

Title: Equity in bulk water allocation: the case of the Mahaweli Ganga Development Project in Sri Lanka 
Abstract:
 This article evaluates the equity performance of bulk water allocation as
 an irrigation management strategy in the Mahaweli Ganga Development
 Project, Sri Lanka. Through semi-structured interviews with farmers and
 irrigation officials, the study collected local perceptions using seven
 indicators: water rights; decision-making process; contribution of
 resources for irrigation maintenance; water allocation rules; actual water
 distribution; information sharing; and conflict resolution. The results
 highlight gaps in the institution such as the need to enhance the water
 rights of landless farmers, further encourage crop diversification,
 increase transparency in decision making, instil a risk-management
 approach, and strengthen accountability.

Title: Community perception of the Klimkówka Reservoir in Poland 
Abstract:
 This article presents the results of a survey on how people perceive the
 Klimkówka storage reservoir located on the Ropa River in the Polish
 Carpathians. The analysis focused on establishing the role of various
 factors which impact the assessment of the reservoir by the local
 community. Community perception of the reservoir was analyzed in relation
 to several aspects linked to the reservoir itself, e.g. the risk of dam
 failure, feeling of safety, pros and cons, and how accustomed people were
 to the reservoir. A crucial issue was to identify how the real threat of a
 flood, experienced by people living below the dam, affected the way people
 perceived the reservoir. As a result of the analysis, a hierarchy of
 factors which determine people's assessment of large hydraulic structures
 was established. The results can be applied to determine specific measures
 aimed at limiting negative community perception of water infrastructure.

Title: Increasing access to water services: a cost-recoverable pricing model 
Abstract:
 Pricing policies can serve as a low-cost and effective tool for increasing
 access to water and sanitation services among poor households while
 allowing the provider to recover costs. An empirical model is applied to
 contingent-valuation survey data for water services in Cebu, Philippines.
 Pricing policies that utilizes a low one-time connection fee and
 differentiates tariffs based on wealth results in a 3 to 9-fold increase
 in water services access by poor households over the base pricing policy.
 The results provide evidence that price-discrimination techniques can be
 important tools toward achieving greater coverage and financial solvency
 of important services.

Title: Historical development of technologies for water resources management and rainwater harvesting in the Hellenic civilizations 
Abstract:
 The shortage of water in ancient Greek civilizations necessitated various
 collection methods and storage cisterns. In fact, rainwater harvesting
 dates back to Minoan times, <italic>ca.</italic> 3200-1100 BC. Since then,
 several types of cisterns have evolved, while a significant development
 appears to have occurred throughout Hellas during the Hellenistic period.
 In addition to the Hellenistic period, the succeeding Roman, Byzantine,
 Venetian and Ottoman periods are discussed. Within this context, a few
 examples relating to characteristics of Hellenistic cisterns, conveying
 illustrations of the development of technology during those historical
 periods, are included.

Title: The evolution of UK flood insurance: incremental change over six decades 
Abstract:
 In this paper, the authors' theorizing shifts away from the catalytic role
 of the flood itself - or other crises - towards a deeper understanding of
 the relationship between change and stability, taking the example of UK
 flood insurance and the agreements - and the implicit policy approaches -
 between the actors involved: private insurers and the government. The
 study relies upon in-depth analysis of policy agreements governing flood
 insurance since the 1960s, and semi-structured interviews with six current
 or former flood insurance professionals. The important agents of change
 have been, firstly, threats to existing household insurers from new
 entrants unencumbered by agreements to insure all comers. Secondly,
 technological changes have made exposure more explicit and pricing risk
 both easier and less expensive. The slow pace of change and the relatively
 stable role of the different actors and coalitions is now clearer. Many
 windows of opportunity created by major flooding or financial crises have
 not significantly affected the pace or direction of policy change. The
 overriding importance of the London location for - and the profitability
 of - the insurance industry, both to government and to the insurers,
 explains the extraordinary policy stability described here. This history
 suggests that the UK may not be a good model for imitation elsewhere.

Title: Post-1980 water policy in China 
Abstract:
 This article reviews water policy in China since 1980. Four periods are
 considered: the 1980s, 1990-1998, 1998-2009 and after 2009. Based on an
 introduction of the broader context and the main water issues in each
 period, the key water policies are discussed and analyzed. Since 1980,
 China's water policies have experienced dramatic changes: trying to
 improve benefits in the face of criticism for low efficiency in the 1980s;
 allocating large investments acknowledging the important role of water for
 the economy of the country during 1990-1998; redefining the water-human
 relationship during 1998-2008; and providing the strictest water resources
 management as the definitive solution after 2009. The article presents a
 full range of policy solutions from infrastructure construction to
 non-structural instruments and from water resources development to water
 resources management.

Title: Domestic water access and pricing in urban areas of Mozambique: between equity and cost recovery for the provision of a vital resource 
Abstract:
 This article first presents the urban domestic water access situation in
 Mozambique. Then it analyzes the country's tariff system as a tool to
 recover water supply costs and to secure equity and affordability for the
 urban households served. The analysis focused on those households with
 in-dwelling water access (less than 50% of the urban population in
 Mozambique). Urban families using 5m-super-3, 10m-super-3, and 15m-super-3
 of in-dwelling piped water per month pay an average of USD 0.86, 0.74, and
 0.76 per m-super-3, respectively. At the national level, cost recovery is
 an issue because in most urban areas operation and maintenance costs are
 not fully covered. The average coverage ratio for the country is 0.85. The
 presented figures indicate that a revision of the water tariffs currently
 applied in Mozambique could help improve equity, affordability and cost
 recovery.

Title: Entry into force of the UN Watercourses Convention: why should it matter? 
Abstract:
 The United Nations Watercourses Convention entered into force on 17 August
 2014, following a long and complex journey that dates back to 1970 when
 the UN referred the matter to its legal arm, the International Law
 Commission. This article follows the Convention through that long and
 turbulent road, examines its main provisions and analyses the reasons for
 the delay of its entry into force. It concludes by answering the question
 of why entry into force of the Convention should indeed matter.

Title: Minute 319 of the International Boundary and Water Commission between the US and Mexico: Colorado River binational water management implications 
Abstract:
 On 20 November 2012, Minute 319 of the International Boundary and Water
 Commission was signed by the commissioners of Mexico and the United
 States. It establishes measures for binational water management until
 2017.This agreement aims to combine the efforts of officials of the two
 countries to find cooperative mechanisms that address water shortage in
 the Colorado River basin. The agreement mostly refers to the storage of
 Mexican water by the Hoover Dam in the United States, which, under the
 rule of the 1944 Water Treaty, should be suitably managed by the two
 countries, in view of predicted climate change impacts such as extreme
 drought and the consequent reduction of water availability at the basin
 level. This article addresses some likely implications for the signing
 countries regarding the implementation of measures established in the
 minute.

Title: Impact of upstream anthropogenic river regulation on downstream water availability in transboundary river watersheds 
Abstract:
 This article assesses the adverse impact of upstream anthropogenic
 regulation of a transboundary river watershed on the natural flow regime
 of the downstream country, by focusing on a case study: the Diyala
 (S&#x12b;rv&#x101;n) River watershed shared between Iraq and Iran. The
 article explores transboundary watershed management difficulties in a
 three-level system called the transboundary three-scalar framework, which
 helps to sustainably manage water resources. The average rates of
 reduction in flow between 2004 and 2013 ranged from nearly 24% in February
 to about 77% in September. The median of the reduction of rates between
 June and October was 66.4%.

Title: Re-engineering closing watersheds: The negotiated expansion of a dam-based irrigation system in Bolivia 
Abstract:
 The expansion of the Totora Khocha dam-based irrigation system in the
 Pucara watershed is a case of planned re-engineering of a closing
 watershed. This article shows how, when irrigation systems expand in space
 and across boundaries to capture new water, they also involve new claims
 by existing and emergent users. This results in complex processes of
 design, contestation and negotiated redesign, where irrigation projects
 are being produced by the negotiated construction of water networks.
 Therefore, the design process in a closing watershed is better approached
 as a dynamic and negotiated process of engineering than as a prescriptive
 mode of network building.

Title: Compensation policy in a large development project: the case of the Bakun hydroelectric dam 
Abstract:
 Compensation to indigenous communities forced to relocate as a result of a
 development project is examined in this study. A survey of 379 families
 displaced by the construction of the Bakun Dam in Sarawak, Malaysia,
 reveals a high level of dissatisfaction with the compensation provided.
 The compensation given by the government to the relocated indigenous
 communities was lower than they had expected. The average compensation gap
 (the difference between the expected compensation and the actual
 compensation received for land) is 20 acres per study household. This has
 resulted in dissatisfaction among the indigenous communities. Greater
 participation of indigenous communities in the compensation process is
 needed to reduce the compensation gap. Indigenous communities' rights and
 freedom to participate in the compensation process is important and should
 be an integral part of compensation policy for large development projects.

Title: Rehabilitating rivers and enhancing ecosystem services in a water-scarcity context: the Yarqon River 
Abstract:
 After the creation of the state of Israel in 1948, the increase in urban
 and agricultural water demand and the increased flow of poorly treated
 sewage had a severe impact in one of the most ecologically important
 rivers in Israel, the Yarqon. The attempt to reverse this situation began
 with the creation of the Yarqon River Authority in 1988. In the last 20
 years, the authority has implemented or collaborated in several projects
 that have significantly contributed to enhancing the provision of
 ecological services. This article aims to analyze the case of the
 pollution and subsequent rehabilitation of aquatic ecosystem services in
 the Israeli water-scarcity context.

Title: Shifting to hydrological/hydrographic boundaries: a comparative assessment of national policy implementation in the Zerafshan and Ferghana Valleys 
Abstract:
 In the literature on the implementation of national policies there is an
 assumption that these get implemented uniformly within one country. Here,
 with a focus on the implementation of national policy on shifting from
 administrative to hydrological/hydrographic principles of water management
 in the Zerafshan Valley and the Ferghana Valley in Uzbekistan, this
 assumption is questioned. The case study demonstrates that national
 policies are resisted by lower-level bureaucrats, leading to diverse, even
 contradictory, outcomes of the same policy. The vested interests of a
 multiplicity of bureaucracies, the power of individual bureaucrats, and
 the discretional power given to bureaucracies in interpreting national
 policy are responsible for the different outcomes. The article calls for
 more comparative assessments across different regions for a better
 understanding of policy implementation.

Title: Systems methodology for resolving water conflicts: the Zhanghe River water allocation dispute in China 
Abstract:
 This article uses the Graph Model for Conflict Resolution methodology to
 systematically model and analyze strategic aspects of an existing conflict
 over the distribution and utilization of water in the Zhanghe River basin
 in China. This formal systems investigation reveals that a win/win
 resolution occurs when the downstream provinces of Henan and Hebei agree
 to cooperate to purchase water at a proper price from the upstream
 province of Shanxi. This resolution is possible with upgraded
 infrastructure and with facilitation by the Zhanghe River Upstream
 Management Bureau. Moreover, an integrated water management system for the
 entire watershed is recommended.

Title: An assessment of the effects of Africa's water crisis on food security and management 
Abstract:
 Food security remains one of the most pressing concerns of this century.
 This article explores the often overlooked role of water scarcity in food
 security. This is particularly important within the African context,
 because most states on the continent rely heavily on agriculture. The
 article therefore focuses on Africa, discussing triggers and practices
 related to water usage currently in place, as well as their impact on
 development. The authors offer various recommendations on how to improve
 and streamline policies to encourage efficient water use.

Title: Informal water markets and willingness to pay for water: a case study of the urban poor in Chennai City, India 
Abstract:
 The present study analyzes the role of informal markets in fulfilling the
 water requirements of poorer households in Chennai City, India. The
 results of a survey reveal that a significant number of poor people
 purchase water from informal markets and that they incur a sizeable
 expenditure on water purchases; some of these households are also willing
 to pay additional amounts for improved water supply from public sources.
 The results suggest that improvements in public water supply would
 significantly increase the welfare of the poor. The informal markets need
 to be regulated and monitored so that they can serve the households in a
 better way.

Title: Himalayan waters at the crossroads: issues and challenges 
Abstract:
 The Hindu Kush Himalayas are called the water towers of Asia as they are
 the source of 10 major rivers and have the largest snow and ice deposits
 outside the two poles. Water emanating from the HKH provides food, energy
 and ecosystem services to up to 1.3 billion people. Climate change and
 socio-economic and demographic changes have put unprecedented pressure on
 these water resources, leading to uncertain supplies, increased demands
 and higher risks of extreme events like floods and droughts. The eight
 articles in this special issue highlight various dimensions of the
 Himalayan water resources by focusing on both physical and social science
 aspects of water management.

Title: The glaciers of the Hindu Kush Himalayas: current status and observed changes from the 1980s to 2010 
Abstract:
 The fate of the Hindu Kush Himalayan glaciers has been a topic of heated
 debate due to their rapid melting and retreat. The underlying reason for
 the debate is the lack of systematic large-scale observations of the
 extent of glaciers in the region owing to the high altitude, remoteness of
 the terrain, and extreme climatic conditions. Here we present a remote
 sensing-based comprehensive assessment of the current status and observed
 changes in the glacier extent of the Hindu Kush Himalayas. It reveals
 highly heterogeneous, yet undeniable impacts of climate change.

Title: A comparative high-altitude meteorological analysis from three catchments in the Nepalese Himalaya 
Abstract:
 Meteorological studies in high-mountain environments form the basis of our
 understanding of catchment hydrology and glacier accumulation and melt
 processes, yet high-altitude (>4000&nbsp;m above sea level, asl)
 observatories are rare. This research presents meteorological data
 recorded between December 2012 and November 2013 at seven stations in
 Nepal, ranging in elevation from 3860 to 5360&nbsp;m asl. Seasonal and
 diurnal cycles in air temperature, vapour pressure, incoming short-wave
 and long-wave radiation, atmospheric transmissivity, wind speed, and
 precipitation are compared between sites. Solar radiation strongly affects
 diurnal temperature and vapour pressure cycles, but local topography and
 valley-scale circulations alter wind speed and precipitation cycles. The
 observed diurnal variability in vertical temperature gradients in all
 seasons highlights the importance of <italic>in situ</italic> measurements
 for melt modelling. The monsoon signal (progressive onset and sharp end)
 is visible in all data-sets, and the passage of the remnants of Typhoon
 Phailin in mid-October 2013 provides an interesting case study on the
 possible effects of such storms on glaciers in the region.

Title: Impact of climate change on the hydrological regime of the Indus, Ganges and Brahmaputra river basins: a review of the literature 
Abstract:
 The Indus, Ganges and Brahmaputra river basins support 700 million people
 in Asia. The water resources are used for irrigation, drinking, industry,
 navigation and hydropower. This paper reviews the literature on the impact
 of climate change on the hydrological regime of these river basins and
 suggests that the different basins are likely to be affected in different
 ways. Climate change will have a marked affect on meltwater in the Indus
 Basin and may result in increased flood risk in the Brahmaputra Basin. The
 overall impact on annual discharge is likely to be low, but more studies
 are required to understand intra-annual changes and the impact of extreme
 events.

Title: A comprehensive approach and methods for glacial lake outburst flood risk assessment, with examples from Nepal and the transboundary area 
Abstract:
 Like other mountainous areas, Nepal is highly vulnerable to glacial lake
 outburst floods (GLOFs), and this vulnerability has increased due to
 climate change. Risk reduction strategies must be based on a comprehensive
 risk assessment. A comprehensive methodological approach for GLOF risk
 assessment is described and illustrated in case studies of the potential
 GLOF risk posed in Nepal by four glacial lakes, one located in China.
 People, property and public infrastructure (including hydropower plants,
 roads and bridges) are vulnerable, and there is a need to integrate GLOF
 risk reduction strategies into national policies and programmes.

Title: Establishment of a regional flood information system in the Hindu Kush Himalayas: challenges and opportunities 
Abstract:
 Rapid advances in communication technology are making access to
 information faster, more reliable, and cheaper. At the same time,
 hydrological and meteorological monitoring technologies continue to
 improve significantly. These technological advances can be exploited to
 promote regional cooperation for flood risk reduction in the Hindu Kush
 Himalayas by providing an end-to-end flood information system. The system
 will function as a decision support tool for decision makers to alert
 vulnerable communities in a timely and accurate manner. This article
 provides an example of how regional cooperation has been achieved and is
 being promoted in the Hindu Kush Himalayas through the development of a
 regional flood information system.

Title: Governance and management of local water storage in the Hindu Kush Himalayas 
Abstract:
 The people of the Hindu Kush Himalayan region face severe seasonal water
 shortages due to the high variability in rainfall, and the problem is
 likely to be exacerbated under climate change. Small-scale local water
 storage options offer a means of collecting monsoon precipitation to
 provide for agricultural and household needs over the entire year, and
 they help build community resilience. Proper watershed management, with
 due consideration of upstream-downstream linkages, and appropriate
 institutional arrangements are vital for this adaptation measure to work.
 Active participation of local users in decisions related to water
 allocation and community services is essential. Planned interventions
 should preserve the institutional arrangements of reciprocity and
 cooperation among community members.

Title: Farmers' responses to climate change impact on water availability: insights from the Indrawati Basin in Nepal 
Abstract:
 There is a need to assess the potential impacts of climate change on
 agriculture in order to plan appropriate adaptation measures. Farmers are
 already adapting to these changes to a certain degree. This article
 presents a case study of rainfed and farmer-managed irrigated agriculture
 in the Indrawati Basin, Nepal. It describes farmers' perceptions of
 climate change, an analysis of historical water availability, and future
 projections of temperature and precipitation. Adaptation strategies
 already being used by farmers are identified and new ones are recommended
 based on primary information collected from farmers and an in-depth
 analysis of the climate data.

Title: Integrated water resources management in Nepal: key stakeholders' perceptions and lessons learned 
Abstract:
 Integrated water resources management (IWRM) has been prescribed in the
 global water policy literature for decades. This article looks at how the
 concept has been applied in Nepal. It highlights the normative approach in
 IWRM policy formulation, the existing institutional barriers to apply it
 and how these resulted in the framing of IWRM 'implementation' as merely a
 compilation of donor-funded projects. Current discourse on IWRM highlights
 the need to shift the emphasis from national policy formulation to local
 adaptive, pragmatic approaches to IWRM. This article brings to light the
 need to identify potential entry points to scale up locally rooted water
 management approaches towards the development of nested institutional
 set-ups in water resources management.

Title: Financial challenges of the nexus: pathways for investment in water, energy and agriculture in the Arab world 
Abstract:
 The Water-Energy-Food (WEF) nexus is a development challenge in the Arab
 world, particularly in the 'core nexus countries' with low to mid-incomes
 in which limited water endowments permit agricultural production, such as
 Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, Lebanon, Algeria, Sudan and Jordan. The WEF nexus
 is often conceptualized in mere technocratic terms, yet politics matter in
 the implementation of projects that address it. Internalizing hydrological
 externalities or leaving them as they are and financing them as a public
 good requires states whose capacities have been reduced as a result of
 neoliberal reform. The article explores five different pathways of how
 Arab countries could finance green growth projects ranging from regional
 financial markets to concessionary loans by funds from oil rich Gulf
 countries.

Title: Food-water security and virtual water trade in the Middle East and North Africa 
Abstract:
 The purpose of this study is to analyze the political economy of
 food-water security in the water-scarce Middle East and North Africa
 region. The study deploys the lens of virtual water trade to determine how
 the region's economies have met their rising food-water requirements over
 the past three decades. It is shown that the region's water and food
 security currently depend to a considerable extent on water from outside
 the region, 'embedded' in food imports and accessed through trade. The
 analysis includes blue (surface and groundwater) and green water
 resources.

Title: Rapid assessment of the water-energy-food-climate nexus in six selected basins of North Africa and West Asia undergoing transitions and scarcity threats 
Abstract:
 Existing strategies for management of water scarcity in the Middle East
 and North Africa negotiate a complex system of trade-offs between water,
 energy, and food production. The effects of rural households' green water
 management practices on basin-level water, energy, food and carbon stocks
 and flows are sketched qualitatively in six basin agro-ecosystems. The
 case for increased strategic support for green agricultural water
 management practices appears stronger when weighed from the nexus
 perspective, rather than purely from the point of view of water balance
 and food production. Trade-offs under critical transitions affecting
 agricultural water use are explored, and the scope for quantitative
 monitoring is discussed.

Title: The nexus as a political commodity: agricultural development, water policy and elite rivalry in Egypt 
Abstract:
 Thinking of the interconnections between water, food, energy and climate
 is nothing new in the Nile Basin; it has long been anchored in political
 struggles. For 200 years, Egypt's political economy has been defined by
 water use patterns and food security strategies that debunk the
 technocratic myth that rapid growth, interaction with global markets and
 technological modernization eliminate poor governance practices and
 allocative inefficiencies. In contrast, the prism of the nexus as a
 political commodity illuminates one of modern Egypt's most consequential
 dialectics: the interaction between the very particular nexus at the heart
 of the country's political economy, forged through factional strife and
 sustained by outside discourses and interests, and the economic and
 ecological ravages of this elite politics. Egyptian history serves as a
 warning. Today's conversation needs to be deconstructed in terms of how
 different forms of interconnectivity between water, energy and food are
 produced and experienced by different social groups. It reminds us to take
 interconnections not as given, but rather as contested and contestable
 outcomes from which opportunities for adaptation and transformation do not
 naturally emerge, but need to be struggled for.

Title: Nexus meets crisis: a review of conflict, natural resources and the humanitarian response in Darfur with reference to the water-energy-food nexus 
Abstract:
 Darfur has been widely used as a case study by both those arguing for
 causality between environmental scarcity and war and those disputing it.
 This article challenges that approach by drawing on debates taking place
 within Darfur, reflecting on both the conflict and the humanitarian
 response. It argues that reviewing Darfur on its own terms makes a
 stronger basis to identify transferable lessons for interventions
 elsewhere. It considers water, food and energy, and finds that supporting
 governance is an essential theme for promoting economic recovery and
 laying a foundation for a well-managed water-energy-food nexus.

Title: To what end? Drip irrigation and the water-energy-food nexus in Morocco 
Abstract:
 This article draws on three case studies of drip irrigation adoption in
 Morocco to consider the water-energy-food nexus concept from a bottom-up
 perspective. Findings indicate that small farmers' adoption of drip
 irrigation is conditional, that water and energy efficiency does not
 necessarily reduce overall consumption, and that adoption of drip
 irrigation (and policies supporting it) can create winners and losers. The
 article concludes that, although the water-energy-food WEF nexus concept
 may offer useful insights, its use in policy formulation should be
 tempered with caution. Technical options that appear beneficial at the
 conceptual level can have unintended consequences in practice, and
 policies focused on issues of scarcity and efficiency may exacerbate other
 dimensions of poverty and inequality.

Title: Virtual-water content of agricultural production and food trade balance of Tunisia 
Abstract:
 This article is devoted to the assessment of Tunisian agricultural
 production and food trade balance water-equivalent. A linear regression
 model relating annual rainfall to crop yields is developed to estimate the
 agricultural production water-equivalent. Its implementation is based on
 national data for crop and animal production, leading to food demand
 water-equivalent quantification. Results highlight the relationship
 between agricultural and water policies and provide a picture of food
 security in the country in relation to local agricultural production, and
 to virtual water fluxes related to foodstuffs trade balance.

Title: Energy cost of irrigation policy in Morocco: a social accounting matrix assessment 
Abstract:
 The objective of this study was to assess the consumption and the
 multiplier effect of the use of energy and irrigation water for rainfed
 and irrigated agriculture at the national level in Morocco. Using a social
 accounting matrix, the direct and indirect economic effects of subsidizing
 energy used by agriculture were identified. The results show that
 irrigation water policy in Morocco, which targets 'water-saving'
 techniques, has increased the use of subsidized energy and that indirect
 effects, through energy subsidies, exceed the direct effects of
 agricultural subsidies. A social accounting matrix can help decision
 makers make the necessary trade-offs between irrigated and rainfed
 agriculture.

Title: Impact of the Syrian conflict on irrigated agriculture in the Orontes Basin 
Abstract:
 The impact of conflict on irrigated agriculture and consequently summer
 crop production within conflict-affected agricultural lands was observed
 in the Orontes Basin. Water and energy use were reconfigured through a
 transition from rainfed to irrigated agricultural production over the past
 20 years, but have been disrupted as the Syrian war has unfolded since
 2011. Remotely sensed vegetation indices were used to determine irrigated
 summer crop yields during the year 2013. Findings suggest that irrigated
 agricultural production dropped between 15% and 30% in the Syrian portion
 of the basin in 2000-2013, with hotspots identifiable in Idleb, Homs,
 Hama, Daraa and Aleppo. The developed approach demonstrated effectiveness
 in quantifying and geolocating hotspots where conflicts have the strongest
 impact on agricultural water use, agricultural production, and eventually
 support relief and regional agricultural reconstruction in this and other
 conflict regions.

Title: Climate change and food-water supply from Africa's drylands: local impacts and teleconnections through global commodity flows 
Abstract:
 This article uses the WaterWorld Policy Support System, coupled with a
 global database for commodity flows, to examine the impacts of AR4 SRES
 climate change scenarios on Africa's drylands and the commodity flows that
 originate from them. It shows that changes to precipitation and, to a
 lesser extent, temperature in Africa's drylands can significantly affect
 the potential to supply water-for-food locally and internationally. By
 comparing the geographical distribution of climate change with the supply
 chain-connected distribution of climate change, it shows how food-water
 impacts of climate change may affect local dryland populations but also
 those dependent on these flows from afar.

Title: Towards a water-energy-food nexus policy: realizing the blue and green virtual water of agriculture in Jordan 
Abstract:
 Virtual water is an important addendum to how we view a country's water
 resources. This study examines the virtual water embedded in Jordan's
 agricultural produce and its impact on future water-energy-food policies.
 Blue and green virtual waters are calculated from data on rainfall, crop
 patterns, yields, and water requirements at the district level. Results
 highlight the advantages of blue water usage in the Jordan Valley and of
 harnessing more available green water in the Highlands, with both
 displaying low energy impact. Results also emphasize the high groundwater
 usage and energy footprint in the Desert regions, signalling a need to
 rein in groundwater extraction and take advantage of solar power.

Title: Water resources development considerations for civilian and military institutions working in highly insecure areas: lessons from Afghanistan 
Abstract:
 Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan included an unprecedented level
 of international civilian and military cooperation to address water
 insecurity within violence-prone rural communities. However, water
 development projects often fell short of expectations held by Afghans and
 by civilian and military personnel within the International Security
 Assistance Force. Failure to adequately consider hydrologic principles and
 social realities was often to blame. Joint pre-deployment training
 programmes are suggested as key to effective coordination and tactical
 implementation to address similar problems elsewhere. Also needed are
 consistent use of metrics for success and the selection of appropriate
 interventions complementary to long-term development objectives.

Title: A legal licence for an ecological disaster: the inadequacies of the 1973 Helmand/Hirmand water treaty for sustainable transboundary water resources development 
Abstract:
 This article questions whether the 1973 Helmand/Hirmand water treaty
 between Afghanistan and Iran is an appropriate institutional tool for
 sustainable water resources management in the context of transboundary
 water resources development. It shows that by failing to fulfil the most
 basic requisites for integrated water resources management and river basin
 management, the treaty does not ensure the integrity of the downstream
 agro-ecological system in the Sistan Delta. As a result, the 1973 treaty
 may not be the most relevant water regime for helping to balance
 legitimate development in upstream Afghanistan while also limiting harms
 to downstream Iran.

Title: Sustainable planning model toward reviving Lake Urmia 
Abstract:
 Lake Urmia (<italic>Urumieh</italic> in Persian) in north-western Iran is
 one of the largest permanent hyper-saline lakes in the world and the
 largest lake in the Middle East. It has numerous ecological, economic and
 social implications in terms of biodiversity, climate, species, habitat,
 tourism and recreation. However, during the past decade, the lake has
 shrunk significantly and its depth has fallen by almost 6&nbsp;m. Contrary
 to other studies that have focused on the geomorphology of the lake, this
 study analyses the socio-environmental impact and provides a sustainable
 adaptive governance management model for its revival. This study reveals
 that unless various stakeholders and affected parties are actively
 involved in an implementable adaptive governance model, the fate of the
 lake will remain uncertain.

Title: Adaptive water management in Israel: structure and policy options 
Abstract:
 Difficulties in integrating technical, economic and institutional factors
 present a major gap in analytical capacity to guide water policy. This
 article presents an integrated framework to support water policy and guide
 water management choices, with application to Israel. That framework rests
 on the theory of economic policy originally developed by Tinbergen. It
 sees national water challenges as consisting of external factors,
 constraints, policy instruments and targets. The need for a modern
 implementation of the theory of economic policy is motivated by emerging
 environmental requirements, scarce water, growing demands for domestic
 use, and ongoing needs to implement existing and potential peace
 agreements.

Title: Trends and perceptions of rural household groundwater use and the implications for smallholder agriculture in rain-fed Southern Laos 
Abstract:
 In Laos, the extent of rural groundwater use is largely unknown. This
 paper presents results of a study conducted in Champasak province,
 Southern Laos, to examine rural household attitudes to groundwater use and
 management; and to gauge farmer perceptions of the
 opportunities/constraints of increased groundwater use for smallholder
 agriculture. Significant differences in groundwater use, total cash income
 and perceived groundwater quality were found. Further agricultural
 expansion was constrained by insufficient labour and the limited area of
 individual landholdings, not by the limited groundwater supply, which was
 the preferred source to fulfil increased demands for domestic/agricultural
 use. There were no groundwater regulations.

Title: Adaptation, resilience and sustainable livelihoods in the communities of the Lower Mekong Basin, Cambodia 
Abstract:
 This paper analyses key contributors to sustainable livelihoods in the
 Lower Mekong Basin (LMB), Cambodia, by focusing upon villagers' access to
 assets, adaptation to shock and stress, and their degree of resilience to
 declines in natural resources. The study reveals that their access to the
 five assets for sustainable livelihoods is limited; that their capacity to
 adapt to shock and stress is low due to floods, drought and high food
 prices; and that their resilience to declines in natural resources is
 weak. Improvement in their capacity to adapt and in their resilience will
 be influenced by the degree to which they can access human, physical and
 social assets.

Title: The effectiveness of small-to-medium river basin organizations in China: a case study of the Erhai Lake Basin Management Commission 
Abstract:
 Drawing on empirical evidence from a case study conducted in the upper
 Mekong catchment, this article assesses the performance of the Erhai Lake
 Basin Management Commission, an organization mandated to control pollution
 and integrate the diverse interests of those individuals and communities
 living and working near Erhai Lake. Clear local rules, strong enforcement,
 practical protocols, clear responsibilities and extensive mobilization
 have been crucial to the success of this small river basin organization.
 However, the insufficient involvement of numerous important stakeholders
 in decision-making processes has decreased the commission's capacity to
 address water issues.

Title: Groundwater depletion and water extraction cost: some evidence from South India 
Abstract:
 From less than 6 million ha in 1950-51, groundwater-irrigated area
 increased to about 45 million ha in 2010-11, which is over 62% of India's
 net irrigated area. But the rapid development of groundwater has brought
 many negative outcomes for farmers. An attempt is made in this study to
 find out the losers and gainers of groundwater irrigation using survey
 data on 234 dug-well- and bore-well-owning farmers selected from two
 regions having different agro-economic settings in the Pudukkottai
 District of Tamil Nadu, a state in South India. The study shows that the
 dug-well- and bore-well-owning farmers had to incur a huge additional cost
 on account of modifications of wells in order to keep up with the falling
 water level. The modification cost alone accounted for about 33-48% of the
 real capital of bore-wells. The pumping cost of water is found to be
 higher for bore-wells fitted with submersible pump-sets as compared to
 deep bore-wells fitted with submersible pump-sets.

Title: Assessment of the environmental, social and economic benefits of a water transfer tunnel in the Nakdong River, Korea 
Abstract:
 This study compares the benefits and disadvantages of two options, i.e.
 dam construction and a water transfer tunnel between two existing dams,
 with a particular focus on their effects on the natural environment and
 local communities and their respective economic efficiencies. It is
 concluded that significant advantages exist for the construction of a
 water transfer tunnel between two dams in Korea. This option would secure
 water resources in a manner that minimizes the economic, environmental and
 social effects of water resource development and which maximizes the
 utility of existing water resources.

Title: Supplementing urban water supply with rainwater harvesting in Accra, Ghana 
Abstract:
 This article examines the challenges associated with rainwater harvesting
 and usage in peri-urban Accra. Data collected from 357 heads of household
 reveal that rainwater harvesting has the potential to supplement existing
 water sources in peri-urban Accra. However, high investment costs for
 rainwater harvesting facilities, short-term tenancy arrangements, the
 perception that rainwater is not clean, and the unique dry climate of the
 Accra Plains emerge as key challenges limiting domestic use of rainwater.
 Public education for house owners to invest in rainwater harvesting
 facilities and governmental support will be needed to increase investment
 in rainwater harvesting, purification and usage.

Title: Groundwater use in Spain: an overview in light of the EU Water Framework Directive 
Abstract:
 In semi-arid regions, aquifers provide a series of practical advantages
 that make them preferential sources of water supply. In Spain, groundwater
 meets about one-fifth of the total water demand and is used to irrigate
 over one-third of the total irrigated land. This article examines
 groundwater use in Spain from the perspective of the EU Water Framework
 Directive. Analysis of different sector uses suggests that core problems
 (and solutions) related to groundwater lie in agricultural uses and that
 the Directive's environmental requirements remain distant from reality on
 the ground, where economic, political and social reasons prevail on legal
 obligations set by national and supranational authorities.

Title: Towards a more flexible water concession system in Spain: public water banks in Andalusia 
Abstract:
 The traditional management paradigm that has governed water policy in
 Spain during the last century is currently undergoing a critical process
 of change. Recently, regional Andalusian and national legislation have
 developed a new framework, where novel strategies, based on the
 reallocation of concessional rights, can be adopted to respond to water
 shortage conditions. The purpose of this study is to examine the factors
 that could potentially affect the legal reform in Andalusia, which is
 targeted at developing a market-based redistribution system of water
 rights in the various river basins within the region.

Title: Spatial Water Use efficiency Index towards resource sustainability: application in the island of Crete, Greece 
Abstract:
 This paper introduces a new index to test water resource sustainability in
 regions where groundwater is the main source of water supply. The Spatial
 Water Use efficiency Index (SWUI) is a geographical information system
 (GIS) environment index which expresses the ratio of potential available
 water volume (groundwater recharge minus water needs) to the respective
 water needs. Its low and/or negative values indicate water stress. SWUI is
 applied in the island of Crete, Greece, where water needs are mainly
 covered by groundwater abstractions. The annual water mass balance is
 estimated using the RIBASIM (River Basin Simulation) model. The total
 freshwater needs in the Cretan region reach 535&nbsp;hm-super-3 annually
 according to the model's simulation. SWUI with values ranging from  -
 &nbsp;0.8 to 214.3 has proved to be an important visual tool towards
 depicting the low efficiency of the east part of the island to cover water
 demand and a useful decision-making tool in the sustainability evaluation
 of groundwater aquifers.

Title: Cumulative risk management, coal seam gas, sustainable water, and agriculture in Australia 
Abstract:
 Australian communities are lobbying governments to improve regulation of
 the Coal Seam Gas (CSG), a fast growing industry. This article examines
 the effect of CSG extraction on agriculture, water resources and
 ecosystems in Queensland where CSG development is most intense. Supporters
 of the industry view Queensland's regulatory framework as 'best-practice'.
 Whilst policy documents adopt an 'adaptive management' framework,
 legislation provides an enabling environment for industry, allowing
 unlimited volumes of groundwater to be extracted as a by-product. In an
 important agricultural region, the Darling Downs, irrigators who access
 groundwater in the same area as the CSG mining are experiencing water
 quality and quantity problems. Regulation provides limited 'make-good'
 arrangements for individuals if groundwater wells suffer impact. While
 potential impacts on individual wells and farmers are locally significant,
 there is limited recognition of cumulative risk management of CSG
 development at the regional scale. Contrasting two risk assessment
 approaches, the authors suggest a more appropriate pre-emptive regulatory
 framework for a stronger focus on cumulative risk management to
 satisfactorily address sustainable water management, irrigated agriculture
 and development issues. Lessons may assist other countries grappling with
 managing impacts on agriculture and the environment.

Title: Investing in recovering water for the environment in Australia's Murray-Darling Basin 
Abstract:
 Irrigated agriculture makes an important contribution to the economy of
 Australia's Murray-Darling Basin. Competing water demand, recurring
 drought and climate change have ushered in an era of water policy reform.
 To recover water for the environment, surface water extraction is capped
 and investment in irrigation infrastructure is prioritized. This article
 applies a computable general equilibrium model to evaluate the economic
 impacts of investment in irrigation in a case study of the Murrumbidgee
 subcatchment. Results indicate an increase in regional output, income and
 employment, while at the national level there is a small negative impact
 resulting from the transfer of resources to the basin and the crowding out
 of private investment.

Title: 'Integrated' approaches to water and natural resources management in South Australia 
Abstract:
 In the context of criticism that the definition and scope of integrated
 water resources management have not been clearly defined, experience in
 South Australia from the early 1970s to 2014 related to a holistic and
 integrated approach to water and natural resources management is examined.
 Three different approaches have been used in South Australia, each
 striving to be more holistic and integrated than its predecessor. A key
 challenge for managers is to achieve efficient and effective
 implementation of related policies, programmes and plans as more aspects
 become incorporated into a holistic and integrated approach. A main
 conclusion is that to successfully implement a holistic and integrated
 approach it is essential to be clear what 'integrated' and 'holistic'
 mean, because they are not the same or interchangeable. Furthermore,
 integrated and focused approaches are not mutually exclusive, and can be
 pursued simultaneously. This conclusion questions the argument that an
 integrated approach inevitably leads to so many variables being considered
 that it becomes so complex, unwieldy and cumbersome that it leads to
 non-actionable initiatives.

Title: The evolution of water management in Alberta, Canada: the influence of global management paradigms and path dependency 
Abstract:
 This study examines the evolution of Alberta's water management framework
 in response to changing demands, national policy and global paradigms. The
 South Saskatchewan River basin is presented as the crucible for Albertan
 water policy, given the severity of droughts, over-allocation, and
 environmental degradation. The analysis finds a distinct trend in the past
 two decades towards integration and sustainable management, as affirmed by
 the globally dominant integrated water resource management paradigm. The
 concept of path dependency offers valuable insight into the barriers posed
 by past policy frameworks to water management systems, particularly in
 relation to the prior-allocation system of water rights.

Title: Applying water soft path analysis in small urban areas: four Canadian case studies 
Abstract:
 Water soft paths begin from the vision that future water management has
 more to gain from reducing demand than from increasing supply. This
 article reviews three case studies of water soft path analysis in small
 urban areas in Canada, and one study of an urban planning process
 incorporating soft path concepts. The analytical studies indicate how
 communities can avoid the need for expansion of water infrastructure with
 negligible impacts on lifestyles or livelihoods. The planning study
 demonstrates that it is possible to introduce water soft paths early in a
 review, and that this will stimulate more ecologically sensitive thinking
 among citizens, officials and political leaders. Similar conclusions can
 be expected from soft path studies in urban areas elsewhere in the
 developed world.

Title: Tourism as tragedy? Common problems with water in post-revolutionary Nicaragua 
Abstract:
 This paper examines the increased demand placed on limited water resources
 by a rapidly growing tourism sector in Playa Gigante, Nicaragua. Results
 from field campaigns suggest that recharge of the local aquifer may not
 meet burgeoning tourism demands for water. This paper also points to
 initial conflicts over water between locals and tourism operations, which
 are further complicated by ineffective implementation of national water
 policies and the common pool nature of groundwater. The conclusion
 discusses the need for more extensive research and better implementation
 of water policy through community governance and collaboration.

Title: Integrated water resources management in an insecure river basin: a case study of Helmand River Basin, Afghanistan 
Abstract:
 The Helmand River Basin is a closed river basin in (semi)arid southern
 Afghanistan, Iran and Pakistan. Irrigation is by far the largest surface
 water use. Two of the three main rivers have large dams that regulate
 river flow for irrigation and hydropower. Water management in the basin
 faces a number of challenges, among which are insecurity, collapse of the
 river flow monitoring network in the Afghan part of the basin in 1980,
 inefficient operation and maintenance of existing water infrastructure,
 many drought years since 1999, reduced upstream water storage due to
 siltation of reservoirs, and a possible future reduction in snow storage
 as a result of a predicted temperature rise. The paper presents: (1) an
 overview of water resources and water management in the Helmand River
 Basin, where data are scarce and difficult to access; (2) a description of
 innovative methods used to generate simulated flow data for the basin,
 including the use of globally gridded data sets; (3) a discussion of how
 the reservoirs could be operated in light of irrigation and hydropower
 demand; and (4) a discussion on strengthening the transboundary
 cooperation between Afghanistan and Iran.

Title: An evaluation of M&#x101;ori values in multiscalar environmental policies governing Kaipara Harbour in New Zealand 
Abstract:
 Indigenous knowledge and values are increasingly found in watershed
 management to engage important stakeholders in the development of modern
 resource management practices and policies. This paper explores the
 integration of M&#x101;ori values in water and land policies governing
 Kaipara Harbour in New Zealand as a case study for this approach.
 Multijurisdictional documents were analysed for the inclusion of nine
 well-established M&#x101;ori values that have applications to land, water
 and natural resource management. The results of this study identified the
 most and least commonly mentioned values in policy documents, and a scalar
 trend in which integration of M&#x101;ori values increased as the
 geographic scale and jurisdiction of the respective governing policies
 decreased.

Title: Social performance in public services delivery: conceptual roots and results for the Portuguese water sector 
Abstract:
 This study explores the relationship between social performance and the
 sector providing the water service. The empirical analysis demonstrates
 that public property, the management model (in this case bureaucracy and
 municipal corporations), and lower organizational costs for public
 property and public management models do present higher social performance
 (lower user prices and higher quality water levels, with exceptions)
 levels than private firms. Policy implementations are clear: cease private
 firms' entrance into public services delivery until lower organizational
 costs, higher quality services and lower user prices are secured. This
 also raises discussions about neo-bureaucracies as the ideal management
 model for public services provision.

Title: Stakeholder collaboration in the Columbia River Treaty Review process 
Abstract:
 The public participation element of the Columbia River Treaty Review
 process conducted in the United States was assessed: to what extent did it
 incorporate participation by basin stakeholders, how importantly did this
 figure in the minds of stakeholders, and what is the prospect for
 stakeholder concerns to be given meaningful attention by the US Department
 of State in deliberations and actions concerning the future of the treaty?
 The analysis revealed that collaboration is important to stakeholders, and
 the process facilitated a significant degree of collaboration. The
 continuation of collaboration in treaty negotiation and in post-2024
 treaty implementation was recommended.

Title: Environmental management in Urmia Lake: thresholds approach 
Abstract:
 Urmia Lake is a vivid example of negligence in providing the environmental
 water requirement rooted in prolonged droughts and excessive upstream
 water withdrawal. The aim of this study is to propose a reclamation
 strategy for the lake by focusing on estimation of environmental
 requirement thresholds under various drought severity conditions. On the
 average, the lake will remain in a moderate hydrological drought condition
 if the business-as-usual scenario prevails. The shares of natural drought,
 water withdrawals and water resources development projects (i.e. dams) in
 recent lake inflow reduction are estimated at 45%, 40% and 15%,
 respectively; thus, the aggregated contribution of human-induced factors
 has a more significant impact on the current lake condition than that of
 natural drought, and a firm and consistent approach to reduce water
 consumption by the agricultural sector is required for lake reclamation.

Title: Rainfall-runoff modelling of water resources in the upper Senegal River basin 
Abstract:
 The streamflow series for the upstream basin of the Senegal River is
 marked by considerable gaps. The objective of this article is to simulate
 and extend hydrological data, using the GR2M rainfall-runoff model. A
 sensitivity analysis of the model to rainfall and water holding capacity
 input data was performed. This analysis was performed after calculating
 catchment rainfall, mean potential evapotranspiration, and maximum,
 minimum and mean water holding capacity. The best combination of input
 data was chosen by catchment based on the Nash-Sutcliffe criterion. Then
 cross calibration-validation tests were performed, using the selected
 input data to choose model parameter sets.

Title: Examining uncertainty and trust among irrigators and regulatory bodies in the Murray-Darling Basin 
Abstract:
 Due to changing climate and water legislation in South Australia,
 Australia's oldest water trust, the Renmark Irrigation Trust (RIT), and
 the community it serves have faced unprecedented changes in water
 allocations. Using participatory research methods, this article examines
 irrigators' perceptions of risk, uncertainty and trust in relation to
 changing water legislation and drought. The social, cultural and
 regulatory relationship between irrigators and the RIT and the conditions
 in which trust is given are also explored. Foucault's understanding of
 power provides the analytical context in which we examine how power and
 knowledge are constituted, negotiated and reconstructed at the local level
 to shape trust between individuals and the RIT.

Title: Sleeping with the enemy? Capturing internal risks in the logical framework of a water management project 
Abstract:
 Logframes are fundamental to contemporary development. However, there are
 ongoing debates about their efficacy. This paper pinpoints the limitations
 of the logframe approach in a water project in Central Asia. Issues
 surrounding logframes are identified. These include addressing internal
 risks; the use of baseline studies for the accuracy of assumptions; the
 ability to adapt under an inflexible budget; and linking the logframe and
 contract. Findings show that rigid planning may constrain effective
 project implementation. Greater flexibility through embedded learning and
 adaptation, adjustable budgets and meaningful mainstreaming of risks may
 equip projects to cope with uncertainties to achieve sustainability.

Title: Drivers of water governance reforms in the Philippines 
Abstract:
 This paper analyses the enabling conditions for a water governance model
 responsive to future Philippine water requirements. Using the stage-based
 approach to institutional reforms, it assesses the outcomes of previous
 water governance reforms, such as conflicts in customary and formal rules;
 urban and rural; upstream and downstream; and the contestations in water
 supply privatization in Metro Manila. The analysis suggests that past
 water governance reforms were symbolic and procedural, and structural
 changes to support the legal frameworks were not achieved. Based on the
 case findings, the authors support the current reform agenda of
 implementing a decentralized framework of water governance at a watershed
 scale.

Title: Lake management organizations in China 
Abstract:
 The paper analyses the range of lake management organizations (LMOs)
 established in China and proposes management recommendations for different
 lake types and contexts. Based on functions, regional coverage and
 sectoral focus, nine LMO patterns are identified, ranging from existing
 agency approaches in which there is no specific lake focus or
 institutional responsibility to comprehensive and powerful lake basin
 authorities. LMO development in China faces many challenges, including a
 preoccupation with organizational form rather than function and
 objectives, duplication with existing agency functions, and insufficient
 lake basin management and trans-jurisdictional coordination. We therefore
 propose that LMOs should be tailored to specific situations and problems,
 drawing distinctions between plateau, urban, plain, inland and wetland
 lakes as well as other contexts.

Title: Complicating neoliberalization and decentralization: the non-linear experience of Colombian water supply, 1909--2012 
Abstract:
 This article presents key elements in the evolution of water supply
 regulation in Colombia over the twentieth century. This is novel in that
 it contradicts widely accepted and seemingly universal trends in water
 supply development. By putting apparently recent phenomena into a longer
 historical trajectory, we are able to nuance the idea of a unidirectional
 transition from centralized to decentralized governance, as well as the
 evolution of policies associated with neoliberalization. We find that
 regulatory development began at the municipal scale in the 1920s, only to
 be centralized mid-century. By the same token, policies typically
 associated with neoliberalization -- such as corporatization, full cost
 recovery, and volumetric metering -- began in the 1910s and 1920s and not
 under neoliberalism in the 1980s. The work is based on a database compiled
 by the authors. The database comprises municipal, departmental and state
 regulatory interventions from 1909 to 2012.

Title: Impacts and interaction in irrigation development in central Chile 
Abstract:
 The purpose of this study was to apply an innovative model of expansion to
 irrigation management and development in fruit exporting regions in
 central Chile. The model showed how external influences (globalization,
 climate, mountains) and complex adaptive systems (water conflicts,
 institutions and markets) influenced the evolution of irrigation
 development (the extension and emergence of novel properties) towards
 constructive (planned irrigation development) and destructive (climate
 change) futures. The model was simple, geometrical, consistent and future
 oriented. It was an innovative representation of expanding irrigation
 development and valuable to entrepreneurial water developers because it
 described the macro-scale processes involved in irrigation development.

Title: Institutional arrangements for the use of treated effluent in irrigation, Western Cape, South Africa 
Abstract:
 Wastewater is increasingly regarded as a valuable resource, but to fully
 and safely exploit the potential, sound institutional arrangements
 governing its reuse are crucial. This article presents a case study of a
 self-managed irrigation scheme in Western Cape, South Africa, that uses
 treated effluent directly, formally and safely. By applying the
 Institutional Analysis and Development framework, the variables within the
 context, action arena and patterns of interaction that have enabled this
 outcome are systematically identified and evaluated. Key variables
 include: water scarcity; an effective policy and regulatory framework;
 public pollution prevention awareness; self-organization; and
 capital-intensive water use linked to profitable markets.

Title: Institutional arrangements for watershed development programmes in Bundelkhand region of Madhya Pradesh, India: an explorative study 
Abstract:
 This study explored institutional arrangements with regard to
 government-sponsored watershed development programmes in the Bundelkhand
 region of Madhya Pradesh, India. The appraisal of structure and role of
 institutions at different levels revealed adequate representation of
 various social groups, but the associations among stakeholder institutions
 as well as various resource agencies were found to be weak. A glance at
 the component-wise expenditure pattern showed an unequal emphasis and
 funding support between land--water development and livelihood activities.
 Responses from beneficiary respondents revealed a strong adherence to
 socio-economic and political issues by non-governmental organizations as
 well as technical issues by government organizations during implementation
 of the watershed programmes.

Title: Hydraulic bureaucracies and Irrigation Management Transfer in Uzbekistan: the case of Samarkand Province 
Abstract:
 Since the 1990s, Irrigation Management Transfer has been considered the
 world over to be a policy aimed at rolling back state influence in water
 management according to a neo-liberal approach. The initiative was
 endorsed by international organizations as a way of reforming the water
 sector in developing countries. Reflecting on this process, the role of
 hydraulic bureaucracies in driving reforms oriented towards IMT has often
 been neglected in academic debate. This article discusses the logic of IMT
 implementation and the establishment of Water Users' Associations (WUAs)
 in Uzbekistan, specifically in Samarkand province. These dynamics have
 been analysed over the last 10 years showing different trajectories within
 Uzbekistan. Data were collected through extensive fieldwork in three
 districts in Samarkand province. The evidence acquired shows that, on the
 one hand, WUAs were established to be a new structure for state control
 over water and agriculture, in conflict with IMT rationale, and, on the
 other, that WUAs were created in the province as a result of a local
 initiative promoted by the hydraulic bureaucracy and accepted by the
 national authorities due to influential power relations.

Title: Hydropower production without sacrificing environment: a case study of Ilisu Dam and Hasankeyf 
Abstract:
 The Ilisu Dam and HEPP Project, on the Tigris River in the South-Eastern
 Anatolia Region of Turkey, has been under debate for more than half a
 century due to its possible adverse effects on the environment. In
 particular, the proposed inundation of the archaeological sites around
 Hasankeyf has prompted strong criticism from national and international
 organizations. The primary reason for the administration's insistence on
 construction of the dam is its energy production capacity. The present
 study is an assessment of an alternative solution that not only saves
 Hasankeyf with its countless ancient monuments from inundation but also
 supplies the projected energy production of Ilisu Dam.

Title: The impacts of hydropower development on rural livelihood sustenance 
Abstract:
 The existing reservoirs on the River Tana (Kenya) were mainly constructed
 for hydropower generation, with inadequate consideration of the long-term
 impacts on downstream livelihoods. We investigated the impacts of the
 reservoirs on people's livelihoods downstream. The results showed a few
 positive impacts in the vicinity of the reservoirs and numerous negative
 impacts downstream (i.e. reduced flood-recess agriculture and floodplain
 pastoralism, and escalating resource-use conflicts). Inadequate
 stakeholders' consultation during reservoir development was also observed.
 We recommend a detailed basin-wide socioeconomic assessment for future
 reservoir developments and controlled flood release to simulate the
 natural flow regime, thereby restoring indigenous flood-based livelihoods
 while retaining sufficient reserves for power generation.

Title: The impacts of dams on local livelihoods: a study of the Bui Hydroelectric Project in Ghana 
Abstract:
 The construction of the Bui Dam was expected to boost socio-economic
 development in Ghana. This article examines the impacts of the project on
 the livelihoods of the local people. Data were collected using a
 mixed-research approach and a case-study design. The study finds that,
 while there have been significant improvements with respect to
 resettlement and compensation issues as compared to the earlier dam
 projects in Ghana, there are still some shortfalls. It is recommended that
 agriculture be improved by providing extension services and inputs to
 improve food security and the economic status of the local people.

Title: Water megaprojects in deserts and drylands 
Abstract:
 Water megaprojects reconfigure the conception and use of desert
 landscapes. Driven by limited water resources, increasing demand and
 growing populations, projects are framed by statements of water delivered,
 end-users served and local benefits. Decision-making processes,
 socio-economic costs and environmental implications receive less
 attention. Research examines the motivations involved and evaluates the
 challenges of water megaprojects in deserts, including the Great Manmade
 River (Libya), the South-to-North Water Transfer Scheme (China), the
 Central Arizona Project (United States) and the Greater Anatolia Project
 (Turkey), and assesses related projects exemplifying the diversity of
 water projects in drylands. Their viability and efficacy depends on human
 motivations and interpretations.

Title: Dry season water allocation in the Chao Phraya River basin, Thailand 
Abstract:
 This study examines the recent quantitative characteristics of dry season
 water allocation in the Chao Phraya River basin, Thailand. Previous
 studies have focused on inequitable allocation, where the highest priority
 is given to the domestic water sector and uneven irrigation water
 variability exists among projects in the delta. This study uses a
 statistical test and panel data analysis to confirm that the
 characteristics highlighted in previous studies remain accurate, and it
 discusses the source of these characteristics in order to understand the
 issues in water allocation in the Chao Phraya River delta.

Title: A framework for understanding energy for water 
Abstract:
 This article offers a framework for understanding how energy is used to
 meet water demand in countries. Specifically, the relationships between
 energy use and water scarcity, the location of renewable water resources,
 and aggregate water demand are explored. The article also examines how
 policy options such as water price reforms, agriculture subsidies and crop
 elimination may influence the energy use and energy intensity of water
 withdrawals. Conclusions suggest that while policy options exist, certain
 uncontrollable factors such as severe water scarcity or substantial
 freshwater abundance limit the ability of some countries to significantly
 improve the aggregate energy efficiency of water provision.

Title: The energy trade-offs of adapting to a water-scarce future: case study of Los Angeles 
Abstract:
 Increasing water competition, population growth and global climate change
 will intensify the tension between water and energy resources in arid
 climates of the world, since energy costs underscore the challenges facing
 water security in dry regions. In few places is the tension between water
 and energy resources more pronounced than in Los Angeles, California. This
 article analyzes the city&#x2019;s current water supply and estimates its
 future energy requirements based on water supply projections from the Los
 Angeles Department of Water and Power. Results suggest that while
 increasing local water management strategies could reduce the future
 energy intensity of the water supply, an increased reliance on water
 transfers could worsen its future energy intensity.

Title: Quantifying and managing urban water-related energy use systemically: case study lessons from Australia 
Abstract:
 In this paper, three Australian case studies contribute to improved
 understanding of water-related energy quantification and management. A
 systems analysis of urban water in South East Queensland (Case
 Study&#xa0;1) demonstrates the energy impact of water end use. In
 Melbourne (Case Study&#xa0;2), water--energy interlinkages are explored
 within households. Finally, Case Study&#xa0;3 in Sydney shows how
 abatement curves can help guide management action. Collectively, the case
 studies provide new information for least-cost solutions and simultaneous
 water and energy efficiency. The work highlights the need for frameworks
 to characterize and evaluate both the direct and indirect energy
 influences of urban water.

Title: Energy for freshwater supply, use and disposal in the Netherlands: a case study of Dutch households 
Abstract:
 This study presents energy requirements for Dutch household water: 10.2 GJ
 per capita per year, which includes 9.3 GJ (92%) for heating water, 0.6 GJ
 (6%) for water supply, and 0.2 GJ for wastewater treatment (2%). The top
 three energy consumers include shower water (58%), dishwasher water (9%)
 and washing machine water (8%). The Netherlands, a water-abundant country,
 expends far more energy to heat water for households than to supply
 municipal water, or to treat and dispose of wastewater. Policies to make
 water chains more sustainable should focus on use, rather than supply and
 disposal.

Title: Evaluating the economic viability of solar-powered desalination: Saudi Arabia as a case study 
Abstract:
 This article constructs a cost calculator to estimate the economic
 competitiveness of solar-powered desalination in Saudi Arabia. Solar
 desalination is defined as a plant that obtains solar energy from a closed
 system. This is done to focus the investigation on desalination
 technologies, rather than the efficacy of replacing conventional energy
 sources with renewables in an integrated electricity grid. The results
 suggest that current options for solar-powered desalination are not
 cost-competitive compared to incumbent technologies in Saudi Arabia. The
 article offers insight into where costs must decrease before solar
 technologies are economically competitive in the country.

Title: Responding to water challenges in Greece through desalination: energy considerations 
Abstract:
 Desalination technology, and reverse osmosis in particular, is used by
 several island authorities in Greece to address water scarcity. However,
 this is a highly energy-intensive technique, requiring the consumption of
 significant quantities of fossil fuels. The case of Syros Island is
 presented, to demonstrate the strong water--energy link in the operation
 of desalination plants. The article also discusses the use of renewable
 energy sources as a means for reducing the energy intensity of
 desalination.

Title: Modernization of irrigation systems in Spain: review and analysis for decision making 
Abstract:
 This article presents a method for analyzing the economic feasibility of
 modernizing irrigation systems. By using substitution relationships
 between two variables, one can determine
 irrigation&#xa0;performance&#xa0;and farm profit &#x200b;above which
 modernization would be justified from an economic point of
 view;&#xa0;&#x200b;and also the &#xa0;investments and energy consumption
 up to which modernization could be considered cost-effective. By means of
 representative average values, this method is applied to the now
 widespread conversion from surface irrigation to drip irrigation in Spain.
 Two conclusions are drawn. First, modernization may, in some instances, be
 justified only if more productive crop patterns are implemented. Second,
 saving water is a cheaper option than using an alternative resource only
 under certain conditions.

Title: Drivers of groundwater use and technical efficiency of groundwater, canal water, and conjunctive use in Pakistan&#x2019;s Indus Basin Irrigation System 
Abstract:
 This paper explores the major determinants of heavy reliance on
 groundwater and the extent to which conjunctive use of ground and surface
 water affects the production efficiency of Pakistan&#x2019;s irrigators.
 The results show that the major drivers of groundwater use in
 Pakistan&#x2019;s agriculture are the variability and uncertainty
 associated with surface water delivery and that any effort to address the
 groundwater--energy nexus challenge should first consider fixing the
 problems associated with surface water supplies. The findings also suggest
 that having access to groundwater does not directly translate into
 improvements in technical efficiency of production.

Title: Energy for water utilization in China and policy implications for integrated planning 
Abstract:
 Significant energy resources are needed for traditional and nontraditional
 water utilization in China. Yet the interlinkages between water and energy
 have not received adequate attention in the country. To address this gap,
 this article disaggregates and quantifies the magnitude and direction of
 energy and water flows in China at the national level through Sankey
 diagrams. Spatial distributions of energy use by different components of
 the water supply were further mapped at the provincial level to discern
 regional differences. The results of this study show that the total energy
 consumption by water abstraction, treatment and distribution, as well as
 waste treatment and reuse, amounts to 193.5 TWh of electricity, or about
 4% of the total national electricity usage. The outcome of this study
 offers important policy implications for integrated water and energy
 planning and management and will contribute to achieving the goal of
 low-energy water utilization in the future.

Title: Potable water reuse history and a new framework for decision making 
Abstract:
 As populations and water demand increase, more sustainable water sources
 are needed. Wastewater reuse is a major opportunity. Treated wastewater is
 available for non-potable applications and drinking water production.
 Direct potable reuse and planned indirect potable reuse provide
 sustainable drinking water; other reuse applications can offset current
 drinking water uses at lower cost due to lower end-use quality
 requirements. There is some public reluctance to choose potable reuse, but
 planned reuse projects provide drinking water of higher quality than
 typical natural sources. Guidance is available to assure safe and
 high-quality reused water.

Title: Water reuse, emerging contaminants and public health: state-of-the-art analysis 
Abstract:
 This article addresses the issue of quality in reused water for potable
 purpose. The concerns of potential presence of pathogens and inorganic and
 organic constituents in the reused water and their health implications are
 discussed. Presently, there are no specific or international guidelines or
 standards for treatment or monitoring when municipal wastewater is used
 for potable purpose. Research to advance the safety, reliability and
 economic sustainability of reuse is also lacking. When assessing the risks
 associated with reclaimed water, the potential of production failure and
 reliability also needs to be addressed and mitigated.

Title: Public--private partnerships in the water reuse sector: a global assessment 
Abstract:
 Unlike contracts involving water provision, involving the private sector
 in water reuse projects is not seen as politically contentious. Water
 reuse remains a small element of public--private partnership contracts in
 general, but their frequency of use has increased, notably since 2005.
 These contracts are typically awarded in middle-to-high-income countries,
 and there is a relation between contract awards and water stress. In terms
 of population served, 5% of contracts were awarded in areas without water
 stress and 77% in areas with high water stress.

Title: The regulatory framework of reclaimed wastewater for potable reuse in the United States 
Abstract:
 Water scarcity, climate change, population growth and rising
 infrastructure costs have opened the door for unconventional or
 &#x2018;new&#x2019; water sources. Reclaimed water reuse has historically
 been practised for potable use in the United States as de facto water
 reuse or unplanned indirect water reuse. The increasing number of planned
 indirect water reuse projects in the country and the approval of the first
 direct potable reuse projects have exposed the limitations of the
 regulatory system at the national and state levels. These limitations pose
 barriers and/or add uncertainty to the viability of potable water reuse.

Title: Common or independent? The debate over regulations and standards for water reuse in Europe 
Abstract:
 Although unplanned water reuse has been practised across Europe for
 decades, multiple stresses on water supply and demand over recent years
 have led to the development of many planned reuse schemes. Despite this
 development, the legislative and regulatory regimes required to underpin a
 growing water reuse sector have arguably failed to emerge. The reasons for
 this and the cases for and against pan-European water reuse regulations
 are explored and debated. The conclusions highlight several challenges for
 politicians and policy makers if appropriate regulatory systems and water
 quality standards are to be provided which support the embryonic European
 water reuse sector.

Title: Policy issues confronting Australian urban water reuse 
Abstract:
 Urban water security in Australia&#x2019;s major cities is now very high,
 reflecting in part recent policy interventions. Important indirect potable
 water reuse projects were completed but no direct potable reuse project
 was undertaken and none seems likely in the near term. Governments have
 much to learn from decisions to build very large desalination and
 recycling plants, particularly around timing and scale. Future water reuse
 decisions are likely to have a much greater commercial focus. Policies and
 regulations giving more flexibility to decentralized provision of
 water-related services could result in further growth of climate-resilient
 water resources and non-potable reuse.

Title: Wastewater reuse in Beijing: an evolving hybrid system 
Abstract:
 Water reuse capacity in Beijing has developed rapidly along hybrid lines,
 with a small number of large-scale plants connected to a network backbone
 and a large number of small-scale plants in less densely developed areas.
 This article examines whether Beijing&#x2019;s reuse system meets the
 objectives of effectiveness and sustainability, employing a new data-set
 of water reuse facilities for the city. It finds that reuse development in
 Beijing has so far been largely supply-driven and the desirable attributes
 of a hybrid system may only be achieved as greater attention is given to
 demand aspects of water reuse.

Title: Singapore&#x2019;s experience with reclaimed water: NEWater 
Abstract:
 NEWater, Singapore&#x2019;s reclaimed water, has enabled Singapore to
 sustainably meet its growing water demand despite limited land for water
 catchment and storage. While technology provided this water reuse
 solution, strong political will, good governance and effective public
 engagement were key to Singapore&#x2019;s success in supplying NEWater for
 indirect potable use and direct nonpotable use. A multiple-barrier process
 including dual-membrane filtration and UV disinfection, complemented by a
 strict operating philosophy and comprehensive water quality management
 programme, ensures reliable delivery of good-quality NEWater even as the
 supply capacity expands.

Title: Overcoming global water reuse barriers: the Windhoek experience 
Abstract:
 Water scarcity is a reality, with a recent UN report estimating that about
 half of the global population could be facing water shortages by 2030.
 This has focused attention on existing sources and what could be done to
 maximize potential. Water reuse, in particular direct potable reuse (DPR),
 has enjoyed a somewhat turbulent history globally. Despite this, the City
 of Windhoek has been practising DPR for more than 45&#xa0;years, and this
 commentary presents globally accepted barriers standing in the way of DPR
 and attempts to explore ways to overcome these given the experience in
 Windhoek.

Title: A lived-experience investigation of narratives: recycled drinking water 
Abstract:
 Recycled drinking water (RDW) represents a cost-effective and
 technologically reliable source of urban water. Yet it remains one of the
 least implemented solutions because of emotional and psychological
 difficulties -- the human dimension of the &#x2018;yuck factor&#x2019;,
 which has been empirically identified as statistically significant.
 Researchers have therefore recently expanded water research in RDW to
 include the psychology of users. This study builds on this effort by using
 the lived-experience methodology for the first time on RDW. Investigating
 the case of Singapore, the method reveals an &#x2018;insider&#x2019;s
 view&#x2019; of key stakeholders, and uncovers human-scale narratives and
 experiences within the discourses of technology, economics of water
 supply, and ecological realities.

Title: Public acceptance and perceptions of alternative water sources: a comparative study in nine locations 
Abstract:
 Public acceptance of recycled water, desalinated water and rainwater is
 compared across nine international locations: Australia, Belgium, Canada,
 Israel, Japan, Jordan, Mexico, Norway and United States (specifically in
 Los Angeles). An online study was conducted in 2012, with 200 participants
 recruited to be representative of their respective location (1800 in
 total). The study investigated participants&#x2019; intended use of and
 perceptions of alternative water sources. Results indicate that
 respondents clearly differentiate between alternative water sources. Water
 source preference varied between water use purposes. Significant
 differences were found between locations in the percentage of respondents
 willing to use alternative water sources. Additionally the study found
 significant differences across locations in perceptions held of five water
 sources.

Title: Integrated Water Resources Management in Canada: the experience of watershed agencies
Abstract: 
 Water agencies from 7 of the 10 Canadian provinces shared their experiences regarding history, successes, challenges and lessons learned with integrated watershed management. Based on these contributions, it is clear that an integrated approach does not mean ‘all-encompassing’. Rather, it proposes desirable and feasible solutions through a systems approach based on sound technical information (e.g. biophysical and socio-economic), public engagement and monitoring. The roles of all participants must be clearly defined in order to promote success and facilitate implementation. Enduring and emerging challenges, such as adequate capacity and financing, engagement with Aboriginal communities and other stakeholders, and successful implementation, are identified.

Title: Integrated watershed management and Ontario’s conservation authorities
Abstract: 
 In Ontario, integrated watershed management has evolved into a fragmented, multi-agency environment that has made effective management difficult. In the 1990s, two approaches emerged – a local voluntary approach based on informal agency partnerships, and a regulatory approach established in provincial legislation. This paper describes the successes, challenges and lessons learned by drawing upon the experiences of Ontario’s conservation authorities. Key lessons learned include the need for an interactive planning cycle and a multi-stakeholder decision-making process. While significant progress has been made in the practical application of integrated watershed management, significant challenges remain including the lack of a comprehensive policy and inadequate resources.

Title: Implementing integrated water management: illustrations from the Grand River watershed
Abstract: 
 The Grand River watershed is the largest in southern Ontario. Poor water quality, floods and drought experienced in the 1930s prompted the formation of the Grand River Conservation Authority. While significant water improvements have been achieved, the Grand River faces chronic stress from the impacts of rapid population growth, land use intensification and changing climate. There is renewed commitment to address evolving water issues through integrated watershed management. This article summarizes the lessons learnt in the Grand River watershed and contends that integrated watershed management, although difficult to implement, provides a useful framework for practical application and positive results.

Title: Integrated water resource management and British Columbia’s Okanagan Basin Water Board
Abstract: 
 This study examines successes and limitations of integrated water resource management (IWRM) for the Okanagan Basin Water Board (OBWB), a basin management entity in British Columbia, Canada. Effective governance, adequate financing and scientifically informed decision making are attributes contributing to the OBWB’s IWRM success. OBWB’s IWRM challenges include meaningful engagement of First Nations, public apathy towards water governance, succession planning for retiring professionals, and management authority limitations. Constraints on the OBWB’s authority and perceived lack of need to formalize the IWRM approach will affect other local IWRM applications. The study adds a western Canadian example of basin management to IWRM practice.

Title: The integrated watershed management planning experience in Manitoba: the local conservation district perspective
Abstract: 
 Manitoba has abundant freshwater resources, and developing and implementing integrated watershed management plans is essential to ensure a healthy future. This article provides an assessment of progress in Manitoba since the early 1990s (Mitchell and Shrubsole, 1994) regarding integrated watershed management plans. It explains current conditions, including the structural framework, governance, public consultations and First Nations participation, along with examples of experiences, successes, failures, and lessons learnt. The Water Protection Act, proclaimed in 2006, empowered conservation districts to develop and implement integrated watershed management plans as the water planning authority, and represents the most significant change.

Title: Integrated watershed management in the Bow River basin, Alberta: experiences, challenges, and lessons learned
Abstract: 
 Alberta’s Bow River is heavily engineered and hard-working, supplying water to almost 1.5 million people, while meeting the needs of hydropower, agriculture, tourism and irrigation industries upstream and downstream of Calgary. Working together since 1992, the Bow River Basin Council, a voluntary multi-stakeholder organization, with government representatives at the table, has developed watershed management plans as decision-support tools; provided a forum for relationship and trust building; shared information; and co-generated knowledge. Difficult challenges became opportunities for collaborative learning by doing. The processes involved in integrated watershed management were as important as the plans that emerged. Implementing plan objectives remains the greatest challenge.

Title: Implementing integrated watershed management in Quebec: examples from the Saint John River Watershed Organization
Abstract: 
 Water management in the province of Quebec has evolved rapidly in recent years. Public consultation led the provincial government to adopt a Quebec Water Policy in 2002, which was reinforced with the passing of the Quebec Water Act in 2009. This legislative tool enabled the creation of 40 watershed organizations responsible for implementing integrated watershed management (IWM). This article explains the context in which IWM has evolved in the province of Quebec. It also describes the successes, challenges and lessons learned by the Saint John River Watershed Organization in implementing IWM in a transboundary watershed.

Title: Participatory water governance between theories and practices: learning from a community-based initiative in India
Abstract: 
 Despite increasing convergence on the social learning concept as a theoretical foundation of collaborative practices for water governance, this article shows the pitfalls of its uncritical application as a normative ideal. The discussion is based on the analysis of a community-based initiative for water supply and slum upgrading in India, which is considered a best practice of good governance due to its collaborative approach. A different interpretation of the project is proposed through the analysis of its successes and failures from a community perspective. Finally, a recommendation for context-specific selection of theoretical bases for participatory practices is made.

Title: Transforming participation in water governance: the multisectoral alliances of rural water committees and NGOs in Nicaragua
Abstract: 
 This paper examines new forms of political participation on the part of rural water committees in Nicaragua in the mid-2000s. In particular, it explores the role of multisectoral alliances in facilitating water committees’ (1) physical mobility and political visibility, (2) political and legal capacity-building, and (3) access to state channels of representation. Contributing to theories of social capital, this case reveals a transformation of participation in water governance from locally grounded collective action for water management to engagement in public policy processes. In practical terms, the paper casts lessons for improved water governance via more inclusive policy processes.

Title: Co-participation in the Swiss water forum network
Abstract: 
 In polycentric governance systems, actors interact in different venues, such as forums which foster cross-sectoral interaction. This analysis centres on water forums in Switzerland and on actors with multiple forum memberships, creating interactions throughout the entire forum network. Findings show that the central actors in the entire water forum network are predominantly from the public administration sector, even though members from the private sector are most numerous. Despite an emphasis on the bottom-up and self-organizing character of polycentric governance systems in the literature, this analysis shows that public administration actors still play a crucial role as network managers and brokers.

Title: Government facilitation of external initiatives: how Dutch water authorities cope with value dilemmas
Abstract: 
 Water authorities search for new collaborations with non-governmental actors, with the aim of facilitating societal initiatives. A comparative case study was conducted to analyze the value dilemmas faced by water authorities when they choose to facilitate and how they cope with these dilemmas. The study found that the most prevalent dilemma is between traditional democratic values and efficiency-related values. In the chosen solutions, the latter seem to prevail over the former. Casuistry, cycling and hybridization are common coping mechanisms. The study shows the potential of non-governmental initiatives in the water sector while also reflecting critically on dominant administrative values.

Title: How to improve water governance in multifunctional irrigation systems? Balancing stakeholder engagement in hydrosocial territories
Abstract: 
 The aim of this article is to conduct an evidence-based analysis of stakeholder engagement in decision-making processes affecting multifunctional irrigation systems. The selection of case studies has allowed us to examine different tools that promote stakeholder engagement and good governance. The case studies show how stakeholder engagement in irrigation systems shapes hydrosocial territories: (1) by reducing tension between stakeholders, (2) by redirecting regional planning and strategy, (3) by highlighting water crises, (4) by decentralizing water responsibilities, and (5) by integrating values and beliefs from different stakeholders.

Title: What’s the middle ground? Institutionalized vs. emerging water-related stakeholder engagement processes
Abstract: 
 In this day and age, it is widely argued that stakeholder engagement in water-related decision-making processes yields many benefits, including legitimacy, acceptance and trust. Key legal frameworks, such as the European Water Framework Directive and the Aarhus Convention, have spurred the emergence of formal forms of stakeholder engagement. On the other hand, many engagement processes are spontaneous and self-organized. This article investigates the strategies used in formal (government-led) and informal (bottom-up) engagement processes in search of a middle ground. To this end, case studies in the Netherlands, the United States, Uganda and Ethiopia are analyzed using the OECD’s stakeholder engagement checklist. We conclude with reflection on the ways forward to make formal and informal stakeholder engagement complementary.

Title: Community-based initiatives in the Dutch water domain: the challenge of double helix alignment
Abstract: 
 Community-based initiatives (CBIs) are emerging in many domains such as care, sustainable energy and water management. This paper examined three initiatives in Dutch water management, focusing on their relationship with water boards. CBIs present issues that water boards find difficult to respond to because of two reasons. First, CBIs are demarcated very differently from the formal tasks that water boards pursue. This calls for internal alignment within water boards to respond adequately. Second, CBIs necessitate external alignment with other water-managing governments. Water boards must therefore implement double helix alignment to relate productively to initiatives emerging in society.

Title: Understanding emergent participation practices in water governance
Abstract: 
 This introductory article discusses the proliferation of different forms of participation in water governance. It is argued that creating public value through participation can only succeed when effective co-creation between public authorities and communities emerges. However, challenges to realizing co-creation are manifold, and differ among the various types of participation. In this respect, we introduce a typology of different forms of participation, based on the distinction between top-down (invited) and bottom-up (created) participation. We use this distinction to analyze different dynamics in participatory water governance and to delve deeper into the dilemmas and trade-offs. Lastly, the various contributions to this special issue are introduced.

Title: Analysis of Arizona's Water Resources System
Abstract: An analysis of Arizona's water resources system has been implemented. This study uses a qualitative system analysis approach to evaluate the most important components of the system: water supply, water demand, laws and regulations, stakeholders, decision makers, etc. Moreover, the investigation centres on some key components of the water resources system such as water conservation in active management areas (AMA), rural Arizona, population growth, and water rights transfers. This study provides insights on these important components, identifies factors that can be enhanced and offers suggestions for improving them. The overall goal of this analysis is to contribute ideas that will help to establish a more efficient and holistic programme to secure sustainable development of water resources.

Title: Democratic Legitimacy of New Forms of Water Management in the Netherlands
Abstract: Due to changes in the Dutch flood management paradigm, governance practices have been shifting from technocratic and state-oriented towards more collaborative governance approaches in which many governmental actors, together with private and societal actors, search out integral solutions. This shift has had an impact on how water management is legitimized. This paper evaluates two water governance processes that reflect the new management paradigm in different ways, and analyzes how these changing paradigms influence the democratic legitimacy of water governance. It is concluded that the extent to which the new paradigm is implemented influences the way in which democratic legitimacy is organized. It is also shown that new forms of democratic legitimacy do not replace existing ones but rather contribute to hybrid and contextualized forms of legitimacy.

Title: Economics of Agricultural Water Conservation: Empirical Analysis and Policy Implications
Abstract: Climate change and recurrent drought in many of the world's dry places continue to inspire the search for economically attractive measures to conserve water. This study analyzes water conservation practices in irrigated agriculture in a sub-basin in North America's Rio Grande. A method is developed to estimate water savings in irrigated agriculture that result from public subsidies to farmers who convert from surface to drip irrigation. The method accounts for economic incentives affecting farmers' choices on irrigation technology, crop mix, water application, and water depletion. Findings show that farmers will invest in technologies that reduce water applications when faced with lower financial costs for converting to drip irrigation. Subsidies for drip irrigation increase farm income, raise the value of food production, and reduce the amount of water applied to crops. However, an unexpected result is that water conservation subsidies that promote conversion to drip irrigation can increase the demand for water depleted by crops. Our findings show that where water rights exist, water rights administrators will need to guard against increased depletion of the water source in the face of growing subsidies for drip irrigation. Our approach for analyzing water conservation programmes can be applied where water is scarce, irrigation is significant, food security is important, and water conservation policies are under debate.

Title: Cleaning of the Singapore River and Kallang Basin in Singapore: Economic, Social, and Environmental Dimensions
Abstract: By 1977, decades of development and inadequate long-term planning in Singapore had resulted in heavy pollution in the waterways of the city-state, threatening its very survival. This paper analyzes the strategies for cleaning the Singapore River and Kallang Basin as part of an overall development plan which aimed at sustained growth. It also analyzes the economic, social, and environmental dimensions of these strategies not only to improve the conditions of the rivers and their surroundings, but also to develop the city-state, provide its population with an improved quality of life, including a clean environment, and most importantly, propel Singapore towards the path to sustainability and economic prosperity.

Title: Rule of Capture and Urban Sprawl: A Potential Federal Financial Risk in Groundwater-Dependent Areas
Abstract: This paper illustrates the potential federal financial risk created by groundwater overabstraction, rapid urbanization, competing economic interests, and institutional arrangements in groundwater-dependent areas of Texas. In the Upper Trinity Groundwater Conservation District, located in the Dallas–Fort Worth metropolitan area, urban sprawl creates suburbanized rural areas reliant upon the Upper Trinity Aquifer. In the past 10 years, competition of economic interests for groundwater has intensified, as the area has experienced rapid urban sprawl combined with escalating Barnett Shale hydraulic fracturing activity, which coincided with two extreme droughts in 2006 and 2011. Urban sprawl generates business opportunities and tax revenues for state and local governments in the short term, but if groundwater overabstraction leads to land subsidence, financial risk is transferred to the federal government through increased risk exposure from federal housing loans and government-backed residential lending.

Title: The Political Economy of Water Service Privatization in Mexico City, 1994–2011
Abstract: This paper chronicles the implementation of water service privatization to combat severe water shortage in Mexico City, also known as the Distrito Federal (DF), from 1994 to 2011. Initially, the DF's administration successfully employed private actors to provide more extensive and efficient service while retaining public control of infrastructure. Privatization in the DF was unique in its competitive service structure and the support provided it by the city's populist government. However, political manoeuvring stalled progress in contract governance, network extension, and regional coordination, suggesting the need for more robust accountability structures linking municipal and national political outcomes to household service delivery. An improved theoretical understanding of how stakeholders can collectively manage common pool resources in the urban environments of middle-income countries is also essential.

Title: Implications of Biofuel Policies for Water Management in India
Abstract: India has developed a national biofuel policy to increase energy security, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and stimulate rural development. In this policy, the government has set blending targets for mixing ethanol and biodiesel with gasoline and diesel, respectively. In India, ethanol is produced from irrigated sugar-cane while biodiesel is produced from jatropha, which is said to require no irrigation. This paper analyzes the possible impacts of an increase in sugar-cane and jatropha production on water management and use. It finds that India's biofuel policy is likely to place additional pressure on scarce water resources. Although the development of biofuels may be necessary, care must be taken to anticipate its likely impacts on water resources.

Title: Water and human livelihood resilience: a regional-to-global outlook
Abstract: 
 This article addresses the need to profoundly expand the way we think about freshwater. Stressing water’s role as the bloodstream of the biosphere, the article highlights water’s functions in sustaining life on the planet (control, state and moisture feedback functions), the role of water partitioning changes in inducing non-linear change at multiple scales, and humanity’s influence on a social-ecological system’s capacity to adapt and continue to function. It reviews water’s roles during its journey through the upper layers of the land mass, different types of water–ecosystem interactions, and water’s roles in landscape-scale resilience building.

Title: State of the Art Review: Water pricing reform in China
Abstract: 
 This paper reviews water pricing reform in China after 1980, including framework, process, forces and considerations. China collects a water resources fee, a water supply tariff for hydraulic engineering, an urban water supply tariff, a wastewater collection and treatment tariff, and a pollutant discharge fee. The reform has been an exploration process. In theory, a comprehensive, systematic and advanced policy and framework have been developed. However, in practice, the reforms fluctuate among economic, social and environmental targets; do not comply with the reform objectives; and are heavily affected by external social and economic factors rather than by internal factors.

Title: Towards a shared understanding of water security risks in the public and private sectors
Abstract: 
 This article investigates the knowledge and understanding of water risks, and how these are perceived in the private and public sectors. The article is based on a case-study catchment dominated by agricultural activity near Grabouw, in the Western Cape, South Africa. Starting with an overview of the hydrological context, the article follows with a discussion of the current water challenges and water-related risk perceptions of private- and public-sector actors. A conceptual framework is proposed, mapping the different water security risks. The article suggests that water management is improved when different actors acknowledge their shared water risks.

Title: A methodology to assess drought management as applied to six European case studies
Abstract: 
 The improvement of future responses to drought requires evaluating past management practices. This article presents a methodology to assess drought management through the analysis of six key policy dimensions. It uses a qualitative approach that combines different sources of information, including both factual data and stakeholders’ perceptions. The assessment is based on a six-case study in Europe having different spatial scales and characteristics, to capture the context-specific nature of response to drought. The results of the assessment help analyze drought management from a risk-management perspective as well as to identify key policy gaps and recommendations.

Title: Improving the effectiveness of aid: an evaluation of prospective Mekong irrigation investments
Abstract: 
 Large irrigation systems seem to be the logical add-on investment to the hydropower projects which are being planned in the Mekong Basin. Economic evaluations of irrigation schemes to date have not considered environmental costs and uncertainties about utilization. Comparisons between economic returns and poverty alleviation benefits from irrigation and from investments in other sectors are also sparse. A benefit–cost analysis of prospective irrigation investments in Lao PDR considering all these factors found that farm-scale irrigation investments performed better than large-scale investments. The benefit–cost ratio and head-count poverty reduction from large-scale irrigation investment were also substantially lower than for education, road construction and agricultural research and development.

Title: Water-saving strategies for irrigation agriculture in Saudi Arabia
Abstract: 
 Agriculture policy changes in Saudi Arabia are investigated by water footprint (WF) assessment. WF is calculated with the model SPARE:WATER for 3758 irrigated sites. The WF of agriculture areas (WFarea, km3 yr−1) has decreased (–17%) since the year 2000 to 13.84 km3 yr−1 (2011), which is mainly caused by the reduction of cropland by –33%. Nevertheless, water consumption per field has increased about 16%, which can be attributed to the cultivation of fodder crops (+12%). A scenario analysis revealed that a shifting cropping pattern towards less fodder crops reduces WFarea by –15%, and implementing improved irrigation technology leads to a combined reduction of up to 32%

Title: Unsafe water, sanitation and hygiene in Nigeria’s public spaces: the political economy angle
Abstract: 
 Water, sanitation and hygiene (WaSH) services in public spaces are examined from the political economy perspective in Nigeria. Through field observations and interviews, the study observed that WaSH practices at public spaces are less than optimal on account of poor or outright absence of necessary WaSH infrastructure and weak or non-existent regulation and enforcement of necessary standards, among other challenges. Socio-economic factors related to the category of users and the proprietary interests of specific spaces largely accounted for WaSH services inequality. It is argued that the failure of the state to guarantee functional WaSH infrastructure and enforce standard practices opens space for differentiated practices and standards consistent with specific interests.

Title: Water crisis in Africa: myth or reality?
Abstract: 
 Water is an issue that relates to all aspects of human development in Africa, including health, agriculture, education, economics, and even peace and stability. But the perception that Africa has perpetual water scarcity and is heading towards water crisis is challenged by a significant number of water professionals. Although most agree that Africa suffers from economic water scarcity, physical water scarcity could possibly be controlled with better water management. The large amount of international aid granted annually to Africa is a subject of criticism. This article examines the water crisis in Africa, whether it is a myth or reality, and reasons thereof, and suggests remedial measures.

Title: The fallacious strategy of virtual water trade
Abstract: 
 Since the concept of virtual water was put forward, there has been an increasing number of papers on the topic, as a result of which virtual water is now being mainstreamed in the water policy world. Unfortunately, virtual water trade strategy as a solution to water shortages is wrong and fallacious. Although the virtual water trade theory is considered a descendant of the comparative advantage theory of economics, it is in fact an over-simplification, going from the truth to fallacy. To make decisions of virtual water trade based on only one production factor, water, though there are many other production factors that influence the allocation of resources at the same time, is misleading theoretically and practically.

Title: Public–private partnerships for water in Asia: a review of two decades of experience
Abstract: 
 This article reviews the development of public–private partnerships (PPP) in water services in Asia over the last two decades and situates the Asian experience within the wider global context. Through a comparative analysis of PPP data from two different sources, the article highlights the critical issue of how ‘private’ is defined in understanding the extent of PPP in Asia, due to the important role played by enterprises under mixed public and private ownership. The article identifies cyclical patterns of development of PPP in the water sector across countries and the use of hybrid contractual and institutional arrangements for PPPs.

Title: Strategies for urban drought risk management: a comparison of 10 large cities
Abstract: 
 Sustainable development of cities requires robust water supply systems, yet many cities need to resort to ad hoc measures when faced with a drought. This article aims to explore how cities can do better in reducing the risk of water shortage due to drought. To that end, a classification of drought measures in urban water supply systems is proposed, and then applied to 10 cities that recently faced a drought. We find that these cities used a relatively limited number and variety of measures. The classification can help cities evaluate different types of measures for reducing long-term water stress and limit the impact of extreme droughts.

Title: Adding an implementation phase to the framework for flood policy evolution: insights from South Africa
Abstract: 
 South African flood risk management policy changed radically after the end of apartheid (1994), with the Disaster Management Act of 2002 promoting a modern proactive approach. However, policy document research and two case studies show an implementation deficit. The ‘crises and catalysts’ theoretical framework used to analyze flood policy evolution needs more attention to implementation issues and the learning involved. Future flood policy change in South Africa or elsewhere should ensure that the process of learning is purposefully embedded within the structures, procedures and practices that are promoted to facilitate policy implementation, rather than being left to chance.

Title: Will the energy industry drain the water used for agricultural irrigation in the Yellow River basin?
Abstract: 
 This article employs the case of the Yellow River basin to advance understanding of the water–energy–food nexus by demonstrating how the country’s energy and agriculture sectors are competing for limited water supplies and by quantifying the future water demands in the two sectors. The results show that in 2030 the water demands for food and energy are likely to increase by less than 4 km3 and 1 km3, respectively, in the Yellow River basin. The analysis suggests that agricultural water savings and inter-basin water transfers are the main ways to ensure sufficient water flows through the basin to fulfil demand for both sectors while preserving the natural ecosystems.

For this purpose, a decomposition method is developed to quantify the degree of the impact of each factor. The results show that industrial expansion was responsible for an increase in annual water use of 78 million m³, while technical advances and water efficiency measures contributed annual water savings of about 76 million m³. Further, the results highlight that Tianjin has not considered the rise in water efficiency to be the primary goal of restructuring local industries over the past decade.

Title: To desalinate or divert? A comparative supply cost analysis for north coastal China
Abstract: 
 Seawater desalination is largely presented as a last resort to address water scarcity in closed basins. The question of whether seawater desalination can substitute for other costly measures, specifically large-scale diversion, has not been adequately assessed. To this end the full unit cost of supplying water to Beijing from the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, the largest in the world, is compared to desalination. Desalination appears to be much more cost-efficient than diversion, even when the diversion’s environmental externalities are excluded. By implementing desalination and water management options, China could substantially reduce water costs; this suggests that desalination should not be viewed only as a last resort.

Title: The interplay of activists and dam developers: the case of Myanmar’s mega-dams
Abstract: 
 Scholars investigating activism against large dam developments in Asia usually focus on those campaigning, but not on those the campaigns are aimed at – the dam developers. Yet the developers’ perspective is crucial to comprehensively understand the dynamics of social and environmental activism in South-East Asia as well as its implications for the region’s energy landscape. This article analyzes the interplay of activists and Chinese dam developers in Myanmar via case studies of the Myitsone Dam and the Mong Ton Dam. The research is based on direct scholarly interaction with both activists and dam developers. It presents evidence of change from both sides: activists have professionalized in recent years; and Chinese dam developers now attempt to engage with civil society, albeit with limited success in the two cases studied. Yet, even with these changes, conflict over dam development persists, and the country may soon face severe limitations on development options for improving energy security. The case of Bhutan is also discussed to illustrate the potential of developing Myanmar’s hydropower resources.

Title: Determining overall water quality related to anthropogenic influences across freshwater systems of Thailand
Abstract: 
 Overall water quality in the 48 rivers of Thailand in 2009–2017 was determined using time series and water quality index models. Water quality degradation was mainly caused by high faecal coliform bacteria (FCB) and suspended solids in the North; high nitrate-nitrogen and total phosphorus in the Northeast; and high biochemical oxygen demand and FCB, and low dissolved oxygen in the Central Plains. FCB was a major parameter affecting water quality in the East, the West, and the South. High correlations among water quality and land use variables were detected. Management guidelines are provided to improve overall water quality.

Title: Revisiting the history, concepts and typologies of community management for rural drinking water supply in India
Abstract: 
 Community management has been widely criticized, yet it continues to play a significant role in rural drinking water supply. In India, as with other ‘emerging’ economies, the management model must now adapt to meet the policy demand for ever-increasing technical sophistication. Given this context, the paper reviews the history and concepts of community management to propose three typologies that better account for the changing role of the community and external support entities found in successful cases. It argues that external support entities must be prepared to take greater responsibility for providing ongoing support to communities for ensuring continuous service delivery.

Title: The impact of weather extremes on urban resilience to hydro-climate hazards: a Singapore case study
Abstract: 
 Changing frequencies and intensities of extreme weather events directly affect settlement vulnerability; when combined with rapid urbanization, these factors also influence urban resilience to climate-related hazards. This article documents how urban resilience can generally be maximized, before examining how it is impacted by extreme hydro-climatic events (i.e. droughts and floods), with a specific case examination for Singapore. In particular, analysis of Singapore’s climate from 1950 to 2015 indicates (1) a warmer environment, and (2) recent periods of more intense surface dryness. Lastly, this article suggests how specific climate information regarding extreme event attribution can aid municipal stakeholders involved in urban resilience policy.

Title: Policy narratives help maintain institutional traps in the governance of floods in Thailand
Abstract: 
 The governance of floods in urbanizing regions of Thailand is significantly constrained by institutional traps. Comparisons of the impacts and governance responses to major flood events in Chiang Mai, Ayutthaya and Bangkok in 2005–06 and 2011 suggests that there has been very little policy learning. Institutional traps remain as important now as they were more than a decade ago. Dominant policy narratives help maintain institutional traps by promoting solutions that reduce organizational risks, like the transfer of responsibilities to local communities, or reflect organizational interests and professional norms. Policy narratives will need to be challenged or transformed if progress in building urban resilience to floods is to be made.

Title: The political economy of flood management reform in China
Abstract: 
 This article examines the political economy factors that are likely to shape China’s attempts to reform its approach to managing floods, particularly by implementing integrated flood risk management (IFRM). IFRM emphasizes the use of structural and non-structural measures to reduce flood risk, rather than simply seeking to control flooding. For China, reducing flood risk is increasingly important in light of urbanization and climate change. However, a number of political economy issues, especially the division of power between central and local levels of government, create considerable challenges for flood management reform. This article examines China’s approach to implementing IFRM in light of existing political economy constraints and the institutional framework for flood management. It argues that effective flood management reform requires addressing common challenges, including interjurisdictional and intersectoral coordination and stakeholder participation.

Title: Exposure and resilience of China’s cities to floods and droughts: a double-edged sword
Abstract: 
 China’s rapid urbanization in areas prone to flood or drought events can be seen as a double-edged sword. Urbanization enlarges the population exposed to these hazards, but the resulting socio-economic development also helps build resilience. This article quantifies flood occurrence, drought severity, and related resilience in 81 cities in Mainland China. The extent of flood exposure was notable, both in absolute terms as well as in relation to the drought-prone urban population. China needs to integrate urban flood/drought policy making with sustainable urbanization policy making to best contribute to minimizing flood and drought risks in its cities.

Title: Using water management infrastructure to address both flood risk and the urban heat island
Abstract: 
 Two important environmental challenges for many cities are to prevent flooding after heavy rain, and to minimize warming due to the urban heat island effect. There is a close link between these two phenomena, as rainfall intensity increases with rising air temperature. The two problems of flood management and urban warming therefore need to be tackled together. In particular, management strategies that contribute to reducing urban temperatures should be recognized as a means of reducing flood risk, especially in regions prone to intense rainfall.

Title: Devolving water governance in the Kenyan Arid Lands: from top-down drought and flood emergency response to locally driven water resource development planning
Abstract: 
 The Kenyan Constitution calls for a devolved response to the stewardship of water and other natural resources. A case study based on planners’ experiences illustrates the shift towards a governance approach that is inclusive, integrates available technologies to achieve resilience to both flood and drought, and works across scales from the settlement to the catchment. Devolution is a slow process, and the challenges are many. Recent observations show that increasing local agency in water resource development is helping alleviate drought and flood emergencies. Nevertheless, more concerted action is still needed from the centre.

Title: Antifragility and the development of urban water infrastructure
Abstract: 
 Antifragility is a system property that results in systems becoming increasingly resistant to external shocks by being exposed to them. These systems have the counter-intuitive property of benefiting from uncertain conditions. This paper presents one of the first known applications of antifragility to water infrastructure systems and outlines the development of antifragility at the city scale through the use of local governance, data collection and a bimodal strategy for infrastructure development. The systems architecture presented results in a management paradigm that can deliver reliable water systems in the face of highly uncertain future conditions.

Title: Rainproof cities in the Netherlands: approaches in Dutch water governance to climate-adaptive urban planning
Abstract: 
 Due to increasingly frequent incidents of pluvial flooding of public spaces and private properties, climate-adaptive building and urban water management are gaining momentum in Dutch water governance. This study assesses the Dutch approach to urban water management by looking at the governance approaches of three of the largest Dutch municipalities: Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Utrecht. By analyzing the municipalities’ governance approaches in a holistic way, paying attention to knowledge, organization and implementation, the research provides good practices in terms of different aspects of resilience as well as lessons regarding setting performance indicators in service levels, clarifying responsibility division, applying binding rules instead of soft policies, and more.

Title: Environmental resilience and intergovernmental collaboration in the Pearl River Delta
Abstract: 
 Water resource management is a crucial issue in the rapidly urbanizing Pearl River Delta. Numerous studies have examined transboundary water management, but those focusing on Hong Kong are largely technical, with little consideration for political dynamics or collaboration. This study’s contribution is a systematic analysis of water governance in China’s ‘one country–two systems’ setting. Through interviews and historical analysis, the study applies Ostrom’s Institutional Analysis and Development framework to a setting with political complexity and environmental vulnerability. The principal finding is that cooperation on supply infrastructure reflects a regional interdependence that builds the multiparty trust needed for more strategic governance.

Title: Towards adaptive governance for urban drought resilience: the case of Da Nang, Vietnam
Abstract: 
 To address drought risks and risks of water shortages in cities it is essential to build resilience. Acknowledging that this is a process initiated by actors and institutions, this article presents a framework to analyze dynamics in the governance system for urban water services. The framework is applied to Da Nang, a drought-prone city in central Vietnam, to explore the elements and factors in the urban water sector that enhance or inhibit resilience to drought and find potential strategies to build resilience. The study finds that the framework has been helpful in identifying where changes and systematic interventions are needed to enhance resilience.

Abstract: 
 This article discusses how key risks from extreme weather events might affect progress towards meeting Sustainable Development Goals 6 and 11 in cities in developing countries. It outlines the magnitude of the existing shortfall in safe water and sanitation services, and how climate change will exacerbate existing problems. It argues that the performance of many governments thus far has lacked urgency and purpose. Unless governments in particular become more committed, with redoubled effort, the goals are unlikely to be achieved.

Title: State-of-the-art review of transboundary water governance in the Euphrates–Tigris river basin
Abstract: 
 This article reviews the state of the art of transboundary water governance in the Euphrates–Tigris river basin, which is characterized by both political confrontation and cooperative institutional development. First, research on the physical characteristics of the basin is presented, with references to the literature on large-scale water development projects that underpin transboundary water interactions. Then, contending approaches to transboundary water governance are discussed, with specific references to the evolution of institutions. Finally, bearing in mind that transboundary water governance in the basin occurs in volatile political circumstances, current issues such as control of the water infrastructure by non-state violent actors and protection of water during armed conflict are scrutinized.

Title: Contrasting water securities: the Mexican state facing downstream stakeholders in the Suchiate transboundary river basin
Abstract: 
 Based on extensive interviews, fieldwork and archival research conducted in southern Mexico, this article explores and analyzes contrasting water-security perspectives of diverse stakeholders in flood-prone portions of the transboundary Suchiate River basin. Complexities of transboundary water issues along an international river that is also a border produce power relationships between the Mexican state and inhabitants, plus historical tensions with riparian neighbour Guatemala, and diverse meanings among local stakeholders. The Mexican state conceptualizes water security as a conventional national-security issue, whereas the basin’s rural inhabitants consider it a matter of human security, albeit in diverse ways that provoke internal conflicts.

Title: Water policy interventions for food security in Afghanistan
Abstract: 
 Afghanistan is a headwater state that contributes supplies to several countries in Central and South Asia. However, despite being a water source, it faces the challenge of establishing its own storage infrastructure and water-sharing methods to protect its food security. This article investigates impacts on the Afghan agricultural sector resulting from enhanced reservoir storage capacity and better-performing water-sharing methods. An integrated systems analysis is formulated to analyze the economic performance of both interventions. Results reveal that both interventions show the highest capacity to improve food security in conditions where water supply shows the greatest natural fluctuations.

Title: Bridging organizations and strategic bridging functions in environmental governance and management
Abstract: 
 Strategic bridging functions performed by three voluntary, multi-stakeholder bridging organizations engaged in environmental governance and management in the Calgary Region of Alberta, Canada, are examined. Structured interviews revealed how the bridging organizations influenced an increase in municipal participation in regional-scale environmental governance and management activities. Bridging organizations connect stakeholders who would otherwise not be connected. They identify shared values and issues of concern, build trusting relationships, co-create knowledge, resolve conflict, and contribute to social learning processes. Social network structure is made visible through social network graphs. The legitimacy of natural resource management plans co-created through strategic bridging processes is also addressed.

Title: Setting the stage for IWRM: the case of the upper Kiskatinaw River, British Columbia
Abstract: 
 Integrated Water Resources Management has gained prominence in British Columbia due to growing concerns about drinking water quality and supply and risks from cumulative land-use and climate change. Experiences are examined in the upper Kiskatinaw River of the Peace River basin and the source watershed for the city of Dawson Creek. Though there is no formal decision-making capacity, efforts led by the city have focused on balancing intensive resource industry development activity with its stewardship objectives despite not having a formal role in watershed governance. Through investments in planning, characterization and monitoring, the city is well positioned now to further achieve facilitating interest-based solutions.

Title: The Tigris hydropower system operations: the need for an integrated approach
Abstract: 
 The Tigris hydropower system is analyzed through an integrated operational policy. The operation algorithm is formulated in terms of non-linear programming to maximize energy production while satisfying water demands in the basin. The system is optimized for different cases, and the effects of system modifications in terms of the reservoir volume of Ilisu Dam and the demand constraints are examined. In addition, the state of the Garzan subsystem is analyzed to explore plant utilization when optimizing the entire system operations. The results show the necessity of such an integrated operation plan to supply water demands in the basin.

Title: Estimating willingness to pay for desalinated seawater: the case of Djerba Island, Tunisia
Abstract: 
 Water scarcity can be a growth-limiting factor. Non-conventional water resources, such as desalinated water, represent an alternative means of guaranteeing access to water while reducing water stress. In this study, a contingent valuation survey carried out in Djerba Island, Tunisia, allows the joint modelling of two decisions: societal support for the construction of a desalination plant and households’ willingness to pay for desalinated water. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, no study to date has addressed this relationship. We find that although a clear majority of households are in favour of using desalinated water, far fewer are willing to pay for it. The article concludes that it is worth studying willingness to pay for desalinated water in developing countries in order to avoid investing in projects where it is doubtful that costs will be recouped.

Title: Droughts and water trading in the western United States: recent economic evidence
Abstract: 
 Recent droughts in the western United States have encouraged the growth of spot markets for water trading in states like California, which witnessed $95 million worth of water exchanged through these transfers during 2009. This article uses water transaction data from Water Strategist Monthly to investigate the effect of droughts on the volume of water transferred in four western states. A statistically significant effect of drought intensity on the volume and price of water is seen. Multiyear leases and sales have a larger effect than annual leases on the amount of water transferred annually.

Title: Water demand related to availability and price in an irrigation district in the Segura Basin
Abstract: 
 A methodology is presented to determine the demand of water to alternative sources, given the benefit functions of irrigation water in each unit of demand, and assuming that farmers will buy water if the price is less than the marginal benefit. In the study area, the benefits of farmers are estimated based on the availability of conventional water resources, the water allocation made and the sale price of desalinated water. If the price of desalinated water is €0.43/m3 and water is allocated optimally in the irrigation units, the demand for water would increase to cover up to 69% of the water needs in the entire irrigated areas. The highest associated benefits would be attained with the lowest water prices and the lowest initial availability of water.

Title: China’s domestic hydropolitics: an assessment and implications for international transboundary dynamics
Abstract: 
 This article reviews the dynamics of conflict and cooperation between sub-national administrative jurisdictions in China, and assesses the implications of these dynamics for its transboundary waterways. The article argues that domestic hydropolitics can rival the international variety in both complexity and contentiousness. This is especially true in China because of its marked fiscal-economic decentralization, which creates considerable interjurisdictional conflict. These internal politics may help explain tension between China and its neighbours over transboundary rivers, and future research should attempt to more fully link the domestic and international arenas.

Title: Conceptualizing Chinese engagement in South-East Asian dam projects: evidence from Myanmar’s Salween River
Abstract: 
 Chinese engagement in South-East Asian dam projects is usually conceptualized by scholars as directly driven by China’s political leadership as part of a larger package whose terms would only be favourable to the Chinese party. This article argues against this notion, conceptualizing Chinese engagement in South-East Asian dam projects as engagement that can also be directly driven by a Chinese dam developer in a standalone project whose terms are favourable to all contractual parties involved. The cases of the Mong Ton and Hat Gyi dams on Myanmar’s Salween River, which feature the involvement of the Chinese dam developers China Three Gorges Corporation and Sinohydro, are presented as evidence for this latter conceptualization.

Title: China’s dam-builders: their role in transboundary river management in South-East Asia
Abstract: 
 This article investigates China’s role as the world’s largest builder of and investor in large dams, focussing on the Greater Mekong Sub-Region in South-East Asia. It addresses the role Chinese actors play in dam-building as well as the environmental, social, economic and political implications by drawing on case studies from Cambodia and Vietnam. The article finds that China’s dam-building is perceived very differently in different countries of South-East Asia. In Cambodia, the dams in the Greater Mekong Sub-Region are considered instruments of economic growth and development, whereas downstream in Vietnam the dams are seen as potentially undermining national growth, development and security.

Title: Intergovernmental cooperation on the Amur River basin management in the twenty-first century
Abstract: 
 This article describes several important topics in river management relationships between the Chinese, Mongolian and Russian governments, such as hydropower, water transfer and flood control, to illustrate various less known aspects of transboundary river basin management patterns in the Amur River basin. This is intended to establish a baseline account of transboundary water management in this shared river basin in the wake of major changes dictated by China’s wider transboundary and domestic policies such as the Belt and Road Initiative and Ecological Civilization and to consider to what extent the emerging shifts in environmental and development policies have already been manifested in cooperation on the transboundary river.

Title: Using transboundary environmental security to manage the Mekong River: China and South-East Asian Countries
Abstract: 
 Environmental security, broadly defined as integrated analysis of the social and ecological aspects of environmental problems, is gaining influence as nations begin to expand beyond traditional conceptions of national security. The Mekong River basin provides an instructive example of challenges to the evolution of environmental security in Asia. An overview of six main security stressors – ecosystem degradation, food, energy, water, development, and climate change – reveals the need for transboundary governance reform. China may be in a position to undertake new leadership in the Mekong, which could result in more cooperation, but only if that leadership embraces more deliberative and inclusive behaviour.

Title: Powering or sharing water in the Brahmaputra River basin
Abstract: 
 This article examines the power interplay that shapes the transboundary water interaction in the Brahmaputra River basin. The article provides two key insights based on data sharing and bilateralism aspects. First, the lack of a standard, hydrological data-sharing mechanism has created a sense of mistrust between riparians. Second, bilateralism and power asymmetry between the riparian countries has created a sense of unilateral control over the Brahmaputra River. This article concludes that due to regional geo-politics, issues of sovereignty, and unequal power, negotiation for a multilateral basin-wide treaty at this moment is a non-starter in the Brahmaputra basin.

Title: A process-based framework to examine China’s approach to transboundary water management
Abstract: 
 As China emerges as a regional and global power and its interest in utilizing the transboundary water resources within its borders continues to grow, a better understanding of China’s policies and practices towards transboundary waters is of critical importance. Scholars have explored various approaches to the study of this subject, including the legal perspective, the socioeconomic-environmental lens, the foreign relations/neighbourhood diplomacy angle, and international relations theories. Each approach has its merits and weaknesses. On the basis of all the existing analytical studies, this article proposes a process-based framework to study China’s policies towards transboundary water management.

Title: Commercial farmers’ strategies to control water resources in South Africa: an empirical view of reform
Abstract: 
 This article shows how large-scale commercial farmers, individually and collectively, are responding to land and water reform processes in the Thukela River basin, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. With a high degree of innovative agency, commercial farmers have effectively executed four strategies, enabling them to adapt and use their access to resources to neutralize multiple water reform efforts that once promised to be catalysts for inclusive change in the post-apartheid era. It is likely that policy alone will not facilitate the envisioned transformation, if local practices are not sufficiently understood and anticipated by the governmental officials charged with the implementation of water reform processes.

Title: Conventional and holistic urban stormwater management in coastal cities: a case study of the practice in Hong Kong and Singapore
Abstract: 
 This study compares stormwater management in two coastal cities: Hong Kong and Singapore. Hong Kong adopted conventional urban stormwater management for flood control and embraced hard-engineering infrastructure in the scheme. In contrast, Singapore has put in place a series of holistic management practices to manage urban runoff. By comparing the stormwater management practices in these two cities, the differences in approaches to non-structural and structural practices were elucidated. Life cycle costing and environmental benefit analysis indicate that holistic urban stormwater management can lead to higher economic efficiency, sustainability and environmental friendliness, compared to conventional urban stormwater management.

Title: Potential outcomes of multi-variable climate change on water resources in the Santa Basin, Peru
Abstract: 
 Water resources in the Santa Basin in the Peruvian Andes are increasingly under pressure from climate change and population increase. Impacts of temperature-driven glacier retreat on streamflow are better studied than those of precipitation changes, yet present and future water resources are mostly dependent on precipitation, which is more difficult to predict with climate models. This study combines a broad range of projections from climate models with a hydrological model (WaterWorld), showing a general trend towards an increase in water availability due to precipitation increases over the basin. However, high uncertainties in these projections necessitate basin-wide policies aimed at increased adaptability.

Title: Climate change, water management and stakeholder analysis in the Dongjiang River basin in South China
Abstract: 
 This article proposes a systematic analysis of water management and allocation on the scale of a river basin, considering climate impacts and stakeholder networks in the Dongjiang River basin in South China. Specific approaches are integrated to explore various subtopics. Findings indicate a slight increase of precipitation in the basin and strong fluctuations in this century due to climate extremes, which may lead to seasonal or quality-related water shortages. It is highlighted that alternative options for holistic water management are needed in the basin, and participatory water allocation mechanisms and establishment of a basin-wide management framework could be helpful.

Title: Rainfed areas: poor definition and flawed solutions
Abstract: 
 This article questions the criterion used by government of India to classify agricultural areas into ‘rainfed’ and ‘irrigated’, merely on the basis of percentage of area under irrigation, in spite of the vast differences in the biophysical and socio-economic characteristics between areas classified as ‘rainfed’. This criterion fails to consider the agro-climate and hydro-meteorology of the area, which decide whether crops can be grown under rainfed conditions or require irrigation. Watershed development interventions, which are usually prescribed for agricultural development of rainfed areas, are bound to fail when rainfall is low and aridity is high, and strategically, interventions should be based on agro-ecology and hydro-meteorology.

Title: Exporting water from the desert? An analysis of the virtual water content of Saudi Arabian agricultural exports
Abstract: 
 This study applies input-output analysis to evaluate and trace Saudi Arabia’s virtual water exports arising from exports of agricultural products. Saudi Arabia’s total virtual exports in 2011 were around 2.42 km3, mainly to neighbouring Arab countries. This amount is enough to meet the water demand of the country’s entire population. Agricultural exports seem economically beneficial only because they rely on groundwater; however, since the indirect cost of desalinating equivalent amounts of water for domestic purposes is much higher, a better strategy would have been to direct those water resources towards domestic needs.

Title: A conceptual market framework for water-bound nitrate pollution
Abstract: 
 The conversion of bottomland hardwood and swamp forests to irrigated agriculture has had problematic consequences for water bodies. Many of these problems can be linked to the use of synthetic nitrogen fertilizers to increase crop production. To date, there is little monitoring of nitrogen use in watersheds, which may be due to large fixed costs. Using market-based techniques which have addressed previous environmental challenges, with remotely sensed data to track a pollutant’s source, may be one alternative, by incentivizing nitrogen users to behave according to abatement costs traced back to the point of origin of a pollutant.

Title: Ecological patterns of fish distribution in the Slave River Delta region, Northwest Territories, Canada, as relayed by traditional knowledge and Western science
Abstract: 
 Indigenous community members along the Slave River in Canada have voiced their concerns for the health of ecosystems under pressure from resource extraction, hydroelectric development and global climate change. We present a test case of traditional knowledge and scientific results about the spawning and migration patterns of fish in the Slave River and Delta. This dual knowledge system approach elucidates the broader connectivity of local study regions and can improve monitoring programmes by extending beyond the usual context/confines of the present or recent past, increasing the spatial and temporal range of system information.

Title: Livelihood assets and institutions for smallholder irrigation farmer market access in Limpopo, South Africa
Abstract: 
 Despite having access to irrigation water, many smallholder irrigation farmers in rural South Africa remain subsistence-oriented, with little market participation. Their tangible and intangible assets influence production and market access. Largely qualitative data collected in rural Limpopo Province show that the farmers’ tangible assets supported production but in some instances restricted them from producing efficiently. Likewise, their intangible assets mostly limited their capacity to produce efficiently, to find markets or to organize themselves. These farmers’ tangible assets need to be upgraded and their intangible assets need strengthening to increase production capacity and marketing efficiency.

Title: Improving sanitation in informal settlements of East African cities: hybrid of market and state-led approaches
Abstract: 
 This paper analyzes how sanitation can be improved in the informal settlements of East African cities through a hybrid model. Qualitative research was carried out in eight settlements in three cities. Findings show that all cities apply a hybrid model (with some variation) when providing improved sanitation to their residents. Sanitation services were available in all cities, but there was no evidence of the state actively organizing a functioning sanitation market in Kampala or Kisumu. This implies that a hybrid model with a strong and committed developmental state is the right choice in the context of the informal settlements of East African cities.

Title: Transboundary Water Management in Venezuela
Abstract: This paper's objective is to present an overview of the Venezuelan management of transboundary basins. It covers Venezuelan agreements with three neighbouring countries: Colombia, Brazil and Guyana. The Venezuelan management of the transboundary basins is based on equity. Nevertheless, this concept will depend on three main aspects: territorial sovereignty, inland waterways, and environmental conservation. Each of these factors will depend on the scenario of the country in which it is been considered. The main developments, in terms of international law, are under the framework of the Colombian relations. In the case of Brazil, it is under the framework of the multilateral agreement on the Amazon River. Guyana's agenda concerning river basins is more complex, as a result of the territorial dispute under UN Secretary General's supervision.

Title: Governance of Transboundary Aquifers: Balancing Efficiency, Equity and Sustainability
Abstract: Though most rules developed for governance of transboundary surface water will also apply to transboundary aquifers, adjustment is necessary to account for, among other things, paucity of data about aquifers, their sensitivity to contamination, and their potential to be treated as open access resources. This article explores those differences, and then suggests approaches to building institutions who can implement the rules. Experience shows that it is better to focus on future needs rather than past uses, to give priority to protection of the aquifer, and to use market instruments as tools to achieve rather than to propose results.

Title: The US–Mexico Border: Conflict and Co-operation in Water Management
Abstract: Water has become a topic of general concern to governments and society worldwide. Mexico and the United States are no exception, especially considering that the border between the two countries is located in an area not only characterized by drought and low rainfall, but also by the growth of the population living on both sides and the impacts of industrial development projects and increased pressure on water demand. The two countries share major surface water basins under an international treaty that was signed in 1944, but this treaty does not include the groundwater. Competition for water within each country has been growing, and also between the two countries, creating potential for possible conflicts, but has also resulted in close co-operation. This paper analyzes how the two countries work to reduce conflict and enhance co-operation in terms of managing water scarcity.

Title: The Silala/Siloli Watershed: Dispute over the Most Vulnerable Basin in South America
Abstract: The dispute over the Silala (or Siloli) Basin, shared by Bolivia and Chile, illustrates the importance of history, the role of indigenous communities, and the effects of differences in national socio-economic philosophies informing water resource management in international negotiations concerning transboundary watercourses, regardless of their size. The Silala case provides an illuminating example of the overlap between surface and groundwater regimes, and the range of interpretations states can uphold regarding this complex interaction. The objective of this paper is to present a brief case study, including a physical description, historical review, summary of current status, and discussion of the legal context of the transboundary Silala Basin.

Title: The La Plata Basin System against the Background of Other Basin Organizations
Abstract: The institutional structure of the large South American La Plata River basin started with the 1969 La Plata Basin Treaty, and it is at present a collection of bodies and commissions which behave autonomously. The treaty is not driven towards the comprehensive water management of the basin, and its purposes remain ambitious while at the same time rather declamatory. A few other river basins share La Plata Basin features, among them the Amazon, Congo, Danube, Mekong, and Nile Basins, and are analyzed in order to draw a fruitful comparison and to extract lessons learned out of their experience. Institutional architecture, decision-making structure, and funding are identified as decisive elements relevant for the efficient development of the La Plata Basin and sibling river basins organizations.

Title: Transboundary Water Management of the Amazon Basin
Abstract: In this paper the Amazon Basin is presented and its hydrology and natural environment are described. Monitoring this large river basin is necessary and becomes more and more important when different scientific institutions show alarming forecasts of increase in temperature and decrease in precipitation in the basin as a result of climate change. The monitoring scheme developed by Brazil and its neighbours shows the importance of this activity and its role as a mechanism to improve co-operation among countries in the basin. The institutional mechanism for transboundary river basin management is the Amazon Basin Co-operation Treaty, signed by the nine countries of the basin. This treaty is described and can serve as a good example of how this type of problem can be tackled in other regions of the world.

Title: Pilcomayo River Basin Institutional Structure
Abstract: Water resources of the Pilcomayo River Basin are shared between three countries: Argentina, Paraguay, and Bolivia. It is a transboundary basin. It has several and significant peculiarities from the physical viewpoints (hydrological, sedimentological and geomorphological), as well as from the point of view of its people, cultures, ethnicity, economy, productive activities, and political and institutional organizations. The governments of the three countries decided in 1995 to begin their harmonic water management in order to resolve existing problems and to anticipate future challenges that, inevitably, would lead to the development of their peoples with a watershed management vision. This paper presents an overview of the main achievements and institutional structure of the Tri-national Commission for the development of the Pilcomayo River basin.

Title: International Agreements, Institutions and Projects in La Plata River Basin
Abstract: La Plata River basin is one of the most important river systems in the world, mainly due to its degree of development. In 1967, the Intergovernmental Co-ordinating Committee of La Plata Basin Countries (CIC) was established and, two years later, the riparian countries signed the La Plata Basin Treaty, broadly comprehensive regarding its competence, as well as a framework agreement which has facilitated the implementation of numerous bilateral or multilateral agreements that characterize the current state of co-operation. Since the 1990s, with support from international organizations, a number of projects—at sub-basin or river level—have been carried out, and, in 2001, the development of a Framework Programme for the La Plata basin was agreed. The strengthening of CIC in order to foster synergies among the different institutions and projects towards an integrated basin management approach is expected.

Title: Transboundary Water Management in Latin America: Personal Reflections
Abstract: Management of transboundary water bodies has been a difficult process all over the world, especially in rivers where water allocation between the co-basin countries is an important issue. Discussion on the management of such water bodies in Latin America is significantly less confrontational and accusatory when compared to most similar Asian and African bodies. Information and data sharing in Latin America is also less of a problem compared to other parts of the developing world. Whereas considerable progress has been made in managing transboundary rivers, commensurate progress on aquifers is lacking. Methodology on how to reliably forecast the impacts of interventions on such water bodies has yet to be developed, especially because of national interests, multiplicity of institutions involved, and the capacities and modus operandi.

Title: Challenges and prospects of sustainable groundwater management in an agricultural plain along the Silk Road Economic Belt, north-west China
Abstract: 
 As a major challenge in building a new and sustainable Silk Road Economic Belt, threats induced by poor groundwater management have raised stress on the groundwater resources in the Yinchuan Plain, north-west China. In the present article, an overview of groundwater development in the plain, along with the associated negative effects, is provided. A fragmented management framework is found responsible for the poor groundwater management. Efficient and effective groundwater management will require proper attention of the local authorities to the inherent interaction among various water systems. Only with enhanced cooperation, an integrated monitoring network, strengthened scientific support and active public participation can the sustainability of groundwater management of the plain be achieved.

Title: Structuring water rights in China: a hierarchical framework
Abstract: 
 The rapid development of China’s market economy compels the adoption of water rights and associated market mechanisms to optimize the allocation of water resources. The complexity of understanding and practising Chinese water rights is highlighted by the unique contextual characteristics of an authoritarian political regime, rapid socio-economic change and increasing scarcity of water resources. This article proposes a hierarchical framework to describe the particular water-rights structure in China based on natural resources institutional economics. It provides an analysis of emerging water markets and key factors affecting the formation of a modern water-rights system in contemporary China.

Title: Participatory water management and adoption of micro-irrigation systems: smallholder farmers in arid north-western China
Abstract: 
 This study investigates smallholder farmers’ participation in and knowledge of village-based water user associations in north-western China, and analyzes their interplay with membership in water associations and installation and application of micro-irrigation systems. Using farmer survey data, a multivariate probit model is built to analyze the effects of influential factors. Results show significant effects of farmers’ perceptions of water shortage and its causes, attitudes to water conservation, village-based information, and incentives on the membership in water user associations and installation and application of micro-irrigation. Policies promoting micro-irrigation adoption should target decentralized water management and facilitate farmers’ participation.

Title: Policy and implementation of land-based resettlement in China (1949–2014)
Abstract: 
 Since 1949, land compensation and allocation standards for rural resettlers in China have gradually improved. However, the land allocation standards that local governments promised or that were stipulated by policy were not met in practice. The factors that led to implementation gaps included the development outlook of the central government, the will of resettlers, the execution ability of the local government and the attitudes of residents in the host villages. To meet land-based resettlement goals, the government should raise the land compensation standards, and residents in the host village should share the benefits of the project.

Title: Flash flood early warning research in China
Abstract: 
 Flash floods cause extensive loss of property and human life. Early warning systems present a more efficient approach to flood prevention and mitigation than engineering measures. This article reviews research on flash flood early warnings in China, including long-term prediction methods based on statistical regularity and flood mechanisms, and real-time warning indicators relying on multi-source data and automated systems. Current research shortcomings are discussed, and suggestions for future improvements are proposed. This research can provide public officials with knowledge of flash flood early warnings, influencing policy and protecting people from flash flood disasters.

Title: Analysis of changes in flood regime using a distributed hydrological model: a case study in the Second Songhua River basin, China
Abstract: 
 This study proposes and tests a new approach to detect and analyze changes in flood regime using a distributed hydrological model (EasyDHM), using the Second Songhua River basin, China, as a case study. Model calibration and parameter sensitivity were used to represent flood regimes in a 60-year series (1954–2013), with three different flood regime periods identified. The changes in flood regime were estimated by model parameters, flood result residuals and the overall process in the hydrological model in the three periods. The results show that human activities significantly impacted flood regimes, with significant flood regime change largely attributed to increases in water storage in multiple small reservoirs. Flood volume was reduced significantly between the periods in all three watersheds. The parameters also changed in variety between the periods. The study highlights the importance of incorporating data on small-reservoir constructions in flood control systems.

Title: Assessing emergency regulation technology in the Middle Route of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, China
Abstract: 
 The Middle Route of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project is important for China. Any sudden water pollution accident along the route would threaten normal water supply. We studied four technologies (hydrodynamic and water quality simulation, source identification, emergency regulation, and evaluation of emergency measures) and developed and implemented a decision support system that provides technical support in managing pollution accidents. The achievements, which include four technologies and a system, have practical significance for emergency management in the Middle Route as they can help deal with accidents and policy formulation, and can be applied to other water transfer projects.

Title: Conjunctive use of groundwater and surface water to reduce soil salinization in the Yinchuan Plain, North-West China
Abstract: 
 Poor water resource management is an important factor in soil salinization in arid areas. In this study, the status of soil salinization and its controlling factors are summarized for the Yinchuan Plain, North-West China. The conjunctive use of surface water diverted from the Yellow River and groundwater abstracted from a shallow aquifer is proposed to alleviate soil salinization in the plain. Scenarios are designed and simulated to determine the optimal proportions at which groundwater should be exploited for irrigation in the three cities of the plain. Policies and suggestions regarding sustainable water resources and soil salinization research in the plain are recommended.

Title: An alternative framework for analysing and managing conflicts in integrated water resources management (IWRM): linking theory and practice
Abstract: 
 Research on water resource conflicts needs to be better aligned with practitioner approaches to water resources development, chiefly integrated water resources management (IWRM). This paper bridges the gap between research and practice through a novel application of the social–ecological systems framework to a set of 10 conflict cases from an IWRM initiative in rural Central America. The conflicts in the empirical cases are found to be primarily the result of socio-political variables, particularly low levels of trust and social capital, and peacebuilding is suggested as a promising approach to address this suite of conflicts. The paper concludes with a proposed course of research designed to further both theoretical and applied knowledge of water resource conflicts.

Title: The business of water in a changing world: organizations, connectors and support sector
Abstract: 
 As water resources are used for an array of societal purposes, a core set of institutions manages them through a water sector with connections to other societal sectors such as food, energy and health. A framework of the sector and its connectors is presented to develop definitions and order-of-magnitude estimates of expenditures for infrastructure, equipment and service delivery mechanisms. Examples are provided for the US to represent higher-income countries and for the general case of lower-income countries. Understanding water’s business aspects can identify opportunities to improve water efficiency and lower water footprints across the global range of contextual situations.

Title: Sefficiency (sustainable efficiency) of water–energy–food entangled systems
Abstract: 
 Water–energy–food (WEF) entanglement is intensifying and technology is being presented as a crucial solution. But time and again the implemented alternative manifests results contrary to the objectives of design or management. To advance water security, transparent and complete input–output methodologies are needed. Here, a Sefficiency (sustainable efficiency) framework is used to reason through systemic analyses of options for WEF schemes by using water quantity within a comprehensive water balance, and quality and benefits in a multilevel water-use system. An energy regime (cost and normalized functions) and Sefficiency compute performance of four cases that show flaws both conceptually and practically in current policy and scientific tendencies.

Title: Water footprints and irrigated agricultural sustainability: the case of Chile
Abstract: 
 This paper estimates the agricultural production water footprint (WF) of Chile, assessing green, blue and grey WFs of the main agricultural products for the main productive regions, taking into account climatic and soil differences. Chile’s agricultural production blue WF is geographically concentrated in the lower portion of the Northern Dry Pacific and Central Chile area, which present less water availability. Thus, irrigated agricultural production in Chile, a semiarid country, is characterized by high water stress. In this scenario, public policies are required to incentivize better water management in order to reduce water vulnerability while boosting development.

Title: Cost-benefit analysis and equitable cost allocation for a residential rainwater harvesting system in the city of Austin, Texas
Abstract: 
 This study addresses the applicability and financial feasibility of residential rainwater harvesting systems in the city of Austin, Texas. A cost-benefit analysis is used to estimate the financial return for individual households with rainwater harvesting systems. In addition, a subsidy value that could be provided by the delay of a wastewater treatment plant expansion project is investigated. The findings suggest that a residential rainwater harvesting system would not be feasible without a sufficient subsidy. The estimated subsidy is also not enough to make the cost of the harvesting system effective; however, its multi-purpose benefits are not quantified.

Title: Improving water security through rainwater harvesting: a case from Guatemala and the potential for expanding coverage
Abstract: 
 Municipal infrastructure for water supply and delivery often does not reach populations in rural and peri-urban areas. This article examines rainwater harvesting as a means of increasing water security in such areas, through the case of Guachtuq, a peri-urban community outside San Cristóbal, Alta Verapaz, Guatemala. The project team designed a rainwater harvesting system to improve three dimensions of water security: quantity, quality and access. The design was implemented for 12 households and evaluated for its contribution to water security and for the potential of expanding project coverage to the region and beyond. The system has improved water security. Several concerns remain, however, regarding the potential of expanding the project to other households in the region and beyond, including system cost, water quality and the individualization of public responsibility for water security.

Title: Water policy in Spain: seeking a balance between transfers, desalination and wastewater reuse
Abstract: 
 Decision-making in water resources management is a perennial source of political debate. When a basin suffers from a structural water shortage the possible solutions are either a transfer from another basin or the use of other unconventional resources such as those obtained through desalination or water reuse. Politics and territorial interests have given rise to undesired fluctuations in Spain’s water policy, in particular with regard to transferring water from one basin to another. However, conflicts have not prevented water management in Spain from being one of the most advanced in the world, even with its unfavourable geographical context.

Title: Policy options for promoting urban–rural cooperation in water management: a review
Abstract: 
 As most cities share their water basins with rural areas, an efficient and environmentally sensible urban water management system needs to consider the interplay between urban and rural water uses. This article analyses the three main challenges at this interface: increased competition for water resources (scarcity); flood management (abundance); and freshwater quality conservation (pollution). The merit of potential policy options is discussed from an economics perspective, taking examples from successful experiences in cities around the world. The benefits and challenges arising from enhanced coordination and integration between urban and rural water management are highlighted.

Title: Desalination and the commons: tragedy or triumph?
Abstract: 
 A policy is more likely to be economically efficient when its costs and benefits fall on the same group, but politicians can allocate costs and benefits to different groups within their jurisdictional commons. This article examines the distribution of costs and benefits from desalination projects using examples from San Diego, Almería and Riyadh. The examples illustrate how mismatches between costs and benefits can persist or change as politicians adjust the policy portfolio to balance inefficiency and political risk.

Title: Demand function estimate for residential water in Oman
Abstract: 
 Current subsidies to residential water users in Oman are estimated at USD 314 million/y. This study estimates the demand function for residential water in Muscat, Oman, for households living in villas. A two-stage least squares econometric model with lagged average water price was used with socio-economic variables. Price elasticity for residential water in Muscat was estimated as –2.10. This high price elasticity is explained by the large proportion of water used for outdoor purposes. This study indicates that it may be possible to manage water demand in Muscat through modifying the price of water and reforming subsidies for residential water.

Title: Groundwater quota versus tiered groundwater pricing: two cases of groundwater management in north-west China
Abstract: 
 Difficulties in monitoring groundwater extraction cause groundwater regulations to fail worldwide. In two counties in north-west China local water authorities have installed smart card machines to monitor and regulate farmers’ groundwater use. Data from a household survey and in-depth interviews are used to evaluate the effectiveness of the different regulatory institutions implemented with help of the smart card machines. In the given context, groundwater quota is more effective in curbing farmers’ groundwater use than the tiered groundwater pricing. The study shows that the usefulness of smart card machines depends on their embedding in the societal context and related regulatory institutions.

Title: Development and application of a multi-scalar, participant-driven water poverty index in post-tsunami India
Abstract: 
 This article presents a modified water poverty index that captures several waterscape attributes to better understand complex issues surrounding water. Household surveys (n = 300), water quality tests (n = 375) and qualitative methods were deployed to examine 14 post-tsunami settlements in Nagapattinam and Karaikal Districts (India) through the lens of water. Data were used to develop a contextualized, participant-driven water poverty index to measure water poverty at several scales. Statistical tests revealed significant differences between the two districts (p ≤ .0001) and between rural and urban areas within each district (p ≤ .0001). Three weight schemes (one dictated entirely by research participants) produced analogous outcomes though predicated on different indicator arrangements.

Title: Reconstruction of a long streamflow record using tree rings in the upper Kurshab River (Pamir-Alai Mountains) and its application to water resources management
Abstract: 
 A 294-year streamflow record of the upper Kurshab River was inferred from tree-ring width chronology of Turkestan juniper from the Pamir-Alai Mountains of Kyrgyzstan. The reconstructed streamflow variations were consistent with other hydrometeorological reconstructions of northern Pakistan and western Tien Shan on a decadal timescale, which demonstrate both increased and decreased streamflow intervals and trends. The new reconstruction and other hydrometeorological series successfully captured the recent wetting trend of Central Asia. Wavelet analysis indicates that decadal and interannual cycles exist in the reconstructed streamflow, which may be linked to solar activity and the North Atlantic Oscillation.

Title: Considering precipitation forecasts for real-time decision-making in hydropower operations
Abstract: 
 This paper presents a new decision-making strategy for hydropower operations to handle uncertainty of forecasting precipitation. This strategy takes into account three basic components: uncertainty of precipitation, operation policies and a risk-evaluation model. In real-time operation, precipitations with different probabilities at different forecasting levels are obtained, and these precipitations are applied to forecast inflows using a hydrological forecasting model. Based on the forecasting inflows, the operation policies and risks with different probabilities are obtained. This study implements China’s Huanren reservoir and medium-term precipitation forecasts from the Global Forecast System to study the efficiency and stability of this strategy.

Title: Temperature and precipitation changes in the Midwestern United States: implications for water management
Abstract: 
 The Midwestern United States is the heartland of agriculture production, and changes in the hydro-climatology may affect both the quantity and the quality of production. Seasonal temperature and precipitation were analyzed for trends and shifts. The results indicate an increasing trend in spring temperature (6.4 °F) and summer precipitation (1.2 inches). Shifts in the variables were dominant during two periods: 1920–1930 and 1970–1990. The observed changes not only provide scientific reference for assessing the impact on water resources as a result of climate change, but also help water managers and planners in taking proactive decisions to mitigate the water stress in the region.

Title: Modelling impacts of development on water resources in the Huai Sai Bat sub-basin in north-eastern Thailand with a participatory approach
Abstract: 
 Little is done to connect hydrological modelling with stakeholder participation. This study incorporates agricultural development and climatic changes within the Water Evaluation and Planning hydrological model. This is done with a participatory approach involving four scenario workshops, 400 household surveys and two focus group discussions in the period of 2010–2012 for the ungauged Huai Sai Bat sub-basin as a case study in the Mekong region. The modelling results indicate future increased streamflow during the wet (monsoon) season in response to shifts in the regional climate. Modelled land-use and management changes brought about large unmet water demands, primarily in the dry season.

Title: Efficiency of Urban Water Supply Utilities in India
Abstract: The two parameters of services output of water utilities are the per capita water available for consumption and the hours for which water is supplied per day. However, water utilities in India differ on the level of these outputs substantially. This paper uses the data for water utilities in 31 cities to analyse their performance in delivery of services. Using data envelopment analysis, a measure of technical efficiency for various utilities is calculated. The results indicate that water utilities can increase the delivery of water on a per capita basis and increase the hours of supply per day by about 18%. Nearly 37% of the increase in services could result from changing the scale of operation. This paper also discusses if the institutional framework within which these utilities operate has implications on their efficiency.

Title: Water Governance in Canada: Innovation and Fragmentation
Abstract: This paper explores Canada's approach to water governance. It argues that fragmented governance has had negative impacts on Canada's ability to manage water resources adequately (particularly in the context of urbanization, agriculture and resource extraction), and to deal with new issues (such as climate change). Further, it argues that Canada's highly decentralized approach to water governance creates challenges of integration, coordination and data availability. The paper explores possible future strategies for innovations in water governance that may have the potential to improve water management outcomes.

Title: Agricultural Groundwater Management in Andhra Pradesh, India: A Focus on Free Electricity Policy and its Reform
Abstract: The impact of the free electricity policy on agriculture in the state of Andhra Pradesh (AP), India, is the main focus of this work. It is assumed that this policy has a very high political currency and there is, therefore, a difficultly in recalling it in the short-term. In this context, plausible reforms to this policy are explored with an objective to weed out the inefficiencies in this subsidy regime in the context of groundwater extraction and utilization. These reforms are aimed at reducing the ambit of beneficiaries of this subsidy based on their affordability and increasing the water productivity of agriculture in the state. Some examples exclude large farmers from this policy, offering free electricity conditional upon adopting the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) or adopting micro-irrigation or shifting cropping patterns. These alternate policies are evaluated based on the impact on groundwater extraction, fiscal costs, equity, political feasibility, issues in implementation etc. Finally, it is suggested that the government offers free electricity conditional upon adopting water-efficient cropping practices such as the SRI as a short-term step for increasing the effectiveness of this policy and mitigating its adverse impact on groundwater extraction.

Title: Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Water Management Policies in Bangladesh
Abstract: Water resources development and management policies initiatives in Bangladesh are primarily driven by the need for sufficient food grain production for the country's teeming population and curtailing the perennial flooding problems. It is therefore necessary to investigate whether or not these objectives are being met. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impacts of past water resources development and management strategies on agriculture, food security, flood management and socio-economic development in Bangladesh. The research is based on the historical data of the relevant parameters of the water resources management over the period 1947–2005. The outcomes of the study demonstrate that past policies and strategies of water development have resulted in significant irrigation expansion, especially through intensified groundwater utilization, which has helped to achieve the country's primary objective of self-sufficiency in food production. However, the provision of safe drinking water and sanitation facilities still remains a challenge in the country. Similarly, the impact of the flood control policies was diverse with success mostly apparent with regard to protection against modest events, while catastrophic, extreme events still effectively defying answer.

Title: Water Right Prices in the Rio Grande: Analysis and Policy Implications
Abstract: Climate change, water supply limits, growing environmental values of water and worldwide population growth continue to raise the scarcity of water. These challenges have intensified the transfer of water from farms to cities. Water right transfers are an important international institution to stretch water supplies. In North America's Rio Grande Basin water right transfers are an especially important institution for meeting the growth in urban demands. Despite the importance of water right transfers as a social institution, sellers face uncertainty on the asking price, while buyers face similar uncertainty on the offer price. Weak information on water right prices stymies water transfers while limiting the future resilience of water transfers to address climate change and the need to cope with change in water supplies and demands. This paper describes the development of a database on water right prices using observed transactions from 1980 to 2007. An empirical model was developed using the data to identify important factors influencing those prices. Five water right price predictors were found to be significant: total regional urban water use, priority date of the water right, quantity of water rights offered for sale, regional reservoir storage volume, and regional farm income. Depending on the future status of food scarcity and urban water conservation programmes, water right prices in the basin could grow from zero to 27% over 2010–2020.

Title: Why a Water Soft Path, Why Now and What Then?
Abstract: The best way to achieve a sustainable future for fresh water is to develop decision-making processes, institutions, and technologies that emphasize both efficiency and conservation. These two terms are commonly treated as synonyms, but, respectively, they reflect anthropogenic and ecological bases for making decisions. Recognizing that both perspectives are valid, this article outlines a new approach to water planning and management called the water soft path. This approach differs fundamentally from conventional, supply-based approaches. The article reviews the transfer of the original soft path concept from energy to water, and summarizes the first applications of water soft path analytics to specific geographic areas: one urban area, one province, and one watershed in Canada. The article concludes with suggestions for further research, as well as steps to improve recognition of the water soft path as a planning tool that can move management and policies towards economic, ecological, and social sustainability.

Title: Water Policy and Regulatory Reform in New Zealand
Abstract: New Zealand faces unusual water challenges. The country relies heavily upon agricultural exports. This has resulted in the adoption of a permissive, devolved system of water management. However, the intensification of land use has resulted in significant water degradation, and stretched the capacity of local government to address competing water needs. Water resource management has largely been devolved to local government with limited national policy guidance creating further tensions. This paper summarizes recent water policy and reform in New Zealand, and discusses how central government is attempting to reinvigorate national guidance for future water management.

Title: Opportunity Costs of Ensuring Sustainability in Urban Water Services
Abstract: This paper assesses technical performance in the water industry in the Southern European region of Andalusia, while accounting for sustainability in the management of water. This allows the opportunity cost of producing sustainability to be evaluated. Given the low cost of raw water in Spain in relation to the estimated opportunity cost of saving this natural resource, wasting water becomes a profitable strategy for utility managers from a private perspective. However, this managerial strategy has a huge social cost in an area of Europe where the sustainable management of water is a pressing need. The conclusion is that environmental policy aimed at discouraging this wasteful behaviour is urgently needed. For this reason, a suitable mix of environmental taxes on water abstraction and institutional reforms is proposed.

Title: Resettling Farm Households in Northwestern Vietnam: Livelihood Change and Adaptation
Abstract: This paper examines how a resettlement programme in northwestern Vietnam has affected the livelihood assets, strategies and outcomes of the resettled and host households. Data were collected using informal interviews, followed by a structured survey of 56 resettled and 52 host households. Results show a significant decline in natural capital for the resettled households and a lesser decline for the host households; however, both groups have partially compensated for this through land use intensification. The net income of the host households did not change significantly after resettlement, whereas the farm revenues of the resettled households fell dramatically, but, due to the compensation payments made to them, their net household income actually increased. Most compensation money has been consumed rather than invested in livelihood assets; livelihood outcomes might therefore deteriorate when the compensation payments end.

Title: Gains from Improved Irrigation Water Use Efficiency in Egypt
Abstract: Egypt's fortunes hinge on the Nile. However, little research to date has evaluated economic efficiency improvements that could be achieved by altering Egypt's agricultural water use patterns. This study develops an integrated catchment scale framework to identify potential economic benefits that can be supported by Egypt's irrigation water use. An optimization framework is developed to identify improvements in national farm income, which can be produced with current water supplies that are compatible with Egypt's hydrological, environmental, and institutional constraints. Results suggest that limited water trading across locations and seasons can increase national farm income by up to 28%. The methods used provide a framework for informing decisions on sustainable use of land and water for improved rural livelihoods in the developing world's irrigated areas.

Title: Do the Virtual Water and Water Footprint Perspectives Enhance Policy Discussions?
Abstract: The notions of virtual water and water footprints are gaining popularity among researchers and practitioners in the field of water resources. Many of the published articles include statements suggesting that public policies regarding water allocation, agriculture, or international trade should reflect consideration of virtual water and water footprints. Yet those notions lack a scientifically tested conceptual framework and they are too narrowly defined to inform policy decisions in a meaningful way. Consumers, firms, and public officials wishing to improve water resource management need and deserve much better information than is contained in estimates of virtual water and water footprints. A more thoughtful, comprehensive approach is needed to develop policies that will truly improve the management of water and other natural resources, while also enhancing livelihoods.

Title: Consequences of Increasing Environmental Complexity in the Water Domain
Abstract: The increasing complexity of environmental policy is a result of new and global environmental issues and IT developments. Global environmental impacts seem to result in new forms of governance and practices. This may require new or broader conceptual frameworks. Beside the disturbance chain (DPSIR), a well-structured process of data and information flows is also needed. Water mass and load balances also offer a lot of opportunities and may serve as a basic tool for policy measures, sustainable development or the development of complex indicators. It will be shown that balances relate in a stepwise pattern to a broad and high-level policy, making this process more efficient and effective. This approach is of practical use for integrated water management, although the description of this term should be restricted in favour of new terms dealing explicitly with governance aspects.

Title: Conflicting Objectives of Trinidad's Water Pricing Policy: A Need for Good Water Pricing and Governance
Abstract: Water pricing policy is determined by multiple, though conflicting objectives. This paper analyzes flat water charges for households based on property values, using Trinidad as a case study. A major finding is that this tariff is economically inefficient and encourages water wastage which becomes environmentally unsustainable. Also, while social equity is a main objective in using this method of water pricing, in reality this is compromised. A key contribution of this paper is that water supply is regular in many countries where flat rates are used, but Trinidad consumers suffer from water shortages. The politics of water pricing and poor governance explain this anomaly in service, economic inefficiency, social inequity, and environmentally unsustainable water management.

Title: Drivers of Economic Information in River Basin Planning
Abstract: Modern water policy requires new kinds of economic information in order to improve the ability of stakeholders and water authorities to analyze the whole set of alternatives available, to provide transparency and to assess and adapt water decisions to the emerging water management challenges. Considering this, we present an overview of the main drivers of economic information in the European water policy agenda as defined by the Water Framework Directive. After a brief introduction, the paper explains how basic economic statistics have been used to carry out the economic analysis of water use for the preparation of river basin management plans. We present the strategies used to enhance the usefulness of the economic information already available. The paper ends with a reflection on what parts of the economic information gaps have been satisfactorily dealt with and what the remaining gaps are.

Abstract: This paper discusses the implementation of the Participatory Irrigation Management Act in Central India where the responsibility of irrigation management was partially transferred to the end users through the formation of farmers' organizations. The paper focuses on various reforms carried out as per the Act, and their impacts on irrigation management. Analysis shows that such programmes will reap intended benefits, if the end users are involved in a more effective manner with greater autonomy and delegation of powers. Further, for greater effectiveness, the Participatory Irrigation Management Act needs to enable a few institutional changes, which can be more suitable for the end users.

Title: Energy Demand Considerations for the Supply of Domestic Water in Jamaica
Abstract: Jamaica's water supply sector is recognized as the largest electricity consumer in the island's public sector. This paper evaluates whether replacing high-cost groundwater abstraction with surface water treatment and distribution is a viable option to minimize electricity consumption in the water sector. The findings suggest that a change from groundwater abstraction to surface water treatment and distribution by conveying surface water around the island incurs higher electricity costs compared to the present supply model (reliance on ground water). However, as part of a strategy for a more efficient water sector it is recommended that the above approach be further evaluated with more economic considerations, engineering designs and possible storage facilities to reduce the time of pumping of ground water.

Title: Changing Roles in Canadian Water Management: A Case Study of Agriculture and Water in Canada's South Saskatchewan River Basin
Abstract: This paper explores changing roles in Canadian water management, by focusing on a case study of agriculture and water in Western Canada. Challenges in water management include unequal adaptive capacity, gaps in water and climate data, locally relevant options, short- and long-term planning, among others. This empirical study offers insight for improved water management decision-making for all regions. There is a need for improving and integrating water management with climate scenarios, collecting more and better water/climate data, improving water governance and long-term planning, and developing strong communication channels between governance organizations and local communities. Positive trends towards effective and adaptive water management include the incorporation of watershed groups, basin planning, and the use of multidisciplinary approaches to guide decision-making.

Title: Improving the Information Base to Better Guide Water Resource Management Decision Making
Abstract: This paper presents the main messages as well as the key recommendations presented during the OECD workshop on information base and water resource management decision making, in Zaragoza, Spain, May 2010. Findings include fundamental issues to which further attention should be paid. There is an information imbalance in many countries, with implementation of water policy initiatives often supported by little data or information. There is also the limitation of many countries to collect water information due to lack of resources and loss of expertise to collect, analyze and interpret water data.

Title: The Challenges of Implementing the Water Framework Directive in Spain
Abstract: The paper analyses the challenges the Water Framework Directive represents for Spain. The main issues include the complexity of implementing water planning under the present institutional arrangements, the difficulties of putting into practice the principle of cost recovery, and the validation of the scientific criteria of the Directive in terms of water quality. In spite of the added difficulties resulting from the very rigid timeframe for the implementation of the Directive as well as the international economic crisis which has affected every economic and social sector in the country, the Directive is considered as an opportunity to modernize and improve water policy in Spain.

Title: The European Water Framework Directive: A Framework?
Abstract: The European Water Framework Directive (Directive 2000/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a framework for the Community action in the field of water policy—in short, WFD) is probably the most ambitious and complex of all European environmental regulations. In Spain, and in some other countries, the idea has spread that the WFD involves a radical change of perspective and will obsolete the previous regulations about water. In my opinion, this mystification of the WFD is profoundly naive and reveals a lack of knowledge of history and an insufficient perspective on the global problem. In some sectors the WFD has generated a mirage and collective illusion, from which it must awaken if it wishes to advance, in an effective, non-rhetorical way, towards real improvements of the existing situation.

Title: Who Manages Spain's Water Resources? The Political and Administrative Division of Water Management
Abstract: At the beginning of the 20th century, Spain introduced a pioneering system of water management by river basins, which was later endorsed by the EU Water Framework Directive. Recently, for a variety of political and administrative reasons, a number of fierce territorial disputes and debates have arisen that challenge the validity of this system. Changes have also taken place in the way water is managed, with a shift towards a more environmentally friendly approach. It is recommended that the river basin remain the basic territorial unit for any water management system, although this will require a National Water Agreement.

Title: Assessment of the Draft Hydrological Basin Plan of the Guadalquivir River Basin (Spain)
Abstract: This paper evaluates and discusses the draft Hydrological Basin Plan (HBP) for the Guadalquivir river basin and its related Programme of Measures (PoM). The HBP focuses on demand management using technical and economic measures, particularly through investment in water efficiency measures. In addition, it seeks to eliminate urban point source pollution. By 2015, a sustainable water resource demand is projected if the current area of irrigated land is not expanded and if the urban waste water treatment work is completed according to Directive 91/271/CEE. It is expected that costs of implementation will be high. The total investment of the PoM is estimated to be €978 per capita per year; this investment has an annual equivalent cost of €143 per capita per year. However, it is estimated that 67% of the total investment can be recovered with special impact in increase in the cost of irrigation water by 160% and the cost of urban water by 60%. Finally, this paper ends with a discussion on the most critical points likely to hinder the HBP being used effectively as a tool for sustainable water management.

Title: Irrigated Agriculture in Spain: Diagnosis and Prescriptions for Improved Governance
Abstract: The objective of this paper is to diagnose the current state of irrigation in Spain in order to support government decision makers to improve the design and application of their plans for action. The analysis implemented shows that this sector faces two main challenges: the decrease in the support given by the Common Agricultural Policy (lower subsidies/incomes) and the implementation of the European Water Framework Directive (stricter environmental requirements). While the survival of extensive irrigated agriculture in inland regions depends on farmers producing different crops and modernizing production techniques, littoral regions must respond with technological innovation, especially techniques that save water and help differentiate their products. Within this scenario, a public policy is justified, aimed at improving Spanish irrigation schemes looking forward to better economic performance, an increase in the efficiency of water use and the mitigation of pollution problems.

Title: Assessment of Nonpoint Pollution Instruments: The Case of Spanish Agriculture
Abstract: Nonpoint pollution is characterized by imperfect knowledge of biophysical processes, stochastic components, and asymmetric information among agents. The design and implementation of measures to abate emissions is a difficult task because of this lack of biophysical information and the strategic behaviour of stakeholders. The development of input-intensive agriculture in Spain during the last century has created large discharges of nutrients and other harmful substances into water bodies, causing damage to aquatic ecosystems. In Spain and other European countries, the control of nonpoint pollution is a crucial step in achieving the “good” ecological status of water bodies sought by the European Water Framework Directive. The empirical findings challenge the current approach to pollution policies and call for policy efforts focused on nurturing stakeholders' collective action and on supporting the necessary institutional setting.

Title: Is the Pricing of Urban Water Services Justifiably Perceived as Unequal among Spanish Cities?
Abstract: Decentralized decision making and lack of regulation lead to the existence of significant differences in the price of water for residential uses among Spanish cities. Why do these differences persist? Do they have to do with cost differentials or do they result from political and business interests? Can users perceive water tariffs as fair or is there unfairness among citizens when it comes to the access to water? We find that some of the differences are due to arbitrary decisions made by policy and business decision makers, so it is recommended that a regulation be adopted that sets criteria for guidance in tariff design, especially for lower levels of consumption within which water is considered a merit good.

Title: Tariffs for Urban Water Services in Spain: Household Size and Equity
Abstract: The purpose of this work is to evaluate the consequences of tariffs that use sliding-scale prices to assess the aggregated consumption of households in terms of equity. Particular attention is paid to special tariffs for larger households. The study analyzes the tariffs that were in effect in Spanish provincial capitals in 2008. The results confirm that there are equity problems associated with the size of the household, particularly regarding large households. Furthermore, the results show that a large part of the special tariffs that have been adopted do not solve that equity problem.

Title: Groundwater: The Invisible Resource
Abstract: Groundwater in Spain remained a free resource until 1985, when it became regulated by a complex administrative regime. This regime, together with inefficient water use, has led to overexploitation, salination and other forms of contamination of underground water supplies in some southern, south-eastern and central areas of the Iberian Peninsula. Ecologically important wetlands in these regions have also been affected. This article analyzes the causes of groundwater mismanagement and proposes a new management model based on the formation of communities of users of the same body of groundwater. These communities would share management responsibilities with the water administration authority according to a new set of norms and measures aimed at ensuring sustainable use.

Title: Evaluation of Spain's Water-Energy Nexus
Abstract: This paper explores the water-energy nexus of Spain and offers calculations for both the energy used in the water sector and the water required to run the energy sector. The article takes a prospective approach, offering evaluations of policy objectives for biofuels and expected renewable energy sources. Approximately 5.8% of total electricity demand in Spain is due to the water sector. Irrigated agriculture is one of the Spanish water sectors that show the largest growth in energy requirements. Searches for more efficient modes of farm water use, urban waste water treatment, and the use of desalinated water must henceforth include the energy component. Furthermore, biofuel production, to the levels targeted for 2020, would have an unbearable impact on the already stressed water resources in Spain. However, growing usage of renewable energy sources is not threatened by water scarcity, but legislative measures in water allocation and water markets will be required to meet the requirements of using these sources. Some of these measures, which are pushed by regional governments, are discussed in concluding sections.

Title: Desalination in Spain: A Growing Alternative for Water Supply
Abstract: The Spanish Mediterranean coast has a significant water deficit. In order to deal with potential shortages in the future, the AGUA programme has been constructing desalination plants since 2004. Taking into account the growing importance of desalination in Spain, the objective of this research is to offer an overview of desalination in this country, its evolution and its present situation. This paper sets out to review the legal framework, the stakeholders who participate and support this activity, the technologies employed, the production costs and the environmental impacts. Some of the factors that have helped boost the interest in desalination are political support, the implementation of more adequate technologies and the favourable evolution of the associated costs.

Title: Developing new urban water supplies: investigating motivations and barriers to groundwater use in Cape Town
Abstract: 
 Many cities are experiencing increasing water resource stress. In Cape Town, South Africa, surface water supplies are at a record low due to a multi-year drought crisis which began in 2015. This paper analyzes the range of motivations, possibilities and obstacles related to diversifying Cape Town’s water supply system through the upscaling of groundwater resources. Drawing on insights from local experts, it is maintained that uncertainty surrounding groundwater and drought-management practices present significant barriers to Cape Town’s ongoing water diversification efforts. This paper provides further insight and discussion for future water planning in Cape Town, as well as for other urban, water-scarce, regions.

Title: Managing the wicked problem of Devils Lake flooding along the US–Canada border
Abstract: 
 The flooding of Devils Lake, North Dakota, is a multi-decade, multi-billion-dollar, and yet unsolved water management issue along the US–Canada border. In this study, we define this situation as a ‘wicked problem’ and suggest a ‘green paradiplomacy’–based framework that fosters multiactor, multiscale collaboration across jurisdictions as a management strategy. We interviewed stakeholders and combined their perceptions with currently employed management strategies to assess the potential for green paradiplomacy to address the Devils Lake problem. This study may encourage further discussion of green paradiplomacy as a strategy to manage other transboundary watershed problems along the US–Canada border and elsewhere.

Title: Explaining improvements and continuing challenges in water access in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
Abstract: 
 The equitable and universal provision of safe and affordable water is one of the Sustainable Development Goals, but progress has been slow, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa. This paper presents a case study of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, to highlight water access progress at the city scale. Using household surveys and interviews with officials, it explains improvements in hours of water availability and numbers of household water connections, but also discusses the remaining challenges with water cost and customer satisfaction. To achieve the goal of universal access, the city must further increase water production and address concerns with how water quality is monitored.

Title: Water buybacks to recover depleted aquifers in south-east Spain
Abstract: 
 This article assesses the economic impact of implementing a public buyback of groundwater rights to eliminate non-renewable pumping in the Murcia Plateau of the Spanish Segura basin, home of some of the most depleted aquifers in Europe. We find that, regardless of the policy instrument applied, stopping non-renewable extraction would severely hit the agricultural sector. The buyback of rights would not prevent this impact but the cost of reducing extraction would be borne by the government instead of farmers, making it a potentially more successful alternative. However, the estimated cost for the public budget is very large and probably unaffordable.

Title: Micro-irrigation development in India: an analysis of distributional pattern and potential correlates
Abstract: 
 In India, of late, micro-irrigation has received considerable policy focus. However, as of 2017, only about 10% of the potential area is under micro-irrigation. The present study analyzes the pattern and equity issues of distribution of micro-irrigation in India and identifies the potential correlates. The regression analysis reveals that the stage of groundwater development and agro-climatic differences significantly influence the spread of micro-irrigation. The relatively low spread of micro-irrigation in states with over-exploited groundwater needs attention. Overall, the study points to the need to revamp the current micro-irrigation development programmes, which focus excessively on subsidy.

Title: India’s National Water Policy: ‘feel good’ document, nothing more
Abstract: 
 Three versions of the National Water Policy (NWP) have failed to make any perceptible difference in improving water management in India. The excuse that water is a state subject and thus central government cannot do much is not valid. States have always been a party to the formulation of the NWP. They have the freedom to modify the NWP to suit their individual requirements. Many states have adopted a state water policy. Even such state-level policies have failed to make any significant impact in improving their water management practices. Neither the NWP nor the state water policies have made any impact on practice. Reasons for the NWP basically being a paper exercise are many, including lofty drafting and policy prescriptions that are divorced from reality; lack of courage at the Water Ministry to take a firm stand on any of the provisions at either the drafting or the implementation stages; the practice of keeping specialists away from policies; and the dominance of generalists who have neither a demonstrable understanding of the complexities of the water sector nor a long-term commitment to it.

Title: Governing the water commons in China: from historical oriental despotism to contemporary fragmented hydraulic state
Abstract: 
 This paper explores water commons and its governance in China. Neither oriental despotism nor fragmented hydraulic state accurately describes water governance in China. Instead, a combined approach of Grand Union governance logic and polycentric policy-making analysis is proposed. The paper argues that the concept of the commons in China is dual-dimensional, with a vertical dimension of public authority and a horizontal dimension of sharing-in-common; that power structures have often been flexible, adaptive, polycentric and highly experimental; and that, correctly applied, this approach also strives to serve the common good, ensuring positive impacts for shared prosperity, while mitigating negative impacts.

Title: Profitability and productivity barriers and opportunities in small-scale irrigation schemes
Abstract: 
 Irrigation development in Sub-Saharan Africa has lagged significantly behind that in other developing countries. Consequently, economic development and food security are also lagging behind. Since the mid-2000s there has been a resurgence in the willingness to invest in irrigation, and Sub-Saharan Africa has the largest potential of any developing region to benefit from it. However, to gain from new investment in irrigation without repeating past failures, it is critical to develop a business model for small-scale irrigation schemes. This article explores the barriers that such a model needs to address to be successful and the opportunities this represents for irrigators’ profitability.

Title: Irrigation and crop diversification in the 25 de Setembro irrigation scheme, Mozambique
Abstract: 
 Crop diversification is one way of improving the profitability of small-scale irrigation schemes. The 25 de Setembro scheme is an ideal site to analyze diversification, as it is influenced by the markets in Maputo and South Africa. This study uses information gathered from observations, discussions with irrigators and an irrigator survey. Results identified seven irrigator types with different crop diversification strategies predominantly influenced by resource constraints. Most irrigators produce traditional crops, although there are opportunities for growing crops that are more profitable. Improved extension services, to identify cropping strategies that better align with market demand, would improve profitability.

Title: Barriers to and opportunities for improving productivity and profitability of the Kiwere and Magozi irrigation schemes in Tanzania
Abstract: 
 Irrigation is a key strategy for food security and poverty alleviation among small farmers in Tanzania. However, the potential of irrigation to improve food security is limited by multiple barriers. This article discusses these barriers within the Kiwere and Magozi schemes. Results indicate that water supply barriers are caused by poor irrigation infrastructure and management. Lack of finance is also a critical barrier to increasing overall productivity. Finance affects farmers’ timely access to adequate supply of quality inputs and machinery and availability of transport to access inputs and profitable markets. There is evidence that these barriers have to be addressed holistically.

Title: Irrigation development in Zimbabwe: understanding productivity barriers and opportunities at Mkoba and Silalatshani irrigation schemes
Abstract: 
 Productivity barriers and opportunities influencing smallholder irrigation sustainability in Zimbabwe were identified using case studies of the Silalatshani and Mkoba irrigation schemes. The major barriers were poor infrastructure and soil fertility, and poor access to farm inputs, farm implements, functioning markets and agricultural knowledge, which resulted in low yields, food insecurity and negative farm income. Most irrigated land remains unused, and marketing of produce is uncoordinated. Mobile technologies provide opportunities for market information dissemination. Institutions are needed to continuously encourage dialogue among agricultural value chain stakeholders to allow irrigators to align their operations to market demands and improve the viability of irrigation systems.

Title: An overview of extension use in irrigated agriculture and case studies in south-eastern Africa
Abstract: 
 This study provides an overview of extension influence on the adoption of irrigation innovations in developed and developing countries, and finds that extension plays a more significant positive role in influencing soft technology adoption in developing countries. Case studies on the nature, use and availability of extension advice in six irrigation schemes in Tanzania, Mozambique and Zimbabwe are presented. The use of government extension officers varied significantly, with extension use not linked to farm outcomes. The results suggest the need to support more diverse sources of advice and to promote institutional reform in south-eastern Africa.

Title: Income inequality within smallholder irrigation schemes in Sub-Saharan Africa
Abstract: 
 Equitable income distribution is recognized as critical for poverty reduction, particularly in developing areas. Most of the existing literature is based on region- or country-wide data; fewer empirical studies exist at community levels. This article examines income disparities within six smallholder irrigation schemes in Zimbabwe, Tanzania and Mozambique, comparing inequality at local and national levels, as well as decomposing inequality by group and by source. The results present significant contrasts between schemes and compared to national figures. This evidences that, inadvertently, nation-wide strategies may overlook high inequality at smaller scales, and thus, development policies should be tailored to the specific areas of intervention.

Title: A soil water and solute learning system for small-scale irrigators in Africa
Abstract: 
 Better yields of high-value crops are necessary for a profitable irrigation industry in sub-Saharan Africa. We introduced two simple tools, the Chameleon soil moisture sensor and the FullStop wetting front detector, which represent soil water, nitrate and salt levels in the soil by displaying different colours. These tools form the basis of an experiential learning system for small-scale irrigators. We found that farmers quickly learned from the tools and changed their management within a short time. The cost of implementing a learning system would be a small fraction of that of building or revitalizing irrigation schemes.

Title: Theory and application of Agricultural Innovation Platforms for improved irrigation scheme management in Southern Africa
Abstract: 
 Many small-scale irrigation systems are characterized by low yields and deteriorating infrastructure. Interventions often erroneously focus on increasing yields and rehabilitating infrastructure. Small-scale irrigation systems have many of the characteristics of complex socio-ecological systems, with many different actors and numerous interconnected subsystems. However, the limited interaction between the different subsystems and their agents prevents learning and the emergence of more beneficial outcomes. This article reports on using Agricultural Innovation Platforms to create an environment in which irrigation scheme actors can engage, experiment, learn and build adaptive capacity to increase market-related offtake and move out of poverty.

Title: Irrigating Africa: policy barriers and opportunities for enhanced productivity of smallholder farmers
Abstract: 
 African governments have ambitious plans to expand irrigated agriculture, though existing smallholder schemes have largely failed to use land and water sustainably or become profitable. Six government-owned irrigation schemes in Mozambique, Tanzania and Zimbabwe were assessed to identify common policy barriers and opportunities for higher productivity among smallholder farmers. Issues like insecure land tenure systems, unclear institutional arrangements and poor access to markets have contributed to limited profitability. Reform of currently insecure land tenure, strengthening farmer organizations and reforming policies are recommended so that governments step back from scheme management and foster market linkages to enable more profitable irrigated agriculture.

Title: Communal irrigation systems in South-Eastern Africa: findings on productivity and profitability
Abstract: 
 Significant expansion of irrigated agriculture is planned in Africa, though existing smallholder schemes perform poorly. Research at six schemes in Mozambique, Tanzania and Zimbabwe shows that a range of problems are exacerbated by poor management, with limited market linkages leading to underutilization and a lack of profit. Improving sustainability of these complex systems will require: multiple interventions at different scales; investing in people and institutions as much as hardware; clarity in governments’ objectives for their smallholder irrigation schemes; appropriate business models to enable farmers; and better market linkages.

Title: The Australian Murray–Darling Basin Plan: challenges in its implementation (part 1)
Abstract: 
 The latest in a set of major water reforms in the Australian Murray–Darling Basin occurred in November 2012 with completion of a new integrated water resources plan for the region (the Basin Plan). This occurred over a four-year period (2009–12) and was not without controversy. However, perhaps the most challenging part of this reform is occurring now with the implementation of the Basin Plan between 2012 and 2024. This paper discusses the key tasks to be undertaken by June 2016 and the main challenges in their implementation. A companion paper discusses the challenges in implementing the other tasks that need to be settled by 2024.

Title: Streamflow and lake water level changes and their attributed causes in Eastern and Southern Africa: state of the art review
Abstract: 
 The objective of this review is to evaluate recent quantitative changes in streamflow and lake water levels in drainage basins of Eastern and Southern Africa. Findings indicate that the majority of analyzed case studies report decreasing streamflow or lake water levels between 1970 and 2010. The causes of change are chiefly anthropogenic, namely water withdrawal, land use and land cover change, and dams, and only to a lesser degree climate-related. However, there are distinct regional and temporal differences regarding reported changes and causes, e.g. land use and land cover change being mainly attributed to Eastern Africa, and dams to Southern Africa.

Title: Exploring alternative sources of funding for deploying sustainable sanitation technologies and services in Mongolia
Abstract: 
 One of the major challenges for deploying sustainable sanitation technologies and services around the world is financing. The present study applied both qualitative (key informant interviews) and quantitative (household survey) methods to explore sources of alternative financing in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, towards deploying sustainable sanitation technologies and services. Microfinance organizations, government subsidies and mining industries may represent potential sources of financing for the implementation of sustainable sanitation technologies and services in Mongolia. Moreover, building social capital among Ger residents and reinventing the idea of ‘corporate WASH responsibility’ could constitute new directions for the future.

Title: Two-part pricing contracts under competition: the South-to-North Water Transfer Project supply chain system in China
Abstract: 
 This study analyzes the water supply chain system of the Eastern Route of the South-to-North Water Transfer Project in China. The article compares the impacts of competition intensity on profits of two water distributors and the water supply chain system under two-part pricing contracts versus wholesale price contracts. When the upstream water supplier offers two-part pricing contracts, the water quantity and expected profits of both distributors decrease as the competition intensity increases. The expected profits of the supply chain system decrease, but are greater than the profits under wholesale price contracts. The government can control fixed costs to balance the profits of suppliers and distributors.

Title: Understanding reductions in water consumption in tourist areas: a case study of the Costa Brava, Spain
Abstract: 
 With nearly three million tourists per year, the Costa Brava (Spain) is one of the most frequently visited tourist areas on the Mediterranean coast. The aim of this article is to understand its hydrosocial cycle and to identify why water consumption per capita is decreasing in the region. Overall, this decrease is not related to a single factor. Instead, many factors, including the incorporation of technological and institutional innovations in water management, increasing levels of social awareness related to saving water, the introduction of alternative water resources, and increasing water prices, must be considered together.

Title: Economic valuation of irrigation water in south-eastern Mexico
Abstract: 
 Ongoing discussion on new water legislation in Mexico emphasizes the need to consider the economic dimension of water. Using the net income change method, in this article the economic value of irrigation water is estimated for banana cultivation in the state of Tabasco, which is a tropical region with high rainfall. The main results show that irrigated farms are 34–37% more profitable than rainfed ones with similar revenue levels, with corresponding water values of 1.48–1.75 USD/m3. These values are a proxy of farmers’ maximum willingness to pay, and can be used to inform tariff reform.

Title: Determinants of willingness to pay for groundwater: insights from informal water markets in Rafsanjan, Iran
Abstract: 
 This study highlights the methodological challenges in determining the value of water in informal water markets. As the decision to participate in water markets is unlikely to be random, self-selectivity is an important issue for an unbiased estimation of the participating farmers’ revealed willingness to pay. The relevance of these issues is illustrated for an informal irrigation water market in Iran. A two-stage random sampling was carried out in pistachio-growing farms which are irrigated by water from the Rafsanjan aquifer in Iran during 2008–2009. A Heckman sample selection model shows that the real willingness to pay can be less than the observed prices in an informal water market.

Title: Farmer heterogeneity and water pricing reform: a case study from Vietnam
Abstract: 
 Water pricing has been recognized as an important policy instrument for improving the efficiency of irrigation and underpinning the sustainability of related services. However, establishing and charging the ‘right’ price is no simple task. This paper uses an exploratory factor analysis to isolate farmers’ motivations towards farming. A binary logit regression is then used to examine the relationship between motivation, household, and farmer characteristics and willingness to pay for improved irrigation services. Findings from this study suggest that a ‘one size fits all’ approach faces remote prospects of success and better targeting of reform effort is warranted.

Title: Impact of hydropower dam development on agriculturally based livelihoods of resettled communities: a case study of Duong Hoa Commune in central Vietnam
Abstract: 
 Dam development is widespread in central Vietnam. Interviews were conducted with households that had been resettled and those that had not to determine the type of agricultural livelihoods that were re-established nine years after resettlement due to the Ta Trach reservoir project. Results showed that resettled households, despite having more forest land, were economically worse off compared with households that were not moved. This discrepancy between households was attributed to less arable land allocated to resettled households. The provision of good-quality land, able to grow crops and food trees, was essential if households were to re-establish a comparable agriculturally based livelihood.

Title: Water conservation under scarcity conditions: testing the long-run effectiveness of a water conservation awareness campaign in Jordan
Abstract: 
 This study measures the long-run effect of the Abu Tawfeer media campaign in Jordan. Based on a representative sample (N = 367) conducted five years after the end of the campaign, a multivariate instrumental variable regression analysis shows that the campaign only marginally changed people’s water conservation awareness and behaviour. The rigorous methodological approach allows disentangling the distinct channels through which the effect of the conservation campaign was transmitted. Moreover, this is one of the first studies that comprehensively examines the role of awareness in determining water conservation behaviour.

Title: Managing Urban Rivers and Water Quality in Malaysia for Sustainable Water Resources
Abstract: Rivers are rich ecosystems and sources of life, providing many functions for the survival of natural and human systems. In Malaysia, due to poor management and public apathy, they are severely degraded. Rapid development and urbanization have also overstressed and polluted them, and governance practices are mostly focused on managing water shortages, floods, and pollution. Limitations include low priority in the political agenda, inadequate economic, managerial, and human resources, poor enforcement of laws and regulations, poor public involvement, and inadequate use of non-structural measures. Recent government, private sector, and NGO partnerships, however, have shown great potential for improved management of rivers.

Title: Economic Incentives Can Enhance Policy Efforts to Improve Water Quality in Asia
Abstract: This article describes the conceptual advantages of including economic incentives in the basket of policy alternatives available for motivating improvements in water quality. With a particular focus on Asia, we discuss the incentives available for encouraging reductions in point and nonpoint source pollutants in urban, rural, and peri-urban settings. Several countries in Asia are implementing some form of economic incentives, either directly, in the form of effluent taxes or subsidies, or in combination with regulatory measures that help to ensure water quality standards are achieved. We also describe the importance of institutional capacity and political will in support of economic incentives, and the increasing usefulness of incentive programmes as economies develop and expand. The discussion includes several examples of programmes in China and Thailand, along with observations from India, Japan, Korea, and the Philippines.

Title: Improving Groundwater Quality Management for the Sustainable Utilization of the Bangkok Aquifer System
Abstract: Several measures have been implemented to address the negative environmental consequences brought about by the overexploitation of groundwater resources in the Bangkok Aquifer System. However, such measures were mainly directed to quantity issues such as resource depletion and land subsidence, whereas quality aspects seem to have been given less attention. Given that quality deterioration, mainly chloride contamination, has affected groundwater users, this article evaluates current groundwater quality management practices in the Bangkok Metropolitan Region, points out the challenges, and provides some specific recommendations for the sustainable utilization of the valuable resource.

Title: An Overview of Policies Impacting Water Quality and Governance in India
Abstract: Water is one of the most crucial elements in developmental planning of India for the 21st century. The growth of urban megalopolises, increased industrial activity and dependence of the agricultural sector on chemicals and fertilizers has resulted in the overcharging of the carrying capacity of the water bodies to assimilate and decompose wastes. Several ambitious legal and institutional measures and projects like the Water Pollution Act, Pollution Control Boards, and the National River Action Plan have yielded no significant results. There is a need to bring about a perceivable shift in philosophy and address water problems to meet the demands of a growing population by improving efficiency, prioritizing the water demand sector-wise, and adopting policies and practices that check resource degradation.

Title: Exploring the Boundaries of Water Quality Management in Asia
Abstract: Beginning with the case of iodine-131 detection in Tokyo's water supply in March 2011, this paper explores the boundaries of water quality management, with focus on Asian cities. Boundaries include those of definition, of measurement, of the significance of measurements, of public perceptions and trust, of disjunctures between human and natural systems, of dis-integrated water resources management, and of social and political marginality. Delineating these boundaries, most of them well known, is not a call for inaction or despair, but for clarity and recognition of the difficult road ahead.

Title: An Integrated Management Approach for Water Quality and Quantity: Case Studies in North China
Abstract: This paper presents a systematic concept of integrated water resources quantity and quality assessment and develops a new approach to assess available water resources for water quality management. The method considers not only environmental flow demand in a river system but also water quality objectives as determined by water service function regionalization in the river. The method was applied in North China in basins with different conditions. The results show that this integrated assessment approach provides useful information for decision making concerning allocation of available water resources under the water quality and environmental flow constraints, indicating the need to reduce wastewater loads to reach specific water quality standards.

Title: Nutrient Balance Assessment in the Mekong Basin: Nitrogen and Phosphorus Dynamics in a Catchment Scale
Abstract: Tropical regions are typically rather poorly covered by nutrient enrichment information, despite th eir soaring population, urbanization, industrialization, and intensifying agriculture. We provide an overview of nutrient fluxes and their temporal and spatial patterns in the Mekong River for 1985–2005. Total inorganic nitrogen fluxes increased significantly, while phosphorus fluxes increased less steeply. The majority of fluxes originated from agricultural and from forest and shrubland areas. Although the Mekong is not yet facing severe water quality problems, the concurrent rapid development can be expected to accelerate nutrient enrichment. There is thus an urgent need to improve water quality monitoring and pollution control measures, and to give water quality issues more weight at the policy level.

Title: Water Quality Management in China
Abstract: This paper analyzes water quality management in China in terms of legislation, institutions, and management instruments, and provides suggestions on improving the system. China has developed a separate, sectoral water quality management system where instruments including standards, function zones, permits, and charges are extensively applied. Nevertheless, problems such as lack of integrated frameworks, overlapping functions, focus on pollution control, poor implementation, and inadequate capacity limit its effectiveness. China should fully implement and reform the current system, restructure water quality management institutions, manage its water resources in a river basin context, and encourage market-based approaches.

Title: Water Quality: Assessment of the Current Situation in Asia
Abstract: The uncontrolled release of sewage, industrial wastes, and agricultural run-off continue to affect Asia. Although many Asian countries are getting closer to meeting the improved sanitation targets, much of the waste remains untreated. Comprehensive databases are rarely available and national data indicate that the water quality situation is serious. However, there are many signs of hope. Water quality monitoring efforts are improving and several countries now have systems in place that could guide other nations in the region. The efforts of basin agencies, such as the Mekong River Commission, could lead the way to transboundary or even regional assessments. Many regulatory and economic options are being tested for pollution control, but institutional and social challenges remain, in particular those related to population growth and the various ways in which it is affecting water quality across the region.

Title: Institutional Capacity on Water Pollution Control of the Pearl River in Guangzhou, China
Abstract: This paper analyzes the role of the prevalent formal and informal institutions in Guangzhou in alleviating deteriorating water quality in the Pearl River. In addition to the dominating role of the local government, it examines the influences of other relevant factors such as the role of environmental non-governmental organizations, the media, and the impact of social and cultural norms. It concludes that the current institutional framework is not sufficiently competent to handle water pollution problems and that a multi-dimensional and cross-sectoral approach is necessary for water pollution control in the Pearl River in Guangzhou.

Title: Emerging Contaminants and the Implications for Drinking Water
Abstract: Advancements in sensitive analytical methods now give scientists the ability to detect trace amounts of chemicals in our water sources and drinking water supplies. As a result, recent studies are revealing the presence of pharmaceuticals, personal care products, fire retardants, nanomaterials, and other substances we use at home and at work. These substances are commonly referred to as “emerging contaminants”. However, the consequences, if any, of exposure to these compounds and their mixtures at low levels is still far from clear. This article gives an overview on a topic that has attracted much media attention and attempts to suggest how the scientific community should handle the knowledge gap. This article is dedicated to the memory of Laura Fawell.

Title: A long-term evaluation of families affected by the Bili-Bili Dam development resettlement project in South Sulawesi, Indonesia
Abstract: A series of surveys and interviews were conducted with families relocated from the site of the Bili-Bili Dam project in South Sulawesi, Indonesia, to remote transmigration areas in the same province. At the time of the survey, all families had received their full amount of cash compensation for relocation. In addition, they had been given an opportunity to join the Transmigration Programme (TP) to receive land and houses for free; however, many suffered from hardships and their strong attachment to their homeland forced them to return. The results of this survey show that families who joined the TP did in fact use their compensation money to purchase small pieces of land and homes close to their original village. Those who were successful and saved money while living in TP areas, as well as those who sold their land in the TP areas, mostly returned to the dam vicinity and were able to purchase land and homes in that area. It is therefore concluded that this resettlement scheme was successful.

Title: Long-term perceptions of project-affected persons: a case study of the Kotmale Dam in Sri Lanka
Abstract: Many of the negative consequences of dam-related involuntary displacement of affected communities can be overcome by careful planning and by providing resettlers with adequate compensation. In this paper the resettlement scheme of the Kotmale Dam in Sri Lanka is revisited, focusing on resettlers' positive perceptions. Displaced communities expressed satisfaction when income levels and stability were higher in addition to their having access to land ownership titles, good irrigation infrastructure, water, and more opportunities for their children. However, harsh climate conditions, increased incidence of diseases and human–wildlife conflicts caused much discomfort among resettlers. Diversification away from paddy farming to other agricultural activities and providing legal land titles would have allowed them to gain more from resettlement compensation.

Title: Atatürk Dam resettlement process: increased disparity resulting from insufficient financial compensation
Abstract: A survey of 99 resettled families displaced by construction of the Atatürk Dam in Turkey revealed that only a few of the families agreed to the resettlement plan and most of them resettled reluctantly. The compensation for this displacement was primarily monetary; however, the actual amount of the compensation did not reflect the market price of the land and most of the families presently own less land than they did prior to the resettlement. This resettlement adversely affected those who owned small parcels of land in particular, as many have stopped farming and are presently working as labourers or crop sharers. Many who owned large parcels of land were able to continue farming. The insufficient compensation offered by this project widened the disparity between these two groups.

Title: The long-term implications of compensation schemes for community rehabilitation: the Kusaki and Sameura dam projects in Japan
Abstract: Very few studies have been conducted to analyze the long-term consequences of large infrastructure development on community rehabilitation. This study reviews the Kusaki and Sameura dam projects in Japan, which were carried out in the 1970s. This research attempted to identify factors in the compensation schemes and resettlement negotiations of these projects that affected long-term community rehabilitation and individual resettlement. The lessons learned from this study will provide valuable knowledge for developing countries where large infrastructure development has been vigorously undertaken.

Title: The livelihood reconstruction of resettlers from the Nam Ngum 1 hydropower project in Laos
Abstract: The Nam Ngum 1 hydropower project took place in the early 1970s and displaced about 23 villages and 570 households. This research focuses on two resettlement villages: Pakcheng and Phonhang. A comparison is made concerning the livelihood conditions of these two villages, resettled in 1968 and 1977, respectively. The methodology involved consultation meetings in each village and one-on-one interviews of 100 households (50 households per village). This case study has determined that in terms of family income for these two villages, Pakcheng is significantly more affluent than Phonhang. This is probably because Pakcheng is located along a main road and has far better facilities and irrigation systems.

Title: Livelihood status of resettlers affected by the Saguling Dam project, 25 years after inundation
Abstract: A study of the effects of the Saguling Dam project has been conducted. This paper attempts to examine the long-term effects of the dam construction on the livelihoods of the displaced people, paying special attention to any effects caused by inequality of access to resettlement schemes. The study results indicate that the majority of the resettlers perceived their livelihoods as being better after their resettlement. However, loss of jobs or conversion to less preferable or beneficial occupations caused by the project has affected their satisfaction level. In addition, inequality of access to options of the resettlement scheme has caused differences in socio-economic status among the resettlers. Furthermore, in the long term, the option has also failed to indemnify resettlers from lost livelihoods due to environmental and socio-economic constraints. For future resettlement programmes, the authors propose that policy makers should employ analysis instruments which can precisely predict long-run impacts, while local backgrounds and dynamics are important to be considered to secure the success of resettlement programmes.

Title: Reconstruction of the livelihood of resettlers from the Nam Theun 2 hydropower project in Laos
Abstract: The Nam Theun 2 (NT2) hydropower project displaced 6738 people from 17 villages and 1298 households. This research focuses on four resettlement villages. Household interviews were conducted to learn more about variations in living conditions, traditions and culture in the villages that were relocated independently compared to villages in which relocation had merged older villages together. The case study suggests that most resettlers wanted to remain exclusively with their own village members. However, it was impossible for every village to have its own resettlement location given the scarcity of the land and resources in the resettlement areas. As a result, some villages were merged with other villages in the newly developed resettlement villages. On a different note, the NT2 project provided superior compensation for the resettlers when compared with other similar projects in Laos. However, the NT2 project had insufficient land resources to satisfy the agricultural needs of the resettlers and thus created a situation where the livelihood of the villages will not be sustainable when the project concludes its support for the resettlers.

Title: Resettlement and development: a survey of two of Indonesia's Koto Panjang resettlement villages
Abstract: Construction of the Koto Panjang Dam was initiated in response to the rapidly increasing demand for electricity in the central region of Sumatra, Indonesia. The process of resettling the villages affected by this construction lasted from 1991 to 2000. The economic factors related to this resettlement programme include monetary compensation, productive capacity, and appropriate distribution of income. Better-off villages (such as those where a rubber plantation was found) received a higher level of compensation and used this compensation to purchase productive assets. Increasing the level of a family's income generates better income distribution and a lower level of poverty, whereas decreasing it creates worse income distribution and a higher level of poverty. The presence of productive capacity is necessary to guarantee the success of an involuntary resettlement programme that attempts to improve the standard of living for displaced peoples.

Title: The long-term impacts of resettlement programmes resulting from dam construction projects in Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Sri Lanka and Turkey: a comparison of land-for-land and cash compensation schemes
Abstract: Post-project household surveys were conducted regarding 10 resettlement programmes resulting from dam construction projects in Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Sri Lanka and Turkey. In all cases the resettlement was completed at least 20 years ago, except for one case in Laos. Six of the programmes adopted a cash compensation scheme and the other four were based on a land-for-land compensation scheme. While the World Bank and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development prefer land-for-land compensation, there was no significant difference observed concerning the effectiveness of the two compensation schemes. Cash compensation demonstrated a small advantage for farmers who wanted to change their occupation; for those who hope to move into an urban area to secure a better livelihood, cash compensation could be a better option.

Title: The resettlement programme of the Wonorejo Dam project in Tulungagung, Indonesia: the perceptions of former residents
Abstract: The Wonorejo Dam project involuntarily relocated many families from the dam site. These resettled individuals opted to move into surrounding villages rather than to follow the transmigration scheme put in place that would have taken them beyond Java Island. Although the former residents were moved involuntarily, many of them are found to be content with their current situation and conditions. The findings of this study may help appropriate authorities enhance their social responsibility and evaluate their respective resettlement programmes.

Title: Updating the Register of International River Basins of the world
Abstract: 
 The delineation of the world’s international river basins has not been undertaken by any formal body since 1978. Researchers with the Transboundary Freshwater Dispute Database have attempted to fill this void through the 1999 Register, with online updates and currently with the present study. This current register delineates 310 international river basins, reflecting changes in political boundaries and increased data quality. These basins are shared by 150 countries and disputed areas, cover 47.1% of the Earth’s land surface and include 52% of the world’s population. This paper lists all international river systems, their basin areas, their riparian states and their respective territorial percentages.

Title: Institutional arrangements for water governance
Abstract: 
 Institutional arrangements shape water-related decision making and water policies, and drive behaviours related to water sharing and use. It is therefore crucial that water researchers, policy makers and managers understand institutions. This article reviews and critically assesses the current knowledge of water-related institutional arrangements. It explains how researchers explore institutional structures, emergence and change. It details how institutions are considered as a response to social-environmental issues through design, fit and bricolage. The article concludes with the most promising topics for the future scientific agenda.

Title: The social construction and consequences of groundwater modelling: insight from the Mancha Oriental aquifer, Spain
Abstract: 
 Groundwater flow models have been increasingly used to support policy making. A substantial amount of research has been dedicated to improving, validating and calibrating models and including stakeholders in the modelling process. However, little research has been done to analyze how the choices of model makers and steering by policy makers result in models with specific characteristics, which only allow specific modelling outcomes, and how the use of these modelling outcomes leads to specific social, economic and environmental consequences. In this study, we use the social construction of technology framework to explore the development, characteristics and uses of the groundwater model of the Mancha Oriental aquifer in Spain. The specific characteristics and functioning of this model influenced the policy implementation, implying that involving stakeholders in the development and use of models is crucial for improved democratic policy making.

Title: Conciliation of competing uses and stakeholder rights to groundwater: an evaluation of Fuencaliente Aquifer (Spain)
Abstract: 
 This article evaluates economic use values of groundwater and examines the trade-offs between agricultural and recreational uses of the Fuencaliente Aquifer in southern Spain. This case study is an example of the relevance of the non-market values of groundwater resources in achieving more sustainable management of groundwater resources, an issue on which there is still scarce evidence in the literature. The revealed preference of stakeholders associated with the current resource allocation (as defined by the agreed aquifer management plan) can be explained by the consideration of option values and economic non-use values (cultural and historical).

Title: Understanding the effectiveness of investments in irrigation system modernization: evidence from Madhya Pradesh, India
Abstract: 
 Investments in modernizing irrigation infrastructure are key to enhance water security for agriculture. However, outcomes of investments are insufficiently understood, limiting the future design of interventions. This article applies a fixed effects regression model to test whether modernization of irrigation systems in Madhya Pradesh leads to improvements in district-level yields and protection of yields against sub-basin rainfall variability. Findings suggest that investments fail to improve yields in districts with deficient rainfall and fail to buffer crops against monsoon variability, compared to control districts with no investments. Interventions should be designed to respond to the complexities of sub-basin rainfall variability.

Title: Cost–benefit analysis of full and partial river restoration: the Kishon River in Israel
Abstract: 
 Restoration of rivers is important because they provide many ecosystem services. However, full restoration is costly, and with limited resources, the priority of the different elements of a restoration plan needs to be considered. In this article the benefits of separable restoration components were analyzed for the Kishon River in Israel. The proposed restoration plan contained four segments: riverbed cleaning, ecological restoration, accessibility, and sports facilities. We used non-market valuation to estimate benefits and found the full restoration programme to pass the cost–benefit test, but partial restoration to be more efficient. Based on these conclusions, different funding alternatives are discussed.

Title: What can explain groundwater rejuvenation in Gujarat in recent years?
Abstract: 
 The groundwater build-up in recent years in Gujarat state of western India, which has been known for aquifer exploitation for many decades, had caught the attention of researchers worldwide. This article analyses the various parameters that can influence groundwater behaviour and argues that the recent water level rise in the region is due to large-scale import of surface water from the Sardar Sarovar project for irrigation along with greater rainfall. The earlier works argued that the improvement in groundwater condition is because of the massive, government-sponsored water harvesting work and the introduction of a policy to restrict power supply for well irrigation.

Title: Does 91% of the world’s population really have “sustainable access to safe drinking water”?
Abstract: 
 Halving the number of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water was a core target of the Millennium Development Goals. This led to an unprecedented effort in the water sector, improving the livelihoods of millions of people. While the goal has officially been accomplished, unsuitable benchmarks have led to overstatement of the results. Indicators overemphasize improved water sources, disregarding the fact that many continue to be contaminated, unreliable or unaffordable. The alleged success needs to be reframed to avoid confusion, prevent investments from being reallocated away from the water sector and obtain more accurate estimates of water access.

Title: Has water-saving irrigation recovered groundwater in the Hebei Province plains of China?
Abstract: 
 This study performed a quantitative evaluation of the impact of water-saving irrigation on the groundwater regime in the Hebei Province plains area. In this work, the change in groundwater regime and the contributions of precipitation and water-saving irrigation development were investigated. The results indicate that the groundwater overdraft has been mitigated to some extent, mainly due to changes in precipitation and the implementation of water-saving irrigation, with contributions of 64.3% and 35.7%, respectively, when considering only these two factors. Water-saving irrigation is accepted as an important means for reducing groundwater depletion, but should be used in conjunction with other measures.

Title: Unpacking water conflicts: a reinterpretation of coordination problems in China’s water-governance system
Abstract: 
 In China, water conflicts have been traditionally framed as the external costs of economic development and tackled with technocratic measures. This study examines water conflicts through the lens of water diversion, water allocation and water functional zoning. It reframes water conflicts as a result of coordination problems nested in complex inter-jurisdictional interactions. With a game-theoretic illustration, it identifies that individual and group heterogeneities are two challenges to effective coordination. It argues that China’s state-centric water institutions are tailored to optimize overall social utilities, yet they constrain coordination due to insufficient costs and benefits redistribution mechanisms at the local level.

Title: From implementation towards maintenance: sustaining collaborative initiatives for integrated floodplain management in the Netherlands
Abstract: 
 Collaborative governance has been introduced in the planning and implementation phases of river management, but has not yet reached the maintenance phase. In anticipation of this, this article explores how stakeholders shape collaborative initiatives aimed at maintaining multifunctional floodplains by analyzing their framing of collaboration objectives and membership structures. The case study shows that participants envisioned a shared governance structure, while no consensus was attained on the underlying collaborative objectives. Moreover, the envisioned structure revealed a tendency towards separation instead of integration, because participants abandoned the idea of public–private collaboration, which had previously been adopted in the planning and implementation phases.

Title: Interactions between citizen responsibilization, flood experience and household resilience: insights from the 2013 flood in Germany
Abstract: 
 As increasing emphasis is placed on the importance of citizens’ taking responsibility for their own preparedness and protection against flooding, it is important to understand the relationship between responsibility and action and how current practices of responsibilization influence household resilience. Based on a survey of 889 households affected by flooding in 2013 in the states of Saxony and Bavaria, Germany, this study investigates the relationship between action and flood experience and how this experience influences whether citizens feel responsible, and therefore the likelihood that they will take action in the future. These findings have implications for household resilience as well as future research.

Title: Resettlement for the Danjiangkou Dam heightening project in China: planning, implementation and effects
Abstract: 
 This article examines the planning, implementation and effects of resettlement for the Danjiangkou Dam Heightening Project. In the process of planning, the local government took full account of the long-term development of resettlers. In the process of implementation, resettlers could obtain compensation, subsidy, follow-up support and counterpart support. Their living and production conditions greatly improved after resettlement. The following factors contributed to successful resettlement: a development model of industry supporting agriculture; commitment of the central government; adequate funding; sound organizational systems; efficient government management mechanisms at various levels; and the favourable geographical location of the resettlement site.

Title: Groundwater use and policy options for sustainable management in Southern Iraq
Abstract: 
 An important challenge facing the design of sustainable aquifer management plans is weak primary data on aquifer recharge and use patterns. Weak data limit the ability of policy makers to design efficient aquifer protection plans. The objectives of this article are (1) to estimate groundwater use patterns for an important food-producing region of southern Iraq, the Bahr Al-Najaf Basin; (2) to compare groundwater use patterns with the renewable groundwater supply; and (3) to describe a sustainable groundwater policy alternative to current use patterns. For this study, original data on groundwater pumping were secured for 2006–2011. The data show a pattern of unsustainable groundwater withdrawals. A policy intervention is described in which pumping permits could be assigned to groundwater users to promote sustainable use. Allowing or encouraging the permits to be transferable through trading to higher-valued uses could reduce the economic costs of protecting the aquifer while promoting its sustainable use.

Title: Mapping water poverty in Africa using the improved Multidimensional Index of Water Poverty
Abstract: 
 This article details the application of the improved Multidimensional Index of Water Poverty, which associates human economic welfare with physical water availability to point out the degree to which water scarcity impacts African populations. The index and its components vary widely across the African continent, suggesting the need for location-specific policy interventions. These findings highlight more specifically a significant disparity in water poverty between more developed but water-scarce countries, located mainly in northern and southern Africa, and water-rich but lower-income countries in sub-Saharan Africa.

Title: Water management in India: the multiplicity of views and solutions
Abstract: 
 There is very limited scientific evidence to support some of the ideas in the water sector that guide India’s government policies in these sectors. Further, the interdisciplinary perspective required for the design of economic instruments, institutions, and laws and regulations to implement existing policies is lacking in social scientists. This article discusses the growing debate on water management options for India, the tone and tenor of policy debate and the inconsistency. It summarizes 10 scholarly articles from various authors which reflect the multiplicity of views on water issues and solutions for water management in the country.

Title: Water resources development in India
Abstract: 
 India, an ancient rural and agricultural society that is rapidly modernizing, receives a fair share of its yearly precipitation in only a few days of the monsoon, with high inter-annual variability. In most of its regions, therefore, India needs to store a large proportion of its annual runoff in reservoirs for use in non-monsoon months. In spite of this strategy being in operation for the last 60 years, India’s per capita reservoir storage is relatively small, and water-use efficiency also remains low. Though the overall performance of the water sector in terms of matching of supply and demand has improved, the country remains challenged by deficiencies in laws, regulation policies and institutions, and weakened by a suboptimal work culture in politics, legislature, technocracy and non-governmental organizations (NGOs).

Title: India’s water management debate: is the ‘civil society’ making it everlasting?
Abstract: 
 This article discusses the bias of the growing constituency of civil society activists in India against conventional water management solutions implemented by the government, and the ‘alternatives’ they champion, which force the government to enter into an endless debate with these groups. The article goes into the fundamental reasons for this bias, and identifies four types of civil society activist: ‘professional’, ‘ideologue’, ‘romantic’ and ‘doomsday prophet’. The article also argues that water bureaucracies in India should adopt evidence-based policy making, subjecting the ‘alternatives’ to the same degree of scrutiny as the conventional ones, to end the policy dilemma, while enhancing the overall quality of design, execution and management of projects for better outcomes.

Title: Proposing a solution to India’s water crisis: ‘paradigm shift’ or pushing outdated concepts?
Abstract: 
 This article is a critique of the report of the committee chaired by Dr Mihir Shah on restructuring the Central Water Commission and Central Ground Water Board of India. It shows that the recommendations of the committee are not based on any sound understanding of the federal nature of water administration in India, water-sector performance or the problems confronting it. The ‘paradigm shift’ in the suggested approach to water management is based on flawed analysis of the performance of surface irrigation systems and outdated concepts of irrigation efficiency, and reflects the professional bias of its members against large water infrastructure and wishful thinking about what schemes like aquifer mapping can achieve.

Title: Water transfer from irrigation tanks for urban use: can payment for ecosystem services produce efficient outcomes?
Abstract: 
 Many Indian states have begun to transfer water meant for irrigation to non-agricultural purposes, but the economic and environmental consequences are not adequately understood. Transfer of water out of water bodies from rural areas not only reduces the economic welfare of the traditional water users but also reduces their incentives to manage these water bodies on a sustainable basis. The study explores the possibility of introducing the mechanism of ‘payment for ecosystem services’ at the grass-roots level in the Indian context as a return for reallocation of water from irrigation to urban uses so that it can produce a non-zero-sum outcome for villagers, farmers, urban consumers and governments.

Title: The negative impact of subsidies on the adoption of drip irrigation in India: evidence from Madhya Pradesh
Abstract: 
 Drip irrigation in India has expanded slowly. One reason cited is the high capital costs facing the smallholder-dominated agricultural sector. Governments have provided capital subsidies in response. This study finds that, rather than improving access to drip, the subsidy system holds the technology back, because its technical requirements, highly bureaucratic processes and pricing incentives turn many drip providers into rent-seeking agents rather than service providers to farmers, leading to price increases of 40% or more. If capital costs are truly the constraint on drip expansion in India, alternative models to address them are available.

Title: Managing water-related risks in the West Bengal Sundarbans: policy alternatives and institutions
Abstract: 
 Persistent pressures from water-related threats – sea-level rise, soil and water salinization, and flooding due to embankment overtopping and failure – have made the West Bengal Sundarbans a challenging place to live, and effects of global climate change will only worsen conditions. Four alternative policy directions are examined: business as usual; intensive rural development; short-term out-migration of residents; and embankment realignment and facilitation of voluntary, permanent out-migration. The last of these is the recommended approach. Study findings have informed ongoing deliberations to build consensus on future policy directions for reducing the region’s vulnerability to natural disasters.

Title: Techno-institutional models for managing water quality in rural areas: case studies from Andhra Pradesh, India
Abstract: 
 This article examines the rationale, technologies, economics and institutional modalities in water quality management operations to draw lessons for designing policies for sustainable service delivery at scale. While the rationale for providing potable drinking water at affordable prices is clear, their economic viability is weak given their present scale of operations. There is a need for institutional safeguards for selection of deserving villages and water quality monitoring. It is argued that public–private–community partnerships are economically viable and sustainable. Adopting appropriate technologies could help with addressing the water quality issues in a more comprehensive manner.

Title: Financial performance of India’s irrigation sector: a historical analysis
Abstract: 
 India’s public irrigation sector is one of the largest in the world in terms of number of large reservoirs, total storage capacity and irrigated area. But poor financial performance has been threatening its sustainability. Hence, many changes have been introduced in the area of water pricing over the years. But studies that focus on the issue of financial recovery are scanty. Analysis presented in the article shows that despite a substantial increase in area under irrigation, there has been a consistent decline in revenue generated from irrigation fee collection across states. The recovery rate of irrigation fees has been better in less developed states than in more developed states.

Title: Solarizing groundwater irrigation in India: a growing debate
Abstract: 
 India is on a path to reduce its carbon emission intensity with a major thrust on increasing the grid-connected solar photovoltaic capacity. However, the carbon footprint in agriculture is on the rise. Heavy subsidies for electricity and diesel to pump groundwater for irrigated agriculture, combined with lack of regulations on water withdrawal, are resulting in both groundwater over-exploitation and increased carbon emissions. Some researchers and practitioners have suggested large-scale promotion of solar pumps for well irrigation as a way to make agricultural growth carbon-neutral and groundwater use in farming sustainable. This article examines whether solar pumps for groundwater irrigation are technically feasible and economically viable in India.

Title: Role of economic instruments in water allocation reform: lessons from Europe
Abstract: 
 A growing number of countries are reforming their water allocation regimes through the use of economic instruments. This article analyzes the performance of economic instruments in water allocation reforms compared against their original design objectives in five European countries: England, France, Italy, Spain and the Netherlands. We identify the strengths of, barriers to and unintended consequences of economic instruments in the varying socio-economic, legal, institutional and biophysical context in each case study area, and use this evidence to draw out underlying common guidelines and recommendations. These lessons will help improve the effectiveness of future reforms while supporting more efficient water resources allocation.

Title: Groundwater regulation in case of overdraft: national groundwater policy implementation in north-west China
Abstract: 
 This article analyzes why China&#x2019;s national groundwater policy is implemented in a fragmented way. The question is addressed through a comparative case-study analysis of groundwater management in north-west China. The analysis focuses on the institutional context in which local government agencies responsible for groundwater management operate. It was found that direct pressure from the central government promotes policy implementation. Yet, the distribution of surface and groundwater management responsibilities over different government agencies also influences the importance attached to groundwater regulation. In a conjunctive-use setting the integration of surface water and groundwater management facilitates effective groundwater regulation.

Title: State, market or community failure? Untangling the determinants of groundwater depletion in Copiap&#xF3; (Chile)
Abstract: 
 This article analyzes the factors that explain why groundwater can be over-exploited despite the existence of sophisticated water laws, institutions and effective state agencies responsible for water management. The analysis is based on a case study conducted in the Copiap&#xF3; Valley in northern Chile. Based on an analysis of water use data, policy documents and interviews with a variety of stakeholders, the article highlights the state&#x2019;s failure to perform some of its key missions and the ineffectiveness of groundwater users&#x2019; associations in water management despite a very supportive legal framework. The article concludes with some recommendations on how ensure long-term sustainable groundwater use.

Title: Making space for women: civil society organizations, gender and hydropower development in the Mekong region
Abstract: 
 Large-scale hydropower development disrupts local livelihoods and resource access. Adverse impacts are often greater for women than men, but also large for children, the elderly, poorer households and ethnic minorities. Burdens of resettlement often fall disproportionately on already disadvantaged individuals. The purpose of this study was to evaluate how international, national and local civil society organizations (CSOs) have addressed gender in hydropower development in the Mekong Region. Four CSO orientations are distinguished: communitarian, environmentalist, knowledge-based and feminist. Common activities of CSOs were to share information, to expand participation and to mobilize development. The extent to which these activities were promoted and appear to be making space for women depended on the types of CSOs and women and men targeted or otherwise involved.

Title: Adaptive co-management in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta: examining the interface between flood management and adaptation
Abstract: 
 The rural landscapes of the Vietnamese Mekong Delta have undergone a dramatic change, where flood management and adaptation are at the forefront. This article investigates how these synergies facilitate policy change. Drawing on qualitative information from the literature, focus group discussions, and interviews, the article argues that there are confrontational but complementary effects between them, which evolve towards adaptive co-management. Collaborative learning between local governments and farmers enables shared understanding of water management drawbacks, leading to policy change. The article recommends that more attention be given to this approach to guide strategic water policy development in the region.

Title: JICA&#x2019;s policies, experiences and lessons learned on impacts of urban floods in Asia
Abstract: 
 This article describes the assistance policies of the Japan International Cooperation Agency in line with the international trend in disaster risk reduction. Through domestic experience, Japan has learnt that disaster risk reduction through structural measures and scientific and evidence-based assessment is indispensable for resilience, poverty reduction and sustainable development. Risk literacy, redundancy and continuous adaptation to situational changes are also important. In case studies of internationally known floods in Manila (2009) and Bangkok (2011), JICA gained confidence that its assistance policies are valid. The knowledge and experience of Japan and JICA have led the evolving global trend in disaster risk reduction.

Title: Nouns and Numbers of the Water–Energy–Security Nexus in Central Asia
Abstract: Water, energy, and security form a complicated nexus in Central Asia, where domestic, regional, and international interests intertwine in numerous ways. A relatively large amount of literature exists on these three issues, either separately or in different combinations, yet it is difficult to see how the three intertwine and what their macro-level impacts might be on sustainable development, security, and the five Central Asian countries. This paper aims to understand what constitutes the water–energy–security nexus in Central Asia on the basis of definitions, indicators, and data. The nexus is also examined in the context of the broader global political economy, and gaps in current knowledge and suggestions for future research are pointed out.

Title: Regional Options for Addressing the Water, Energy and Food Nexus in Central Asia and the Aral Sea Basin
Abstract: This article explores the water, energy and food nexus in Central Asia as an avenue to seek regional solutions to common challenges. A benefit-sharing scheme was in place between the countries in the Central Asia in the Soviet Union era, but since independence unilateral action has been the norm. It is concluded that a regional integrative approach would be beneficial in the water, energy and food nexus. Collaborative options include exploring existing regional frameworks with a focus on additional investment in hydropower power generation, regional power market development, irrigation reforms, and addressing regional environmental public goods such as water flows and quality.

Title: The Major Central Asian River Basins: An Assessment of Vulnerability
Abstract: Central Asia's hydrological systems and environment have undergone incomparable changes during recent decades. By using various geospatial and national databases, the socio-economic-environmental vulnerability of the region's major river basins with regard to stress factors related to governance, economy, social issues, environment, hazards, and water scarcity was assessed. A vulnerability profile for each basin was produced and compared with those of the Asia-Pacific's 10 major river basins. Each of the factors appeared quite important for the overall vulnerability. It is thus crucial to focus attention holistically on all the analyzed sectors when trying to solve the challenges in Central Asian waters.

Title: The Role of Virtual Water Flows in Physical Water Scarcity: The Case of Central Asia
Abstract: Water scarcity in Central Asia was analyzed by using two water scarcity indices at the scale of sub-basin areas (SBAs): water stress index (consumption-to-availability ratio) and water shortage index (water availability per capita). These indices were calculated for a baseline scenario that included virtual water flows, and again for a scenario where international trade was eliminated, thus assessing the role of virtual water flows in water scarcity. Over 80% of the study area population suffers from water stress and approximately 50% from water shortage as well. Removing virtual water flows considerably decreased water scarcity for approximately half the population. Reducing the exports of water-intensive products could thus be an option, along with other more traditional measures, for alleviating water scarcity in Central Asia.

Title: Principles of Transboundary Water Resources Management and Water-related Agreements in Central Asia: An Analysis
Abstract: This paper analyzes the use of transboundary water resources management principles in two key regional water-related agreements in Central Asia: the Agreement on Cooperation in Joint Management, Use and Protection of Interstate Sources of Water Resources (1992) and the Statute of the Interstate Commission for Water Coordination of Central Asia (2008). These agreements incorporate several internationally recognized transboundary water resources management principles, though there are also some weaknesses. The presence of such principles in these regional agreements offers plenty of hope for the promotion of sustainable water resources management in Central Asia.

Title: A Programme Theory Approach in Measuring Impacts of Irrigation Management Transfer Interventions: The Case of Central Asia
Abstract: Irrigation management transfer (IMT) reforms in most transition economies of Central Asia have largely relied on the funding and expertise of multiple international aid providers. Such reforms are aimed at the establishment of water users associations; however, progress has remained slow and patchy due to poor aid coordination and poor knowledge regarding what works and what does not. This paper argues that a sector-wide impact study is needed to better inform and consolidate local IMT reform. Placing the discourse within the larger domain of evaluation research, this article looks into the approaches, tools, and practical implications of such an impact study.

Title: Meso-level Cooperation on Transboundary Tributaries and Infrastructure in the Ferghana Valley
Abstract: The river basin management approach in the Syr Darya basin fragmented after the disintegration of the Soviet Union. However, this approach had already created dependencies between riparian states, such as transboundary water control infrastructure. At the national level, these states hardly cooperate, but at the province and district level, especially in the Ferghana Valley, which is shared by Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan, cooperation continues. This paper analyzes transboundary cooperation in the Ferghana Valley. On the periphery, conflict and cooperation still take place on both water management infrastructure and water sharing. The greatest hindrance to cooperation—border control—is outside the realm of water management, but is key given the property rights to water management infrastructure in the neighbouring riparian states.

Title: Is It Possible to Shift to Hydrological Boundaries? The Ferghana Valley Meshed System
Abstract: The management of water resources according to hydrological boundaries at different implementation levels (river basin, irrigation system, or water user association) is promoted internationally. This approach to water management, especially for the basin, is starting to be challenged from different perspectives: representation within basins, appropriateness for basins in the south, and the challenges of merging boundaries for surface and groundwater sources. It has been challenged only recently in relation to its appropriateness for indigenously constructed (informal) irrigation systems. To these critiques, this paper adds the historical development and originally intended purpose of engineered irrigation systems and therefore calls into question whether it is always possible to introduce hydrological boundary management in the formal systems in Central Asia.

Title: Water Quantity and Quality in the Zerafshan River Basin: Only an Upstream Riparian Problem?
Abstract: In discussing the 1997 UN Watercourses Convention, McCaffrey (1998) gave a theoretical example of the late-developer problem. This paper complements that theoretical example with a real case study of the Zerafshan basin in Central Asia. While McCaffrey addressed the water quantity issue in his example, the focus here also includes water pollution. The aim of the paper is to analyze some of the provisions of the mechanisms in the field of international water law—the Helsinki Rules and the UN Watercourses Convention—for water quantity and quality aspects, as well as to provide an insight into the basin regarding these two aspects.

Title: Challenges and Opportunities for Transboundary Water Cooperation in Central Asia: Findings from UNECE's Regional Assessment and Project Work
Abstract: This paper provides an overview of topical issues and problems related to transboundary water resources in Central Asia and their management in the light of the Second Assessment carried out under the UNECE Water Convention (2009– 2011) as well as experiences from ongoing projects. The conflict between water use for hydropower and for agriculture, land degradation and negatively impacted ecosystems resulting from reduced flows and degraded water quality, poor condition of the hydraulic infrastructure, and the legacy of pollution all have implications for health, economy, and stability in the region. The outdated legal framework for regional cooperation on shared waters requires improvement to help find sustainable long-term solutions for reasonable and equitable use of shared water resources.

Title: Governance of aquaculture water use
Abstract: 
 Successful aquaculture depends on access to sufficient water of adequate quality, and should not significantly degrade water quality or damage ecosystems in receiving waters. While water management technologies have received a lot of attention as potential solutions, many of the outstanding challenges are collective-action problems that depend on improving aquaculture governance. In high-income countries, aquaculture is often subject to multiple regulations that constrain the development of the sector, whereas in most low- and middle-income countries, regulations are fewer, less demanding or not implemented. Many of the promising and innovative governance initiatives involve a combination of rules, information and incentives, as well as negotiation among multiple stakeholders.

Title: How could water markets like Australia’s work in China?
Abstract: 
 What hurdles lie in the path of the Chinese government’s plan to introduce water trading? This question is addressed by reviewing lessons from establishing water markets in Australia, and then assessing an early scheme to create them in China. In Australia, markets in water opened up over several decades, with gradual recognition of what was needed to avoid negative third-party effects. Trading there is now crucial: in drought years nearly half the water used by farmers is traded. Australia’s experience throws light on the key requirements for a water market – though markets in China will, naturally, be fashioned to suit its own conditions. The pilot work by Tsinghua University in Gansu Province has led the way in having trading at the local level in China. Compared with Australia, however, rights are not as tradeable, metering is poor, and plots are tiny. Trading has mostly been by water user associations, made up of several hundred farmers, but this dampens the incentives that make markets effective – and can upset individual farmers. Possible ways past these hurdles are discussed.

Title: Social capital as a vital resource in flood disaster recovery in Malaysia
Abstract: 
 This article examines the role of social capital in the form of aid from the private sector, NGOs, universities, the public and others to help flood victims cope with floods. Research methods included collecting primary data via surveys and interviews, published secondary data, participatory observations and focus group discussions. The study finds that social capital builds collaborations and partnerships among disaster organizations, mobilizes the public as disaster volunteers, strengthens community resilience and deepens family ties. Social capital also builds self-reliance, enhances coping and quickens recovery from floods. Hence, formulation and implementation of flood policies and strategies should include and maximize social capital.

Title: The water–energy nexus: energy use for water supply in China
Abstract: 
 China’s strategy to meet increasing water demand is to increase the use of inter-basin transfer water and unconventional water. This study evaluates the energy requirements of this strategy by disaggregating and quantifying the regional energy use for water supply in 2020 and 2030; the energy use in 2014 is calculated to represent the present situation. We find that the energy use for water supply in 2014 amounted to 81 billion kWh. This value is expected increase to 90 and 109 billion kWh by 2020 and 2030, respectively. In 2030, the urban domestic sector will overtake the agricultural sector as the most energy-intensive sector, with major contribution from inter-basin transfer water.

Title: Challenging the risks-based model of involuntary resettlement using evidence from the Bui Dam, Ghana
Abstract: 
 The Impoverishment, Risks and Reconstruction (IRR) model is arguably the most significant conceptualization of involuntary resettlement to date, strengthening the praxis of the major international financial institutions. Even so, resettlement remains synonymous with impoverishment. While commonly attributed to the failure of governments to properly implement resettlement plans, this article finds that the assumptions embedded in the IRR model are contributory. Based on interviews and focus groups at the Bui Dam resettlement in 2016, the model is useful for identifying material losses, but fails to illuminate more complex social fragmentation, extra-local dynamics and relationships of power.

Title: Irrigation energy use and related greenhouse gas emissions of maize production in Mexico
Abstract: 
 Maize is the most important crop grown in Mexico, with more than one-third of total production coming from irrigated fields. We compute irrigation energy use and associated greenhouse gas emissions of different irrigated maize systems in Mexico. Calculations were based on National Agriculture and Forestry Census 2007 microdata, irrigation water requirements estimated from state-level climate data, and energy and emission coefficients from the literature. Weighted average irrigation energy and related emissions are in the range of 1.0–31.6 GJ/ha and 62.0–2,019.9 kg CO2e/ha, respectively, while country-scale estimates amount to 4.8 PJ and 305.2 Gg CO2e.

Title: City storm-flood events in China, 1984–2015
Abstract: 
 This study uses web-based information to explore the spatial and temporal trends of reported city flood events for all mainland China cities from 1984 to 2015. Panel data were compiled on flooding (or the lack thereof) within China’s cities for every year in this period, and the relationship between the annual number of cities with reported flood events and possible influencing variables was analyzed. Few cities experienced flood events before 2001, but this situation then increased dramatically after 2010. In 2015, approximately 60% of China’s cities experienced a storm-flood event, which is three times as many as the government estimated in 2011.

Title: Water operators’ partnerships and their supporting role in the improvement of urban water supply in Da Nang
Abstract: 
 This work analyzes the main outcomes and success factors of the water operators’ partnership (WOP) between the Dutch water operators’ organization, VEI (formerly Vitens Evides International), and the Vietnamese water utility, Da Nang Water Supply Joint Stock Company (Dawaco), which took place from 2007 to 2010. The partnership is considered within broader international and regional funding programmes, including parallel national and regional WOPs. The article presents WOPs as key processes in larger operations of water infrastructure development and considers WOPs as relevant strategies that contribute to the improvement of urban water services at a global scale.

Title: Local government and public–private partnerships: experiencing multilevel governance issues in Indonesian water supply provision
Abstract: 
 This article examines experiences with the adoption and implementation of two Indonesian water supply public–private partnerships (PPPs). It focuses on how various tiers of governments can share competencies to develop a more successful national PPP programme. The analysis is based on semi-structured interviews and reference to primary documents. We find that effective sharing of roles between governmental tiers contributes to the success of both projects in terms of bankability and marketability. However, coordination problems between government tiers contributes to significant delays in project implementation. This delay is costly given the public health issues associated with lack of access to clean drinking water.

Title: Institutional inertia: challenges in urban water management on the path towards a water-sensitive Surabaya, Indonesia
Abstract: 
 Traditional approaches to urban water management are increasingly questioned. To understand whether the alternative water-sensitive city (WSC) paradigm is applicable in Surabaya, Indonesia, its water governance system was analyzed using semi-structured interviews with relevant stakeholders, questionnaires, and a literature review. Three main institutional obstacles to a transition towards a WSC were identified: national and local political interference; lack of institutional coordination; and the commercialization of Surabaya’s water utility. A discord between water practitioners’ individual beliefs and water management practices also makes changes towards a WSC difficult. Yet, opportunities are found where existing political goals align with elements of the WSC.

Title: Attitude, behaviour and choice: the role of psychosocial drivers in water demand management in Singapore
Abstract: 
 The integration of environmental psychology into the broader domain of water demand research is a growing aspect of water policy. This article contends that effective water demand management policies can only be developed through an identification of the key psychosocial drivers of water use and conservation. By situating goal-framing theory in the context of residential water consumption in Singapore, the article analyzes the determinants of water conservation behaviour. Appealing for a shift away from policies designed to gratify people’s hedonic and gain goals, it asserts that greater priority should be placed on strengthening people’s normative goals towards water conservation.

Title: Drought risk assessment in Vietnamese communities using household survey information
Abstract: 
 Droughts can become disasters if the lack of water impacts vulnerable households. Yet, in many cases drought management relies on maps with relatively simple indicators based on hydro-meteorological data or measurements of other physical variables that are assumed to correlate with households’ drought exposure and vulnerability. This study contributes to more comprehensive drought risk assessments by combining a hydrological hazard indicator with socio-economic indicators for exposure and vulnerability derived from a household survey in a drought risk map for 13 communes in central Vietnam. We find that local and individual circumstances matter in drought risk assessment and that incorporating household survey information is key to understanding drought risks.

Title: Policy transfer into flood management in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta: a North Vam Nao study
Abstract: 
 Water-management practices in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta have predominantly focused on structural development (e.g., dykes) to support rice-based agricultural production. Given the existing conventional approach, however, many of these efforts have been rendered ineffective . This study adopts the policy transfer concept to investigate how the participatory approach is introduced into the local institutional system, and how it shapes the construction, operation and management of the North Vam Nao scheme. Results suggest that this allowed stakeholders to engage collaboratively in these processes. The study contributes an empirical understanding of how policy transfer enhances institutional capacity for water resources management in the delta.

Title: The rationality of groundwater governance in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta’s coastal zone
Abstract: 
 This article assesses the rationality of the governance of the Vietnamese coastal zone’s water system. We first specify five assessment criteria, which we apply to a case study. Based on document analysis, stakeholder surveys and in-depth interviews, we found an average score on the criterion that relevant water system knowledge must be available. The scores on the criteria that water usage is systematically monitored, that the legal framework is complied with, that long-term human and wider ecological interests are addressed, and that governance is decentralized appeared to be low. The article concludes with some recommendations to change the governance system.

Title: Putting farmers’ strategies in the centre of agricultural groundwater use in the Vientiane Plain, Laos
Abstract: 
 Groundwater use for agriculture has the potential to improve rural households’ income and reduce poverty, but the linkages are not always straightforward. Taking Laos as a case study, this article illustrates how differential access to water, land, and capital shape farmers’ livelihood strategies in two nearby, yet contrasting villages on the Vientiane Plain. It examines the factors driving farm households’ decisions to invest in groundwater for agriculture. The findings highlight the need to better understand how farmers view groundwater in relation to their farm household characteristics if groundwater is to be successfully used as a means to improve rural livelihoods.

Title: What about the tributaries of the tributaries? Fish migrations, fisheries, dams and fishers’ knowledge in North-Eastern Thailand
Abstract: 
 The Pak Mun dam is among the most controversial hydropower projects in Thailand. However, the dam’s impacts on upriver tributaries have been neglected. We engaged fishers living in three villages along the Sebok River – a major tributary of the Mun River, upstream of the Pak Mun dam – to collect fish catch data for 24 months between 2014 and 2016. Using these data and fishers’ knowledge, the negative fishery impacts of the Pak Mun dam and the Ban Ot irrigation dam on the Sebok River were assessed. Both dams have negatively impacted Sebok River fisheries for migratory species.

Title: Water governance in the Mekong after the Watercourses Convention 35th ratification: Multilateral or bilateral approach?
Abstract: 
 The possible negative consequences of changes that are occurring in the Mekong River because of development activities are raising concerns. Scholars have been wondering whether multilateral or bilateral water treaties can be used by the states sharing the river to protect their interests. Moreover, the UN Watercourses Convention’s entry into force has made researchers question its potential impact on the management of shared freshwaters. This article will highlight the scenarios in which multilateral or bilateral treaties can be used to manage the Mekong River, taking into account the entry into force of the Watercourses Convention.

Title: A decade of work on water governance at the OECD: what have we learnt?
Abstract: 
 Our societies, economic systems and collective well-being depend on water security and access to water services. Yet, megatrends related to climate change, urbanization and demography are likely to generate more uncertainty about water availability and demand. Responding to these threats will require sharp actions to ensure universal access to drinking water and sanitation. Simultaneous action is also needed to invest in infrastructure and better articulate who does what, how, at which scale, and why. This article explores a decade of work on water governance at the OECD, providing key observations and lessons learnt.

Title: Scotland: a world-leading Hydro Nation
Abstract: 
 We are facing a global crisis and the status quo must change if we want to preserve our planet for future generations. The University of Glasgow was the first in Scotland to declare a climate emergency and as a progressive Scottish institution, it is our responsibility to lead the way in promoting sustainable practice. This paper looks at some key examples that provide a model for other nations to adapt their own practices for water and wastewater management. It discusses why Scotland has chosen to view water as a major financial resource for the country and how public-sector bodies collaborate effectively with communities to ensure the people of Scotland reap the benefits of green water management.

Title: Scarcity of water or scarcity of management?
Abstract: 
 This article investigates the relation between water scarcity and water management. There are many different perceptions of water scarcity, which can include the conditions of arid environments, a general lack of access to water, insufficient water at a basin scale, or difficulty in meeting competing needs. All these issues will intensify with greater consumption and climate change. Asit Biswas reminds us that the root cause of scarcity is the way water is managed. Following this wisdom, I examine different contexts of scarcity I have encountered in my work and reflect on the management challenges which drive and transform water scarcity.

Title: Singapore’s water challenges past to present
Abstract: 
 Problems with drought, floods and public sanitation are commonplace for any developing country. The manner in which Singapore has overcome these difficulties, however, may well be exceptional. Water scarcity was, is, and remains a trial for Singapore’s decision makers. Singapore’s water management method is distinguished by three qualities: integration, circularity and the taking of an uncommonly long view. Thus, despite nature’s poor endowment, today’s Singapore is not short of water. This is possible only because it has been realistic about its circumstances, and has used its intellect and imagination, researching continuously, and continues to muster the will to pursue hard-nosed water policies.

Title: Facing the challenge of extreme climate: the case of Metropolitan Sao Paulo
Abstract: 
 This article describes the hydrologic conditions that resulted in the most severe drought ever experienced in Metropolitan São Paulo (2014–2015). The dramatic situation was tackled by structural and non-structural initiatives by water authorities to avoid social chaos in a region home to more than 21 million people. The article also considers the post-crisis scenario when, in 2018, the metropolis was hit by another serious drought. Due to more rational consumption, a better prepared water system and the start-up of two major water transfer structures, which added new contributions from nearby basins, the critical situation was not perceived by the population.

Title: China’s achievements of water governance over the past seven decades
Abstract: 
 Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, great achievements have been made by China in all aspects of water governance. Besides water conservancy projects, a water resources management system with Chinese characteristics has also been completed. In this article, we summarize the achievements of the past 70 years in flood control, soil and water conservation and water supply, and introduce the water governance institutions of China that sustain those achievements. This provides valuable experience and ideas for other countries that are suffering from similar water issues.

Title: Some reflections on water for residential uses in developed countries
Abstract: 
 Although the major challenges concerning access to water are found in developing countries, the problems affecting developed countries should not be overlooked. These include non-universal access for the poorest households, deterioration in the quality of water resources, and in some cases, reluctance to accept non-conventional sources of water. Faced with this situation, it is reasonable to ask whether sufficient, appropriate efforts are being made to prevent a decline in the well-being of a growing share of the population. Finding a solution to these challenges requires a holistic approach.

Abstract: 
 Based on case studies, the author identifies some critical elements for successful water services. The article reviews some policy aspects, namely the need for sustainable cost recovery, that piped supply is the best option in urban areas, and that there is no viable alternative to continuous (24/7) water supply for achieving sustainable services. Although water professionals are justified in having promoted, and in continuing to promote, these policies, they have failed to communicate these critical elements to government decision makers. The author suggests a possible route to correcting this failure.

Title: Reflections on flood control in Japan and recommendations for developing countries
Abstract: 
 This paper describes the discussions on flood control in Japan, recently adding climate change, and the activities of the Japan International Cooperation Agency for disaster risk reduction. JICA led the negotiations of the UN Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030, as a main member of the government of Japan. The Sustainable Development Goals’ demand to ‘leave no one behind’ requires that the social system protect even the poorest people who live in disaster-prone areas. Local disaster risk reduction planning plays an indispensable role; and JICA wrote an eight-step methodology to formulate these plans. The emphasis in each country needs to shift from planning to implementation.

Title: A retrospective analysis of Laos’s Nam Theun 2 Dam
Abstract: 
 I was appointed in 1997 at the start of the World Bank’s independent International Environmental and Social Panel of Experts for the Nam Theun 2 Dam. I made over 20 visits to Laos to carry out our analyses, before resigning in March 2014. This article concentrates on the Nakai Plateau resettlement and, where relevant, the dam’s Watershed Management and Protection Area, which included a large area between the future reservoir and the Vietnam border. It includes what I consider the main mistakes that were made during the resettlement process on the Nakai Plateau.

Title: Water resilience and human life support - global outlook for the next half century
Abstract: 
 This article highlights green and blue water functions in the densely tied global water network, stabilizing the life support system and generating ecosystems and ecological services. Essential water challenges of the next half century are analyzed, identifying low-latitude dryland vulnerability and sharpening hydro-social water constraints. Attention is drawn to global warming, and the crucial roles of water and agriculture in stabilizing Holocene climate below a fatal warming of +2 °C or more. The article ends with a hydro-climatic, hydro-social and hydro-ecological outlook on how to principally navigate a resilient life support system stressed by climate change, population growth and increasing demands.

Title: Adaptive and sustainable water management: from improved conceptual foundations to transformative change
Abstract: 
 Water resources management is far from being sustainable, despite decades of scholarly work to improve the conceptual foundations of water management practice. Arguments have been provided that paradigm shifts are needed towards more integrated and adaptive water management approaches. This article provides a critical reflection on the translation of such claims from discourse to practice. It reviews conceptual developments and discusses persistent challenges. Some developments that might trigger transformative change are highlighted. These include climate change, nexus approaches to integrated landscape management, and the role of indigenous communities. The article makes recommendations on how science can support mobilizing the transformative potential of these developments.

Title: Economically challenged and water scarce: identification of global populations most vulnerable to water crises
Abstract: 
 The best available high-resolution precipitation, GDP, available freshwater and withdrawal data sets are used in a combined global analysis of physical and economic water scarcity at 50 km resolution. We find that approximately 40.7 million people are living in areas with concurrent severe economic and water-scarcity constraints. These areas are mostly in semi-arid parts of Sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia.

Title: The status of the UN Watercourses Convention: does it still hold water?
Abstract: 
 When the UN General Assembly adopted the Watercourses Convention in 1997, it was heralded as a major milestone in the evolution of international water law. Yet, more than 20 years later and five years since it came into force, enthusiasm for the instrument appears to have waned. Based on patterns in the UNGA vote and assorted ratifications, and statements of various delegates to the UN’s International Law Committee, Sixth Committee and General Assembly, positions on the convention’s text are explored to uncover possible reasons for its diminishing appeal. Other externalities are also considered in terms of the convention’s viability.

Title: Australian water decision making: are politicians performing?
Abstract: 
 Australia has husbanded its water resources to deliver laudable environmental and economic outcomes. But a close examination reveals some areas where decisions have resulted in poor outcomes and unsatisfactory use of public funds. This article examines some of these decisions through four case studies in which I suggest that current water infrastructure governance arrangements should be improved, through compelling politicians to place a greater focus on delivering value for money from infrastructure investments. Delivering higher-quality water services to remote indigenous communities should also be accorded a much higher priority.

Title: Rent-seeking behaviour and regulatory capture in the Murray-Darling Basin, Australia
Abstract: 
 We examine water governance in the Murray-Darling Basin using the frameworks of rent-seeking and regulatory capture. These frameworks are used to evaluate two government programmes intended to ensure an environmentally sustainable level of water diversions in the basin: targeted one-on-one purchases of water entitlements from designated sellers; and subsidies for irrigation infrastructure to increase irrigation efficiency. Deficiencies in delivering the stated environmental goals of both programmes, and questions about their ‘value for money’, are highlighted. Specific recommendations are provided about how to mitigate both rent-seeking and regulatory capture of water reform initiatives in large river basins.

Title: Quenching the thirst of rapidly growing and water-insecure cities in sub-Saharan Africa
Abstract: 
 It is in the water sector that Africa faces some of its more pressing challenges, which are exacerbated with the sprawl of megacities. The gap between water requirements and available water resources is widening. While the urbanization process is still accelerating, acute seasonal and chronic water shortages are already encountered in almost all major cities. Unless the direction is radically changed, sub-Saharan Africa is headed towards an urban water crisis of alarming proportions. Based on city experiences in Africa and comparison to those in India, we draw lessons and suggest response options for tackling urban water crisis risks in Africa.

Title: Sustainability of water and energy use for food production based on optimal allocation of agricultural irrigation water
Abstract: 
 Food security is inextricably linked with water and energy use in irrigated agriculture. This article develops an optimization model to evaluate the sustainability of water and energy use for food production, and the coordination among water, energy and carbon footprints. A case study of Heping Irrigation District, China, demonstrates the applicability of the model. We find that 87.47, 86.12, and 83.67 million m3 of irrigation water allocation are sustainable for high, normal, and low flow levels, respectively, considering economic, social and environmental benefits. The structure of surface water and groundwater allocation remains consistent for different subareas.

Title: Rethinking on the methodology for assessing global water and food challenges
Abstract: 
 The article delinks food security challenges from the challenge of supplying water to meet the needs of the industrial, livestock, domestic and environmental sectors to analyze the food security and water management challenges of individual nations. For this, three indices are developed: the water adequacy index, water-land index and water-land-pasture index. Their values are computed for 172 countries. The analysis suggests that the criteria for assessing the magnitude of food insecurity and water scarcity problems should include agricultural land, particularly cultivated land and pastureland, along with renewable water.

Title: A portfolio of China’s urban water governance sector: administrative system, coordination problems and policy evolution
Abstract: 
 Urban water governance in China has received increasing academic and policy attention owing to frequent urban water crises. Drawing on documentary analysis and field investigations, this article analyzes the administrative system and recent policy developments vis-à-vis urban water governance in China. It demonstrates the main problems of, and mechanisms for, interdepartmental and interjurisdictional coordination, and reviews new policy instruments addressing urgent urban water governance issues. The article argues that coordination mechanisms such as the river chief system are promising but their long-term effectiveness remains to be clarified, and more attention should be paid to policy enforcement and market mechanisms.

Title: Water use control system in China
Abstract: 
 China is developing a complicated three-aspect water use control system. Spatially, the system includes river basin, province, prefecture, county, permit, and individual users; temporally, it consists of annual average and annual/seasonal frameworks; and in terms of management objectives, it combines abstraction, consumption and use. Technical consistency is required in volume, space, timing, management and reliability. Application in the Yellow River basin reveals consistency problems in targets, indicators, timings and control periods. We suggest improving the system by addressing temporal and spatial inconsistencies, reforming management systems and procedures, strengthening research, and developing a water accounting system.

Title: River chief system as a collaborative water governance approach in China
Abstract: 
 Despite the various water management explorations in China over the past three decades, China’s water problems remain challenging. Recently the Chinese government introduced the river chief system, a collaborative water governance approach, as an update to the previous water management system. We analyze this reform by establishing an analytical framework based on collaborative governance theory. The analysis argues that the institutional context and motivations are the external conditions influencing the collaborative governance regime and thus the outcomes of the river chief system. We conclude that the system provides effective water management tackling collaborative issues in the Chinese context, but its long-term effects and sustainability remain to be determined.

Title: Public–private partnerships in the water sector in China: a comparative analysis
Abstract: 
 China has emerged as one of the world’s most active markets for public–private partnerships (PPP) in the water sector, while the pace of such development globally has slowed in recent years. This article investigates the dynamics of the development of PPP projects in the Chinese water sector through comparative case studies. Our findings suggest that the unwavering pursuit of PPPs as a policy instrument by the central government, water sector reforms and the effective implementation of local governments are among key factors driving the impressive growth of PPP projects in China.

Title: The Chinese characteristics of payments for ecosystem services: a conceptual analysis of water eco-compensation mechanisms
Abstract: 
 The applications of payments for ecosystem/environmental services (PES) are diverse. However, the changing characteristics of these applications in different contexts have not been adequately elucidated. This article provides a conceptual analysis of China’s water eco-compensation mechanism (ECM), a notion reported in the PES literature, through the lens of public–private, state–market, central–local and interjurisdictional relationships. It argues that the water ECM is essentially a state-centric utilitarian approach to mediating regional conflicts and inequalities. The Chinese practices of water ECM indicate an alternative approach to incentive-based conservation, highlighting the potential of integrating government-led instruments with market-oriented mechanisms in the development of a PES framework.

Title: Groundwater irrigation and management in northern China: status, trends, and challenges
Abstract: 
 This study uses panel data from the North China Water Resources Survey in 2004 and 2016 to update the status of groundwater. In the past two decades, groundwater irrigation has spread to more villages, but declining groundwater tables and deterioration in water quality have become more serious. Some policy measures (well-drilling permits, water quotas, water resources fees) have been implemented in an increasing number of villages, but they still only reached a small fraction of villages. Some of the responses by farmers to these challenges have accelerated groundwater extraction. Policy efforts are needed to improve the effectiveness of policy implementation and enhance sustainable groundwater use.

Title: How to promote effective irrigation pricing reform in northern China? Insights from the Taocheng District
Abstract: 
 There has been a growing interest in understanding the enabling conditions for the adoption of irrigation pricing reform worldwide. We enrich the literature on policy diffusion by comparing the effects of different mobilization patterns in northern China, showing how differences in incentives have hampered or fostered the spread of a collect-and-refund policy in Taocheng District. We find that the mobilization pattern of water authorities, with limited fiscal resources and weak political influence, provided little incentive for local authorities to adopt the policy. By contrast, the mobilization pattern of government chiefs mobilized local authorities to spread the policy across larger scales.

Title: Joint analysis of water rights trading and water-saving management contracts in China
Abstract: 
 Water rights trading and water-saving management contracts are important market-oriented means to promote water conservation. This study integrates them together for a joint analysis, and puts forward a new way to optimize market-oriented water-saving services in China. This is to establish a water-saving management contracts-based water rights trading mechanism, that is, to allow trading of water saved under a management contract. We have two main findings. First, water-saving management contracts and water rights trading are highly compatible and interrelated. Second, water rights trading can be integrated into the implementation of water-saving management contracts and thereby promote their application.

Title: Freshwater use in China: relations to economic development and natural water resources availability
Abstract: 
 Understanding the patterns and driving factors of water use is vital for developing adequate and sustainable water management strategies. This study examines the relations of provincial freshwater use in China to economic development and natural water availability in both space and time. The panel data model fitting results indicate that temporal variability of per capita total and sectoral water use shows an environmental Kuznets curve and is negatively correlated with water availability. In space, water availability has a significant positive effect on provincial water use. The results aids in diagnosing historical water use and elucidating relevant policy implications.

Title: Farmers’ perceptions of irrigation and constraints on rice production in Benin: a stakeholder-consultation approach
Abstract: 
 This article examines rice farmers’ perceptions of irrigation and constraints on rice production in the municipality of Malanville, Benin. Farmers’ positive perceptions of irrigation include the use of irrigation for insurance against drought, crop yield improvement, higher income, food security and poverty reduction. Analysis of constraints reveals that farmers face major constraints such as lack of agricultural credit, poor access to production inputs, inadequate knowledge of water resources management, poor access to agricultural information and markets, and flooding of fields. Specific constraints in the irrigation scheme of Malanville include the high cost of irrigation and unavailability of water.

Title: Participatory scenario planning for sustainable irrigated agriculture when actors seldom communicate: an experiment in Morocco
Abstract: 
 In Morocco, agricultural activities based on groundwater use increasingly face risks of aquifer overdraft and market saturation. However, farmers and public organizations responsible for agriculture and water resources rarely communicate to identify how these risks could be overcome. A participatory scenario-planning process was organized in a small region to identify a pathway towards agricultural activities that are sustainable in terms of groundwater resource use and profitability. Actors jointly determined this pathway thanks to the organization of preparatory workshops held separately with each actor before they met together, and the progressive integration of agriculture development and groundwater use in scenario design.

Title: Thirsty slums in African cities: household water insecurity in urban informal settlements of Lilongwe, Malawi
Abstract: 
 Over 70% of Malawi’s urban population lives in informal settlements, where households regularly face chronic water insecurity. This article utilizes mixed methods – household surveys (N = 645), field observations, focus groups and interviews – to examine household water insecurity in three urban informal settlements of Lilongwe, Malawi’s capital and largest city. The study finds that water insecurity arises from overdependence on communal water kiosks which are insufficient in number, have high nonfunctional rates, are prone to vandalism, and provide water irregularly; lack of alternative improved water sources; and a significant time burden due to long waiting times and multiple trips to water sources. The findings underscore why water insecurity in Africa’s urban informal settlements deserves urgent policy attention.

Title: Social learning for adaptive delta management: Tidal River Management in the Bangladesh Delta
Abstract: 
 The article analyzes Tidal River Management in Bangladesh from a social learning perspective. Four cases were investigated using participatory assessment. Knowledge acquisition through transformations in the Tidal River Management process was explored as an intended learning outcome. The study finds that social learning occurred more prominently at the individual stakeholder level and less at the collective level. For Tidal River Management to be responsive and sustainable, especially in times of increased uncertainty and climate vulnerability, more attention needs to be paid to coordination and facilitation of multi-level learning that includes all stakeholders.

Title: Avoiding the water-poverty trap: insights from a conceptual human-water dynamical model for coastal Bangladesh
Abstract: 
 Water-related risks impact development opportunities and can trap communities in a downward spiral of economic decline. In this article, the dynamic relationship between water-related risks and economic outcomes for an embanked area in coastal Bangladesh is conceptualized. The interaction between flood events, salinity, deteriorating and poorly maintained water infrastructure, agricultural production and income is modelled. The model is used to test the effect of improvements in the reliability, operation and maintenance of the water infrastructure on agricultural incomes and assets. Results indicate that interventions can have non-marginal impacts on indicators of welfare, switching the system dynamic from a poverty trap into one of growth.

Title: Evaluating media framing and public reactions in the context of a water reuse proposal
Abstract: 
 The public is increasingly engaging with information about water reuse proposals through the Internet. Though there are benefits to engaging the public online, there may also be challenges associated with media bias or online advocacy. This study qualitatively examines the public response (online comments, n = 1323) to online news reporting an indirect potable reuse proposal for London. The study found no evidence of the media’s framing of the event strongly shaping the unsolicited online public reactions. Findings suggest that though communications may struggle to counter longer-term news agendas, there may be benefits to experimenting with framing water safety measures and shorter-term gains.

Title: Assessing sustainability of rural gravity-fed water schemes on Idjwi Island, D.R. Congo
Abstract: 
 To assess the sustainability of rural gravity-fed water schemes on Idjwi Island, the association between four hypothesized drivers of sustainability – perceived sense of ownership, willingness to pay for maintenance, trust in the water committee, and household involvement in the project – and service reliability, the main outcome variable, was analyzed. Primary data were gathered through in-person surveys of 1253 user households. The results provide two significant insights. First, during the 5–10 years after implementation, in the presence of an external intervention, a lower perceived sense of ownership for the water system was associated with higher service reliability. This stands in contrast with much of the existing literature, which outlines a consistent positive association between sense of ownership and sustainability of rural water systems. Second, despite 77% of beneficiaries stating that they were willing to pay for maintenance service, such contributions were not forthcoming, due to lack of trust in the water committee. In this scenario, almost 42% of the water points are reported as non-functional, 5–10 years after completion.

Title: Profitability of irrigation and value of water in Oklahoma and Texas agriculture
Abstract: 
 This article evaluates profitability of irrigated versus non-irrigated agricultural production of major crops (corn, cotton, wheat, soybeans, sorghum) in 2010 (a wet year) and 2011 (an exceptional drought year) in Oklahoma and Texas. It also estimates the economic value of water for agricultural production in both states to answer the question of added value generated with irrigation. Answering those questions is critical in the face of exceptional and severe droughts affecting Oklahoma and Texas in the past decade, in addition to steeply declining groundwater resources in the Ogalalla Aquifer. The results can help with designing mitigation and adaptation measures to water scarcity.

Title: The limited success of formal water markets in the Segura River basin, Spain
Abstract: 
 The Segura basin in south-eastern Spain is one of the most water-scarce regions in Europe. Its water economy has characteristics that constitute very favourable conditions for water market activity, and there are significant trading opportunities. However, the traded volumes have been rather small even though most of the water market activity in continental Spain is concentrated there. This paper describes the few formal water market experiences in the Segura basin since water trading was legislated on and regulated in 1999. As a result of this analysis, some hypotheses are made regarding the causes of the limited operation of this economic instrument.

Title: Using two-eyed seeing to bridge Western science and Indigenous knowledge systems and understand long-term change in the Saskatchewan River Delta, Canada
Abstract: 
 Although researchers now recognize that Indigenous knowledge can strengthen environmental planning and assessment, little research has empirically demonstrated how to bring together Indigenous knowledge and Western science to form a more complete picture of social-ecological change. This study attempts to fill this gap by using ‘two-eyed seeing’ – an approach that brings together Indigenous and Western perspectives on an equal basis – to collect and analyze changes in the Saskatchewan River Delta since upstream dams were built in the 1960s. Results found corroboration across the knowledge systems that operation of dams has lowered summer flows and created unnaturally high winter flows. The knowledge systems, however, diverged in some areas, such as the production of northern pike, where local residents observed abundant pike but records showed the pike commercial harvest declining to near zero. Indigenous knowledge alone provided information about berries and berry seasons. This two-eyed seeing approach can enhance environmental assessment and planning by providing a more accurate and coherent narrative of long-term social-ecological change.

Title: Sustainable water resources development in northern Australia: the need for coordination, integration and representation
Abstract: 
 The Australian government’s push to develop northern Australia identified water security as crucial in underpinning any new agricultural developments. Compliance of the current water resources planning frameworks in the three northern Australian jurisdictions – Queensland, Western Australia and the Northern Territory – with the National Water Initiative is reviewed. An updated approach to water resource development in northern Australia is then proposed that could involve the Australian government taking a greater coordinating role. Four key requirements of this new approach are then discussed: new coordinating legislation (for example, a Northern Australia Water Act); greater involvement of First Nations communities; a more coordinated and integrated water resource planning process; and improved and more transparent processes for water infrastructure funding.

Title: The spatial component of integrative water resources management: differentiating integration of land and water governance
Abstract: 
 Contemporary water-governance approaches lack an understanding of the differences revealed when land and water governance interact. Conflicts arise because the spatial component is less regarded in water-governance approaches. This explorative paper introduces an analytical framework for the common management of land and water along three frontiers: the vertical frontier concerns the interaction between subsurface groundwater and land uses on the surface; the horizontal frontier refers to coastlines or riverfronts; and the fluent frontier is about inundations and flood events. Rather than a panacea for all governance issues, this paper proposes a more differentiated perspective on integrative water-governance approaches.

Title: Adaptive governance: a catalyst for advancing sustainable urban transformation in the global South
Abstract: 
 Adaptive governance has been proposed by many scholars as an approach to sustainable resource management, and has subsequently been applied in many countries. While the conceptual origins of adaptive governance have largely emerged from the global North, there has been little critical attention to the utility of adaptive governance concepts in the global South. Through a qualitative meta-analysis of adaptive governance scholarship published between 2000 and 2018, this article characterizes the key attributes of adaptive governance in the global North and examines whether these attributes are present in contemporary scholarship on the global South. In doing so, the article confirms that adaptive governance principles are present, but reveals distinctions regarding how these manifest in the global South. The article proposes a guiding framework to advance the design and implementation of future adaptive governance interventions in the global South.

Title: Cost and schedule overruns in large hydropower dams: an assessment of projects completed since 2000
Abstract: 
 This paper presents novel data on cost and schedule overruns in recent dam projects started and completed since 2000 and compares them with pre-existing data sets on projects started before 2000. Combining these data, a meta-data set was created of 184 cost overrun and 191 time overrun data points. For post-2000 projects, the average cost overrun was 33% and schedule overrun was 18% as compared with 46% and 37% respectively for pre-2000 projects. While a decrease in the averages was observed, the change in cost overruns is not statistically significant, whereas the change in time overruns is significant.

Title: Functionality of handpump water supplies: a review of data from sub-Saharan Africa and the Asia-Pacific region
Abstract: 
 Handpumps are heavily relied upon for drinking water in rural areas of low- and middle-income countries, but their operation and maintenance remain problematic. This review presents updated and expanded handpump functionality estimates for 47 countries in sub-Saharan Africa and the Asia-Pacific region. Our results suggest that approximately one in four handpumps in sub-Saharan Africa are non-functional at any point in time, which in 2015 was roughly equivalent to 175,000 inoperative water points. Functionality statistics for Asia-Pacific countries vary widely, but data gaps preclude a robust region-wide estimate. In spite of data inconsistencies and imperfections, the results illustrate the persistent and widespread nature of rural water supply sustainability concerns.

Title: Water demand reduction to help meet SDG 6: learning from major Australian cities
Abstract: 
 Sustainable Development Goal 6 seeks to address the increasing and unmet demand for water in many urban areas already struggling with inadequate water quality and supply. With climate change posing new threats, and both population growth and rural urban migration exacerbating existing issues, measures to reduce water demand sit alongside increasing water supply to address the problem. This article outlines Australia’s experience in reducing water demand in urban areas, illustrating a range of measures that could contribute to meeting this goal. Key measures have a low fiscal cost, but require attention to governance.

Title: The decline of water consumption in Spanish cities: structural and contingent factors
Abstract: 
 As cities will concentrate most of the world’s population and economic activities, so urban water demand will account for a large proportion of global water demand in the future. In contrast, recent empirical evidence indicates that water consumption in many cities of the developed world is declining. In this article, this decline in consumption is studied for the major Spanish cities, and some of the drivers of this decline (economic, technological and behavioural) are explored. Contingent events such as droughts and economic crises may intensify the decline in consumption, as shown for the case of Barcelona.

Title: Information-based interventions for household water efficiency in England and Wales: evidence, barriers and learning opportunities
Abstract: 
 Following the call of the UK’s Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs in its recent Water Efficiency and Behaviour Change Rapid Evidence Assessment 2018, this article seeks to understand the key barriers to effective information-based interventions to encourage household water efficiency in England and Wales and their implications. We review the evidence on information provision to conserve water in England and Wales. We then set out the current key barriers, highlight what might have contributed to the barriers and, based on learnings from the literature, clarify some underlying confusion and suggest ways to improve.

Title: Exploring the psychosocial and behavioural determinants of household water conservation and intention
Abstract: 
 Securing urban freshwater supplies is a major challenge for policy makers globally. This study investigated the determinants of household water conservation to identify the relative contribution of psychosocial and behavioural determinants. Using a survey of 1196 households across the UK, we found that attitudes, norms and habits play an important role in determining intention to conserve water, and that habits were the single most important predictor of water conservation intentions and self-reported water bills. Changing ingrained water conservation habits is therefore an important component of managing urban water demand.

Title: Psychological barriers to urban recycled water acceptance: a review of relevant principles in decision psychology
Abstract: 
 This paper reviews principles from decision psychology relevant to understanding and increasing acceptance of urban recycled water, and supplements existing literature by suggesting an additional factor: adaptation insensitivity. We integrate into our discussion previously unpublished results from a study conducted in 2007, which surveyed 2680 respondents in five American cities, identifying basic psychological features impacting resistance to recycled water. We focus on identifying targets for intervention, including the failure of respondents to realize that, with exposure, they would adapt to recycled water (adaptation insensitivity).

Title: Drivers of productivity change in water companies: an empirical approach for England and Wales
Abstract: 
 In this study, a normalized quadratic cost function was employed to estimate total factor productivity for the water sector in England and Wales over the period 1993–2016. Productivity was then decomposed into technical change and scale effect. Technical change is further broken down into pure technical change, non-neutral technical change, and effects due to scale-augmenting technical change. The water industry increased its productivity annually by 6.1%, with 1.5% corresponding to technical change and 4.5% attributed to the scale effect. Lastly, we discuss some policy implications by linking the productivity results with the regulatory cycle.

Title: Technological enablers and confidence building in end-users for effective non-domestic water demand management
Abstract: 
 By 2060, 70% of Singapore’s total water demand will be used for non-domestic purposes. Effective management of this demand will allow the national water agency, PUB, to achieve significant leverage and take strides in water sustainability as land use nears capacity limits in Singapore. Uptake of water conservation projects was sluggish in the initial years due to the high upfront capital and manpower resources required for implementation, and perceived incremental benefit to business margins. Through policy reform, technological innovation and a rigorous industrial engagement strategy, PUB has since completed 45 water conservation projects and is set to achieve 14.3 million gallons per day in non-domestic water savings by the end of 2020.

Title: Drivers and challenges to water tariff reform in Saudi Arabia
Abstract: 
 In 2015, increases in the domestic water tariff in Saudi Arabia were met with significant opposition. Although the increases were needed to address the technical and financial sustainability of the service in the context of extreme scarcity and high costs, insufficient effort was made to explain the changes and prepare the public. This paper examines the trade-offs surrounding the design of a domestic water tariff, based on economic theory and global experience, and sets out the competing factors Saudi Arabia should consider when designing a new tariff structure to provide long-term public acceptability while ensuring the service remains sustainable.

Title: Importance of internal factors for community-managed water and wastewater systems in Cochabamba, Bolivia
Abstract: 
 Community management is often seen as part of the solution to increase access to drinking water and wastewater management where municipal services are lacking. This article intends to increase the knowledge regarding self-organized community-managed water and wastewater systems in urban and peri-urban areas. A theory-building case-study approach, including three different neighbourhoods in Bolivia and their respective community-based organizations, was selected. Four prerequisites – leadership, agreed vision, collective action and management – and associated enabling factors connected to three distinct planning and management phases were found to be of major importance for community-managed water and wastewater systems.

Title: Some systems perspectives on demand management during Cape Town’s 2015–2018 water crisis
Abstract: 
 Cape Town recently suffered severe water shortages triggered by a multi-year drought. These shortages were aggravated by reliance on demand management to balance supply and demand in the rapidly growing city. This article considers the interaction between the supply-side planning system and the less systematic approach used to plan and manage what is characterized as the demand-side system. Political priorities and preferences as well as perceptions of and attitudes towards risk influenced demand forecasts and development decisions. The experience illustrates the importance of a more systematic approach to demand forecasting to reduce the risk of supply failures.

Title: How OCWD made potable reuse palatable and avoided public opposition to its project
Abstract: 
 The paper provides a description of the efforts taken by the Orange County Water District (the District; OCWD) to insulate itself from public opposition to its potable reuse project, the Groundwater Replenishment System (GWRS). We emphasize how important it is to first understand the challenges faced by concurrent projects in Southern California, and the development and execution of OCWD’s outreach programme, which was ongoing and fluid to better anticipate and react to emerging issues. Finally, we demonstrate the importance of continued outreach efforts, outlining the various steps the District has taken to educate people about reuse benefits.

Title: Nestlé caring for water
Abstract: 
 Water has been a ‘natural’ management priority for Nestlé since its beginnings, more than 150 years ago. Farmers need water to grow food, factories need water to operate, and consumers need water to prepare their dishes. Water touches every part of Nestlé’s value chain. This article describes how Nestlé’s management has made water a priority for the company over time. Nestlé has become a leading company in industrial water management in its own manufacturing facilities. However, over time, Nestlé realized that the impact of a water strategy built solely on internal excellence is limited, both from an operational and from a reputational perspective. Therefore, Nestlé has come up with a new strategy, the Caring for Water initiative, which builds on the principles of water stewardship, focusing on collective action at the level of the watershed.

Title: Transforming failing smallholder irrigation schemes in Africa: a theory of change
Abstract: 
 Drawing on the results of the Transforming Irrigation in Southern Africa project, we assess positive transitions in smallholder irrigation schemes. The project’s theory of change is evaluated. Soil monitoring tools and agricultural innovation platforms were introduced in five irrigation schemes in Mozambique, Tanzania and Zimbabwe. The synergies between these interventions increased both crop yields and profitability. This empowered farmers, improved equity, and accelerated social learning and innovation. The resulting, iterative cycles of change improved governance, sustainability and socio-economic outcomes. The challenges of scaling these interventions up and out are outlined.

Title: Why agricultural production in sub-Saharan Africa remains low compared to the rest of the world – a historical perspective
Abstract: 
 Agricultural production in sub-Saharan Africa has, in recent times, remained lower than the rest of the world. Many attribute this to factors inherent to Africa and its people, such as climate, soil quality, slavery and disease. This article traces the role of agriculture through history and argues that these are not the main reasons. Before the arrival of European traders, complex agricultural systems existed, which supported food security, manufacturing and trade. External interference manipulated these systems in pursuit of export crops. Independence has not fundamentally changed this; resource and wealth extraction continue to inhibit economic development for Africans in Africa.

Title: Exploring the factors causing the poor performance of most irrigation schemes in post-independence sub-Saharan Africa
Abstract: 
 This article explores the factors causing the current poor performance of most government irrigation schemes in sub-Saharan Africa. The literature review finds that the poor performance is not primarily caused by socioeconomic and biophysical conditions inherent to sub-Saharan Africa. African farmers have adapted to diverse biophysical conditions and expanded or contracted their area under agricultural water management in response to market signals. Rather, this poor performance is predominantly linked to the production systems introduced during colonialism and developments since independence, such as agricultural policies restraining rural economic development, unsuitable irrigation technologies and agricultural practices, and international lending practices and trade arrangements.

Title: The dynamics between irrigation frequency and soil nutrient management: transitioning smallholder irrigation towards more profitable and sustainable systems in Zimbabwe
Abstract: 
 Successful irrigated agriculture is underpinned by answering two critical questions: when and how much to irrigate. This article quantifies the role of the Chameleon and the Wetting Front Detector, monitoring tools facilitating decision-making and learning about soil-water-nutrient dynamics. Farmers retained nutrients in the root zone by reducing irrigation frequency, number of siphons, and event duration. Water productivity increased by more than 100% for farmers both with and without monitoring tools. Transitioning smallholder irrigation systems into profitable and sustainable schemes requires investment in technology, farmers and institutions. Importantly, technologies need embedding in a learning environment that fosters critical feedback mechanisms, such as market constraints.

Title: Do agricultural innovation platforms and soil moisture and nutrient monitoring tools improve the production and livelihood of smallholder irrigators in Mozambique?
Abstract: 
 Over four years, a research-for-development project was implemented at the 25 de Setembro irrigation scheme in Mozambique. The project introduced agricultural innovation platforms to overcome barriers to production such as input and output supply chains and poorly maintained irrigation canals. Soil moisture and nutrient monitoring tools were provided so that farmers could improve their irrigation and fertilizer management. The farmers increased their crop production through the use of the tools and better irrigation infrastructure, and increased their income and overall well-being through better links to markets and new information sources facilitated by the agricultural innovation platforms.

Title: The role of soil water monitoring tools and agricultural innovation platforms in improving food security and income of farmers in smallholder irrigation schemes in Tanzania
Abstract: 
 Smallholder irrigation is an important pathway towards better livelihoods and food security in sub-Saharan Africa. This article assesses the contribution of farmer-friendly soil and water monitoring tools, and agricultural innovation platforms, towards household income and food security in two small-scale irrigation schemes in Tanzania. Quantitative and qualitative data from farmer’s field books, household surveys and focus groups were used to assess the impacts of the two interventions. The two interventions together contributed to enhancing smallholders’ food security and household income in the two schemes, as did the agricultural innovation platform on its own.

Title: Identifying leverage points to transition dysfunctional irrigation schemes towards complex adaptive systems
Abstract: 
 This article explores the value of Ostrom’s socio-ecological systems framework and Meadows’s leverage point hierarchy, as structured diagnostics, to define systemic problems and avoid approaches based on linear thinking. These frameworks were applied as an ex post analysis of an irrigation scheme in Zimbabwe, drawing on the scheme’s baseline condition and the intervention outcomes. Strong leverage points, particularly those driving feedback mechanisms and institutional design, interacted with other intervention points, initiating systemic change. This analysis suggests that dysfunctional schemes can be transitioned towards complex adaptive systems by using agricultural innovation platforms to identify systemic challenges and intervention points.

Title: The importance of learning processes in transitioning small-scale irrigation schemes
Abstract: 
 Many small-scale irrigation schemes are dysfunctional, and learning, innovation and evaluation are required to facilitate sustainable transitions. Using quantitative and qualitative data from five irrigation schemes in sub-Saharan Africa, we analyze how learning and change arose in response to: soil monitoring tools, which triggered a deep learning cycle; and agricultural innovation platforms, which helped develop a social learning system. Knowledge generation and innovation were driven by the incentives of more profitable farming. Learning and change spread to farmers without the tools, and learning at different levels resulted in extension and governance stakeholders facilitating profound institutional change.

Title: Growth and inequality at the micro scale: an empirical analysis of farm incomes within smallholder irrigation systems in Zimbabwe, Tanzania and Mozambique
Abstract: 
 The mechanisms linking growth and inequality are critical for poverty reduction, yet they remain poorly understood at the micro level, as current knowledge is dominated by country-wide studies. This article evaluates farm income growth and changes in inequality among five smallholder irrigation communities in Mozambique, Tanzania and Zimbabwe. Over the period of study, the poorest sections of the population became better-off. Over an income growth spell, at low levels of growth, relative inequality increases, but it starts to drop as growth rises beyond a certain rate. Thus, careful design is required to ensure that pro-growth strategies also become inequality-reducing.

Title: Irrigators’ willingness to pay for the adoption of soil moisture monitoring tools in South-Eastern Africa
Abstract: 
 Contingent valuation is used to elicit irrigators’ willingness to pay for soil moisture tools in irrigation schemes in Africa, with various econometric methods employed to mitigate potential bias. Key results include that there is a neighbourhood effect influencing adoption, and that being located downstream and spending more on irrigation water positively and statistically significantly influenced willingness to pay for tools. The result suggests that although focusing on economic incentives and promoting farmer learning by those using the tools may promote greater adoption, there is likely to still be a need for co-investment by other bodies.

Title: Emerging citizen contributions, roles and interactions with public authorities in Dutch pluvial flood risk management
Abstract: 
 This article focuses on the emerging role of citizens and their increasing contributions to local pluvial flood risk management in the Netherlands. A qualitative research approach is followed with semi-structured interviews, and analysis of policy documents and media reports. A typology of physical resources and actions, knowledge and advocacy activities shows evidence of locally focused citizen contributions to pluvial flood risk management in the Dutch city of Arnhem. We find that this emerging citizen role is being shaped by traditional authority-led interactions, creative and dialogical approaches to citizen engagement, and citizen-initiated contributions that then interact with authorities.

Title: Cross-sector collaboration within Dutch flood risk governance: historical analysis of external triggers
Abstract: 
 This article synthesizes the literature on Dutch flood risk governance to analyze how external conditions shaped past and present dynamics of cross-sector collaboration for integrated flood risk management in the Netherlands. It traces the extent to which policy and legal frameworks, socio-economic circumstances, political realities, power relations and conflict situations have influenced attempts at collaboration between flood safety, spatial planning, environmental protection and other sectors. Despite the growing interdependences, existing power relations between the sectors are characterized by the dominance of the water sector. Hence, cross-sector collaboration can develop as long as it does not compromise flood safety.

Title: Hong Kong’s water security: a governance perspective
Abstract: 
 Traditional concerns regarding Hong Kong’s water security have centred on water quantity, quality and pricing. In contrast, this article embraces an integrative conceptualization of water security from a governance perspective. A technocratic and supply-oriented water system may overlook challenges stemming from scalar mismatches at the territorial, institutional and discursive levels, as well as at the science–policy interface. Resilience thinking could identify new areas of concern and provide contextually sensitive insights into Hong Kong’s water security, which will be subject to the restructuring of the water governance system, which concerns changing discourses, power relations and institutional mechanisms.

Title: Achieving water security in Nepal through unravelling the water-energy-agriculture nexus
Abstract: 
 This article investigates water security in Nepal from the perspective of the water-energy-agriculture (food) nexus, focusing on pathways to water security that originate in actions and policies related to other sectors. It identifies promoting development of Nepal’s hydropower potential to provide energy for pumping as way to improve water security in agriculture. Renewable groundwater reserves of 1.4 billion cubic meters (BCM), from an estimated available balance of 6.9 BCM, could be pumped to irrigate 613,000 ha of rainfed agricultural land in the Terai plains, with a potential direct economic gain of USD 1.1 billion annually and associated benefits including promotion of energy-based industry, food security and local employment. Governance also plays an important role in addressing water security. We conclude that a nexus-based approach is required for effective water management and governance.

Title: Comparative analysis of hybridized solutions to water resources management in Burkina Faso, India and Peru
Abstract: 
 Hybridization of ‘green’ and engineered infrastructure, informed by protecting or restoring catchment processes, can resolve interconnected demands on catchment ecosystems, potentially also reversing historic degradation of socio-ecological systems. Pressures are acute in water-scarce, developing regions with episodic rainfall, exacerbated by historic presumptions favouring engineered management. Comparing conditions, histories and emerging approaches in contrasting regions – the Central Plateau of Burkina Faso, Rajasthan State (India) and Ayacucho Region (Peru) – reveals similar yet distinct approaches reflecting different starting regimes. Transferrable learning about hybridizing localized, nature-based solutions and engineered technology informs the necessary transition towards a sustainable approach in these and other regions.

Title: Agricultural water and energy management in Tajikistan: a new opportunity
Abstract: 
 Agricultural water use in Tajikistan is largely based on mechanized irrigation pumps. The farming community cannot afford the cost of the energy used for pumping, resulting in large debts to the service provider. We propose limiting pumping facilities for five years in exchange for energy export to neighbouring countries. The energy export could cover the annual pumping expenditures, pay off agricultural debt and partly rehabilitate the irrigation network. We suggest three scenarios with different pumping energy reductions, and the relevant technical parameters of the set-aside scheme are assessed.

Title: Moving beyond ‘more crop per drop’: insights from two decades of research on agricultural water productivity
Abstract: 
 Concern over increasing water scarcity has led to the introduction of the concept of agricultural water productivity and an emphasis on interventions to achieve ‘more crop per drop’. Yet, a strong debate continues on how the concept is to be defined and used. Drawing largely from the irrigation literature, the origins of the concept and its methodological developments are reviewed, and its use in applied work over two decades is discussed. Based on this analysis of conceptual and applied research, key insights into the concept’s contributions and limitations are presented, as well as opportunities for further refinements.

Title: Reassessing the Draft Articles on the Law of Transboundary Aquifers through the lens of reciprocity
Abstract: 
 In spite of groundwater’s growing importance, the 2008 Draft Articles on the Law of Transboundary Aquifers have yet to be fully adopted by the international community. As states contemplate the future of the draft articles, this article aims to reassess them through the lens of the legal principle of reciprocity. To do so, this article provides a framework for the analysis of law via reciprocity, followed by its application to the draft articles. Although this article primarily finds that they follow a reciprocal structure, it also identifies areas to be revisited, including sovereignty and recharge zone states.

Title: Exploring management approaches for water and energy in the data-scarce Tekeze-Atbara Basin under hydrologic uncertainty
Abstract: 
 This study examines management approaches for hydropower generation and irrigation and domestic water supply for the Tekeze-Atbara, a transboundary river between Ethiopia, Eritrea and Sudan, in above- and below-normal hydrologic conditions, considering current and future water demand scenarios. Satellite data are used to substitute for unavailable or inaccessible ground meteorological and dam data. Based on three examined coordination scenarios, the analysis finds that coordinating the management of the Sudanese dams would bring significant benefits to water supply and energy generation. An optimization analysis is necessary to reveal the full value of coordination of dams in the Tekeze-Atbara Basin.

Title: Forecast-informed reservoir operations to guide hydropower and agriculture allocations in the Blue Nile basin, Ethiopia
Abstract: 
 Predictive hydroclimate information, coupled with reservoir system models, offers the potential to mitigate climate variability risks. Prior methodologies rely on sub-seasonal, dynamic/synthetic forecasts at short timescales, which challenge application in practice. Here, coupling a local-scale seasonal, statistical streamflow forecast with a reservoir model addresses this gap, to explore hydropower and agricultural production benefits under various operational strategies. Forecast-informed optimization of reservoir releases increases energy production (6–14%), agriculture allocations (54–68%), and net profit. Application to Ethiopia showcases a novel seasonal-scale statistical forecast coupled reservoir model that translates hydroclimatic predictions into actionable information for better management at the local scale.

Title: Transaqua: power, political change and the transnational politics of a water megaproject
Abstract: 
 Least developed countries, with their unique governance and political-economic conditions, face uncommon and under-researched transboundary hydropolitical issues. We analyze the impact of power and political change on the adoption of the Transaqua water transfer megaproject in Central Africa using process tracing and analysis of documents, interviews and fieldwork. We present the key actors and their interests and argue for the central role of the Nigerian leadership in driving Nigeria’s state power and the Lake Chad Basin Commission. Discourses of ‘legitimation’ and ‘urgency’ are two framings used to justify the Transaqua project and expedite its construction, shaping our understanding of the political strategies underlying the speedy adoption of the project.

Title: An understanding of water governance systems in responding to extreme droughts in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta
Abstract: 
 In 2016, extreme drought and saline intrusion led to widespread damage and livelihood disruption for many people in the coastal region of the Vietnamese Mekong Delta. Through an integrated multi-step approach of literature and stakeholder analysis, focus group discussions and interviews with local governments and farmers, an understanding of the local water governance systems and their functioning is gained, providing insight into the power, interest and responsibility of multiple agencies. Development of more responsive and inclusive water governance systems, with improved early warnings and information flows during extreme events, is needed to improve the resilience and adaptation of the region.

Title: Differentiated vulnerabilities and capacities for adaptation to water shortage in Gaborone, Botswana
Abstract: 
 Employing the heuristic of intersectionality, this study analyzes household effects and responses to water shortage in Gaborone, Botswana, focusing on residents’ adaptive capacity and vulnerability. Using data collected through qualitative interviews, we find that households from all socio-economic backgrounds face various effects from water shortage and use numerous strategies to reduce exposure and impact. A key insight is that vulnerability and adaptive capacity are not equally distributed between, or within conventional social categories. Instead, the effects of water shortage are influenced by the intersection and interplay of several underlying factors.

Title: Water allocation strategies for meeting dry-season water requirements for Ganges Kobadak Irrigation Project in Bangladesh
Abstract: 
 This article focuses on a major water use in the Ganges Basin, the Ganges Kobadak Irrigation Project in Bangladesh. The objectives of this article are to assess the present and projected irrigation water requirements, the status of the Ganges River and groundwater resources in the project area, and water allocation strategies to fulfil dry-season irrigation requirements in the short, medium and long term while taking into account competing water uses and the Ganges Treaty, an international water-sharing agreement. These objectives are achieved through an assessment of data on the irrigation project, cropping patterns, groundwater levels (1975–2013) and Ganges River flow (1910–2019).

Title: Promoting multiple-use water services by leveraging existing rural water supply and smallholder farmer groups, Malawi
Abstract: 
 Multiple-use water services (MUS) can enhance the benefits communities receive from the productive use of water. This article uses household surveys, water samples, focus groups and key informant interviews to examine the potential of MUS in northern Malawi. Specific attention is given to the role of existing rural water supply options and knowledge held by an established smallholder rice farmer group. The study finds that expanding MUS requires: (1) forming MUS coalitions between communities, NGOs and business associations; (2) identifying appropriate MUS practices and markets; (3) undertaking community and water availability assessments; and (4) designing services aligned with these assessments.

Title: A statistical and spatial analysis of water poverty using a modified Water Poverty Index
Abstract: 
 This study advances methods of measuring access to water by providing a framework that can be operationalized by practitioners to inform decision and policy making. A modified WPI was developed and deployed in India, with results indicating significant differences between WPI and many indicator scores both between and within administrative territories. Spatial analyses identified significant clustering of WPI and indicator scores, indicating that scores are not randomly distributed. Three weight schemes were applied, two of which were informed by local stakeholders. The weight schemes highlighted the subjectivity of weighting and importance of including local populations in water development and management.

Title: The role of hydropower in South Asia’s energy future
Abstract: 
 With rising energy demand in Asia, the high potential for hydropower development and the need for low-carbon energy development, hydropower would seem to have a significant role in South Asia’s energy future. However, the extent of hydropower development will depend on several risk factors, including the cost of alternative energy sources, the environmental sustainability of hydropower and social issues of equitable development. Using a risk-analysis framework, it is concluded that the future of hydropower will depend on how well policies and institutions manage the risks, facilitate efficient financial markets, and promote fair and friendly cross-border electricity trade.

Title: Regional electricity trade for hydropower development in South Asia
Abstract: 
 This study examines the importance of enhancing cross-border transmission interconnections and regional electricity trade to promote hydropower in the South Asia region and it quantifies the potential of hydropower development and trade under alternative scenarios. The paper shows that regional electricity trade is critical for the exploitation of the untapped hydropower resources in South Asia. It finds that hydropower capacity would increase by 2.7 times over the next two decades if a regional electricity market is developed. If a moderate carbon tax is added on top of it, hydropower capacity would be more than three times higher than the current level.

Title: The political economy of electricity trade and hydropower development in eastern South Asia
Abstract: 
 This article frames the political economy of electricity trade and hydropower development in eastern South Asia. It distils and analyzes four crucial variables in this regard: the health of distribution companies in India; the role of hydropower in India’s ambitious turn to renewable energy; Bangladesh’s power crisis and import dependency; and the governance of regional electricity trading arrangements. It argues that progress in both electricity trade and hydropower development in the region will be incremental in the next decade, hindered by mixed demand signals and the turbulence of geopolitics.

Title: Water and hydropower cooperation in BBIN countries: policies and way forward
Abstract: 
 The BBIN (Bangladesh, Bhutan, India and Nepal) region was a well-integrated one till 1947, when new political boundaries were drawn. Since then, political and emotional reasons have stood in the way of regional cooperation even on mutually beneficial areas like water and energy security. But the increasing awareness among the people of the importance of regional cooperation provides an opportunity to move forward on critical issues. The article explores the current water and power situation, potential for cooperation among BBIN countries, and policy steps needed to strengthen cooperation in these areas for the benefit of the people of these countries.

Title: Electricity trade and cooperation in the BBIN region: lessons from global experience
Abstract: 
 The acute shortage of electric power in South Asia has severely hampered regional economic growth. Cross-border electricity trade – supported by appropriate policies, institutions and grid interconnections – can be a powerful tool for improving people’s livelihoods in its Bangladesh–Bhutan–India–Nepal (BBIN) region. This paper reviews four cases of regional power trade and cooperation from four different continents – Asia, Africa, Latin America and Europe – and identifies six key elements that will be necessary for success in cross-border electricity trade in the BBIN region. It assesses the current status of these key elements in the BBIN countries and suggests areas for immediate intervention. Cooperation in the electricity sector in the region could be the building block for a larger regional cooperation in South Asia – and ultimately for regional economic integration.

Title: Beyond hydropower: towards an integrated solution for water, energy and food security in South Asia
Abstract: 
 South Asia is energy-poor, water-stressed, and food-deficient, and these problems are expected to intensify with high population growth, rapid economic growth and industrialization, urbanization, and changing climate. Although the water, energy, and food security challenges are interconnected, they are dealt with in isolation, which fails to address the challenge of trade-offs and exacerbates the problems. The increased resource scarcity underlines the need for integrated solutions which ensure optimal resource use and maximize benefits. This article uses a nexus perspective to explore possible integrated solutions that support multiple uses of water at different scales and times. The analysis shows that the potential of water resources is underdeveloped and synergies between water, energy, and food are not fully harnessed. With proper coordination and management, water resources can generate multiple benefits for both upstream and downstream areas, including regional public goods such as regional connectivity and flood and drought management.

Title: Effectiveness of hydropower development finance: evidence from Bhutan and Nepal
Abstract: 
 Bhutan benefits from surplus power generation and associated export revenues, whereas Nepal suffers from power shortages and import deficits. They have contrasting hydropower development, taking different approaches and relying on different sources of development finance in hydropower projects. This study analyzed effective financing approaches for feasible hydropower projects under geopolitical constraints. The lesson learned from their comparison is strategic prioritization to select and consolidate international funds. Bhutan has attracted external finance to large projects for power export. However, Nepal failed to plan and use external funds from donors and private investors, resulting in small projects for only domestic consumption.

Title: Topography and the hydraulic mission: water management, river control and state power in Nepal
Abstract: 
 This paper examines the Nepali state’s role in water management over time and space. Using the hydraulic mission model, it draws on historical material, policy documents and interviews. From the 1800s, state water management concentrated on the Kathmandu Valley. The 1960s witnessed the hydraulic mission launch in the Terai lowlands through the construction of public irrigation canals. Since the 1990s, a consolidating hydraulic mission climbed into the hills and mountains through hydropower development. It is argued that, over time, topography played a determining role in the application of state power and water control through infrastructure development, and that attention to geography helps refine the hydraulic mission model.

Title: The role of hydropower in visions of water resources development for rivers of Western Nepal
Abstract: 
 Water resources can play significant roles in development pathways for water-endowed, low-income countries like Nepal. This article describes three visions for water resource development in the Karnali and Mahakali Basins of Western Nepal: state-led development, demand-driven development and preservation of ecosystem integrity. The analysis calls attention to water use trade-offs, including those resulting from national priorities such as infrastructure-based hydropower and irrigation, from local drinking water demand, and from environmental conservation concerns. While these visions of water resources development do diverge, common trends appear, including acknowledgment of water management’s role in expanding energy access and increasing agricultural productivity.

Title: Cross-border electricity trade for Nepal: a SWOT-AHP analysis of barriers and opportunities based on stakeholders’ perception
Abstract: 
 Endowed with over 40,000 MW of economic hydropower potential relative to its nascent domestic demand, Nepal can export electricity to its power-deficit neighbours in the BBIN (Bhutan, Bangladesh, India and Nepal) region as a strategic economic opportunity. The untapped hydro potential in Nepal, coupled with BBIN’s complementary seasonal demand patterns, difference in peak load timing, and rapidly growing growth of electricity demand in Bangladesh and India, are favourable for regional electricity cooperation, especially for Nepal. This study uses the SWOT-AHP-TOWS approach to identify the key barriers and opportunities for cross-border electricity trade and to provide insights on possible strategies for Nepal.

Title: Palestinians and donors playing with fire: 25 years of water projects in the West Bank
Abstract: 
 This article explores how Palestinian-led, donor-supported water projects have transformed societal interactions concerning water since 1994. It distinguishes spatial, institutional and sectoral trajectories of water and explores the impacts on each type of trajectory. It demonstrates that the overall impact of these projects is more than the sum of the individual projects. All together, they entail territorial change. Wastewater and reuse projects transform the largest flows and have the greatest impact on water trajectories. Overall, the recharge of the upper unconfined aquifer is compromised, with negative effects for the grass-roots farmer institutions managing it.

Title: Universities’ partnership: the role of academic institutions in water cooperation and diplomacy
Abstract: 
 Water cooperation and diplomacy processes often rely on the tools and capacities that academic and research institutions can offer. However, groups of scientific experts in the field of water cooperation and diplomacy are often small and relatively discrete, suggesting that greater sharing of knowledge and interconnection of expertise could generate further impetus for development of this important theoretical and applied academic field. With this understanding, a network of academic institutions working on water diplomacy and cooperation called Universities’ Partnership for Water Cooperation and Diplomacy was established in 2018, and the same year it was presented at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. This opinion article discusses the role that academic and scientific institutions play in water diplomacy and cooperation, and reflects on the contribution that partners of the Universities’ Partnership can jointly make to further the cause of water cooperation and diplomacy.

Title: Modelling water stress vulnerability in small Andean basins: case study of Campoalegre River basin, Colombia
Abstract: 
 The Campoalegre River basin and its sub-basins present water-use conflicts. This study seeks to analyze these conflicts using a disaggregated quantitative approach, so as to better understand existing and potential water stress. We find that the estimated future flows are not sufficient to meet future demand, which will create significant water stress, particularly in certain sub-basins. A tool is provided for decision makers to identify potential future water conflicts, as well as strategies to reduce system vulnerability. This study is relevant for other watersheds where pressure on water resources may intensify due to increased water demands.

Title: Moving water from last to first in the Middle East peace process
Abstract: 
 Differences about fresh water rarely if ever lead to war between neighbouring nations. However, lack of agreement about equitable water use will sooner or later disrupt water management systems. Similarly, unless fresh water is managed sustainably by both nations, their social and economic development will lag, with ultimate effects on any peace agreement. This Viewpoint describes an existing proposal for joint approaches by Israel and Palestine to managing their transboundary water, as well as current unilateral actions by the two governments that work against equitable and sustainable water management.

Title: Water resources and textile maquilas in Tehuacán
Abstract: 
 One of the effects of industrial relocation is environmental deterioration, as more contaminating stages of production which involve greater use of natural resources are relocated to developing countries. Through the case of Tehuacán, we look at the impact of the global on local political-institutional and social-environmental factors. The establishment of textile maquilas intensified contamination and led to over-exploitation, especially of water. To understand the conflicts of interest that were produced in this process, we look at their consequences and identify key factors: displacement of the indigenous population, domination of the textile industry and the conversion of Tehuacán into a ‘maquila city’.

Title: Governing international regime complexes through multi-level governance mechanisms: lessons from water, forestry and migration policy
Abstract: 
 Why do international regime complexes develop? Are hard-law regimes effective in integrating regime complexes for international water resources management? Are there other alternatives? This article introduces international regime complexes and argues that these form a superior alternative to hard law and traditional global integrated regimes for many global policy issues. Failure of hard law to overcome fragmentation and generate integrated policy outcomes in international forestry, migration and water resource management is presented. Additional insights are drawn from two successful cases of water management in North America to argue for international regime complexes for better multi-level governance at the regional level.

Title: Improved water management is central to solving the water-energy-food trilemma in Lao PDR
Abstract: 
 Relying on published literature, we reviewed water-energy-food issues in Lao PDR in the context of a policy shift to more sustainable ‘green growth’ and significantly increased infrastructure investment resulting from China’s Belt and Road Initiative. The BRI provides the prospect for the country to address its infrastructure deficit and transform from a ‘land-locked’ to a ‘land-linked’ country. However, great care is needed to ensure that future investments do not result in further environmental degradation and harm to communities. An integrated ‘nexus’ approach, in which enhanced water management is central, is a prerequisite for more inclusive and sustainable development.

Title: Meaningful engagement with Indigenous peoples: a case study of Ontario’s Great Lakes Protection Act
Abstract: 
 While governments in Canada have a duty to act honourably in the development of legislative actions that may affect Aboriginal or treaty rights, Indigenous peoples’ input and knowledge have largely been excluded from the process. The Ontario provincial government recently sought to remedy this failure by engaging with Indigenous groups in the development and implementation of the Great Lakes Protection Act. Using qualitative data, this article explores the successes, challenges and lessons learned during Crown–Indigenous engagement in the development of this Act. The article concludes with recommendations on ways to strengthen processes of engagement between government and Indigenous groups.

Title: Three Gorges Project: benefits and challenges for shipping development in the upper Yangtze River
Abstract: 
 The Three Gorges Project has benefited shipping development in the upper Yangtze River by improving the waterway channel and thus increasing ship load and port handling capacity. However, the Three Gorges lockage freight volume exceeded the designed capacity in 2011 (19 years sooner than expected), becoming a bottleneck for shipping development. For the predicted freight volume, building of a second ship lock with transit capacity of 150 million tons is suggested, and before it is built, ship organization should be optimized to increase transit capacity.

Title: Rethinking livelihood resilience after development-induced displacement and resettlement: a case study of Qianping Reservoir
Abstract: 
 To explore the livelihood problems following development-induced displacement and resettlement, this article selects 234 affected families of the Qianping Reservoir in China and builds a livelihood resilience inferred measurement model to assess and verify their livelihood resilience. The research shows that households that have a reasonable income structure or that resettled near their original residence have higher livelihood resilience. Moreover, the proportion of agricultural income and physical capital have the most significant impact on livelihood resilience compared with other socio-economic indicators. These findings can help individuals make better preparations in advance and guide governments to do well in assistance after resettlement.

Title: Small-scale irrigation expansion along the dam-regulated Tekeze River in Northern Ethiopia
Abstract: 
 Based on extensive field information, farmer-led small-scale irrigation systems along the dam-regulated Tekeze River is investigated and the likelihood of future irrigation expansion within the area with modelled potential is discussed, considering facilitating and hampering factors. Due to dam-induced hydrologic alterations, downstream socio-ecological systems have strongly transformed as the irrigated area has quadrupled and the post-dam potential for perennial crop cultivation has attracted numerous migrant investors to the area, inducing inequalities but also providing opportunities. Future dam construction should involve tailored policy interventions to facilitate irrigation expansion, while safeguarding equal and sustainable access to water and land.

Title: Alternative solutions for long missing streamflow data for sustainable water resources management
Abstract: 
 Sustainable water resources management requires long time series of streamflow data. In this study, a Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy rule-based (FRB) model is developed to reconstruct long periods of missing daily streamflow data which is a common problem in developing countries. The FRB model uses observations of neighbouring stream gauges, and thus is advantageous regarding data and time requirement compared to physical models. With the proper set of inputs, the FRB model provides better estimates than the hydrological model at two of the studied four stream gauges in the Meric–Ergene Basin. Filling long data-gaps with FRB models will facilitate the development of realistic water management strategies.

Title: Modelling water resources for planning irrigation development in drought-prone southern Chile
Abstract: 
 To foster poverty reduction in drought-prone Araucanía, the Chilean Irrigation Commission is planning an important expansion of irrigated areas. Scenarios incorporating climate change (2030–2059) were simulated for a pilot basin using the WEAP water allocation model, showing that larger irrigated areas, coupled with higher temperatures and less precipitation, are likely to cause severe seasonal water scarcity. As decision support for the planning of effective measures to increase drought resilience, we modelled the construction of two upstream reservoirs combined with higher irrigation efficiency. We find that unmet water demand can be reduced by up to 97.7% by these measures.

Title: Acceptance of direct potable water reuse for domestic purposes: evidence from southern Spain
Abstract: 
 Under current Spanish law, domestic use of recycled water is only permitted during an officially declared disaster; however, it could be an option from a regulatory perspective. However, would Spaniards be willing to use recycled water in the home if necessary? This study investigates the public acceptance of recycled water use in Spanish households and identifies the determinants of acceptance. In data from 791 questionnaires administered in southern Spain, recycled water is the least acceptable option for alternative sources of water, behind both rainwater collection and desalination. Perceived health risk and environmental awareness explain the differences in acceptance.

Title: Drivers of profitability and productivity growth in the English and Welsh water industry since privatization
Abstract: 
 In this article we investigate the relationship between productivity and profitability, and their drivers: changes in outputs, output and input prices, technical change, technical efficiency change, and scale and mark-up effects. We apply profit decomposition to the water and sewerage companies in England and Wales in 1991–2016. We find that over this period their profit and productivity increased by 4% and 2.5% per year, respectively. Technical change, scale and mark-up effects, and output and input prices contributed positively to profit growth, while the impact of technical efficiency change, although positive, was small.

Title: Water futures along China's Belt and Road Initiative in Central Asia
Abstract: 
 China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is anticipated to have wide-ranging impacts on the countries of Central Asia. This includes a significant impact to a complex and fragile water resources landscape, and the closely entwined economic, social, environmental and political context. Water resources considerations are currently not explicit in BRI policies or proposals, despite the vast variety of ways in which the initiative may interact with and influence these dynamics. This article presents an early examination of the key trade-offs and interdependencies across water management in the BRI and it includes recommendations to mitigate detrimental impact and promote sustainable delivery for the future.

Title: Fixing agricultural power tariff without hurting farmers
Abstract: 
 Removal of power subsidies in the agriculture sector has been a very contentious issue in India for decades. Free power and tariffs based on the connected load create incentives for farmers to use groundwater excessively and inefficiently. We argue that a pro rata tariff for electricity in the farm sector that reduces the demand for electricity and irrigation water will not only be socio-economically viable but also improve farm economy and the viability of the power sector. We also propose the use of information and communications technology to reduce the transaction cost of metering of agro wells.

Title: Managing impacts of extreme hydrological events on urban water services: the Australian experience
Abstract: 
 Australia experiences a wide range and increasing incidence of extreme hydrological events, including step changes in stream flows, extreme drought, bushfires followed by heavy rain, and storm events, which impact water availability and water quality. This article discusses the management of these events in the provision of water services in urban Australia. These events are being actively and effectively managed by large water service providers, covering around 80% of the population. But the experience for the remaining 20% is mixed, with smaller service providers often struggling to meet community expectations. This suggests a need for further governance reforms.

Title: Water savings from urban infrastructure improvement and wastewater reuse: evidence from Jordan
Abstract: 
 Jordan is extremely water scarce, making careful water resources planning and management essential. This study considers the water-supply-enhancing effects of a significant urban investment, the Jordan Compact, that supports Jordan’s national objective of enhanced water reuse and efficiency. Analysis using a Water Evaluation and Planning model suggests that the Compact generated substantial water savings (averaging 7–8 MCM/y), easing shortages in urban Zarqa and Amman, as well as among irrigators in the Jordan Valley. Though the impacts appear to have fallen short of pre-Compact expectations, policy makers should consider similar improvements to ease water constraints, while incentivizing efficient water utilization.

Title: Cybercrime, cybersecurity and water utilities
Abstract: 
 A total of 20 known cases of cybercrime attacks on water utilities have been seen in five countries between 2000 and 2021, with a steady increase in their frequency. The actual number of cyberattacks is higher, with 40 recorded in the United States in 2014–15. It is chiefly driven by organized crime and hostile state actors, along with disgruntled former employees. Vulnerabilities occur because of utilities adopting supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems without appropriate cybersecurity measures along with staff who have properly trained to be aware of phishing attacks. Threats such as these highlight the need for water utilities to have a comprehensive risk management system in operation.

Title: Territory in conflict: land dispossession, water grabbing and mobilization for environmental justice in southern Spain
Abstract: 
 This paper analyses the socio-territorial conflict prompted by Los Merinos: a residential–tourism project constructed in an ecological reserve that is vital to Andalusian livelihoods. It examines disputes concerning discourses, authorities and rules in order to understand the struggle over land and water. Using the echelons of rights analysis (ERA) framework, the paper scrutinizes the multiscale forces and strategies adopted by business and opposing movement networks in order to shape territory, thereby engaging local and supra-local governments. The authors’ political–ecology lens on environmental justice and territorialization enhances the understanding of the relevance of social movements in contesting the misappropriation of socio-natural environments.

Title: Impacts of climate change on the flow of the transboundary Koshi River, with implications for local irrigation
Abstract: 
 This study assesses climate change impacts on the hydrological regime of a river basin and its implications for future irrigation water availability in the Koshi River basin using RCPs 4.5 and 8.5 over short-term (2016-2045), mid-century (2036-2065) and end-of-century (2071-2100) periods. Average flow in the Koshi River is projected to increase. Projections of average minimum monthly river flow suggest that the areas of winter wheat and monsoon paddy rice could be increased. However, the planting period of paddy rice should be delayed by one month (July to August) to capture the expected increased water availability in the river.

Title: Environmental benefits from water reuse combined with managed aquifer recharge in the Flemish dunes (Belgium)
Abstract: 
 The Intermunicipal Water Company of Veurne-Ambacht (IWVA) started reusing wastewater effluent for infiltration in its dune water catchment, St-André, in 2002. The treatment train at the Water Production Centre Torreele is based on a multiple-barrier approach with submerged ultrafiltration prior to reverse osmosis. The project improved the ecological values of the dunes. Recently, during longer periods of drought, the combination of reuse and managed aquifer recharge proved more robust than conventional drinking water production sites: groundwater levels at St-André remained high enough to ensure drinking water production and protect its quality. IWVA’s experience shows that water reuse can help mitigate the impact of climate change.

Title: Impounded rivers, compounded injustice: contesting the social impacts of hydraulic development in Laos
Abstract: 
 Laos has rapidly expanded its hydraulic infrastructure, creating profound environmental, economic and social ruptures. We combine frameworks of environmental justice with political ecology to examine the multiple expressions of water injustice evident in three hydropower project case studies involving resettlement. We find that livelihood restoration measures have not ameliorated, but reproduced underlying problems of poverty, inequity, exclusion and coercive expressions of social injustice. These are viewed as the structural outcomes of political choices. We conclude that there is little potential for a water justice paradigm in Laos without significant reforms to the national frameworks for water governance and human rights.

Title: Murky waters: the impact of privatizing water use on environmental degradation and the exclusion of local communities in the Caribbean
Abstract: 
 The effects of climate change on tropical ecosystems cannot be interpreted based on physical variables alone. Severe water shortages and deterioration of ecosystems are most acute in places where historical inequalities occur, such as unequal access to land and other goods and rights necessary for the livelihood of marginalized populations. This paper explores environmental transformations and their repercussions on water resources based on spatial analysis and fieldwork carried out in the Colombian Caribbean. We have engaged with peasant and Afro-descendant populations who have been excluded from water use and now face problems in sustaining their way of life.

Title: Water colonialism and Indigenous water justice in south-eastern Australia
Abstract: 
 Political theorists argue that justice for cultural groups must account for socioeconomic distribution, political representation and cultural recognition. Combining this tripartite justice framework with settler colonial theory, we analyse novel data sets relating to Aboriginal peoples’ water experiences in south-eastern Australia. We construe persistent injustices as ‘water colonialism’, showing that the development of Australia’s water resources has so far delivered little economic benefit to Aboriginal peoples, who remain marginalized from decision-making. We argue that justice theories need to encompass a fourth dimension – the vitally important socio-ecological realm – if they are to serve as conceptual resources for advancing Indigenous peoples’ rights and needs.

Title: Bending towards water justice: pathways for truth, reconciliation, inclusion and transformative actions
Abstract: 
 We summarize the key contributions to a special issue on water justice. We contend that there is no inevitable arc of history that bends towards justice. Water justice will only be achieved by the collective actions of individuals, institutions and communities working together with a commitment to common goals and the means to effect change. We urge all who ponder on the issues of water justice, and who read and consider the stories in this special issue, to take the next critical step to become part of the solution, and in solidarity with others, to deliver a better water world.

Title: Perceptions of Tanzanian smallholder irrigators on impact pathways between water equity and socioeconomic inequalities
Abstract: 
 Irrigation is promoted as a critical strategy for rural welfare, yet fundamental questions prevail on the linkages between water, equity and inequality. Applying mixed-methods, this study investigates the impact pathways whereby water inequities are associated with socioeconomic inequalities within two Tanzanian smallholder irrigation schemes. According to irrigators’ perceptions, greater water equity would benefit the poor through improved working conditions, productivity, reliability and reduced risk. Quantitative analyses corroborate that water-dissatisfied irrigators suffered from lower yields and higher unproductive land, investment losses and yield gaps. Education, empowerment and strong governance are proposed as possible avenues towards greater water equity and inclusive growth.

Title: Water and land justice for Indigenous communities in the Lowbidgee Floodplain of the Murray–Darling Basin, Australia
Abstract: 
 In Australia’s Murray–Darling Basin, efforts to restore water justice for the environment have focused on environmental flows for natural values of wetlands and floodplains. But there has also been an emergence of collaborative partnerships between environmental water managers and First Nations community organizations to water ‘Country’. The A$180 million Gayini Nimmie-Caira water-saving project saw the New South Wales and Australian governments purchase 19 properties on the Lowbidgee Floodplain, together with associated water rights, with the aim of delivering environmental flows, protecting First Nations cultural heritage and ensuring long-term sustainable land management. A consortium of environmental non-governmental organizations, First Nations and scientific organizations successfully tendered for the long-term management of the 88,000 ha property, Gayini Nimmie-Caira. This case study is used here to discuss water (and land) justice from the perspective of the Nari Nari people, the Traditional Custodians of Gayini Nimmie-Caira and the applicability of this model to other regions.

Title: Informality and water justice: community perspectives on water issues in Cape Town’s low-income neighbourhoods
Abstract: 
 Cape Town’s water injustices are entrenched by the mismatch between government interventions and the lived realities in many informal settlements and other low-income areas. This transdisciplinary study draws on over 300 stories from such communities, showing overwhelming frustration with the municipality’s inability to address leaking pipes, faulty bills and poor sanitation. Cape Town’s interventions typically rely on technical solutions that tend to ignore or even exacerbate the complex social problems on the ground. Water justice requires attention be paid to the range of everyday realities that exist in the spectrum from formal to informal settlements.

Title: Water justice and Europe’s Right2Water movement
Abstract: 
 In 2013 the European Citizens’ Initiative (ECI) ‘Right2Water’ collected 1.9 million signatures across Europe against water privatization. It became the first ever successful ECI and has built a Europe-wide movement. Right2Water sought for Europe’s legal enforcement of the Human Right to Water and Sanitation (HRWS) as a strategic political tool to challenge European Union market policies. The paper examines the ECI from a social movement perspective. Although the European Commission subscribed that ‘water is a public good, not a commodity’, its implementation is subject to continuing politics and socio-political struggle, with growing urgency in times of the Covid-19 pandemic crisis.

Title: Law versus justice: the Strategic Aboriginal Water Reserve in the Northern Territory, Australia
Abstract: 
 Using a policy tracing approach, we analyse the legislating of the Strategic Aboriginal Water Reserve (SAWR) in the Northern Territory, Australia. The SAWR is a share of the consumptive pool allocated to eligible Indigenous landowners in water plan areas, providing water resources for future economic development. Drawing on parliamentary and policy sources to reveal competing interests and ideologies, and the challenges of codifying water rights, this study finds that legislating water rights alone is insufficient to achieve water justice – water justice measures must respond to power imbalances and inequities by empowering people with the capabilities to implement their rights.

Title: Adequate, resilient and sustainable: how to run a water utility in a pandemic
Abstract: 
 Water utilities, be they public companies, state owned or departments inside city halls, are famously stolid businesses. Processing tap water or treating wastewater is just not very exciting stuff. The still raging Covid global pandemic, though, has cast a spotlight on water utilities all over the world. As producers of a commodity and purveyors of a service essential to the upkeep of public health, water utilities large and small are suddenly the centre of attention. The smooth running and assured continuation of their operations, usually taken for granted, is also under extra scrutiny.

Title: Direct delivery of electricity subsidy to farmers in Punjab: will it help conserve groundwater?
Abstract: 
 The article argues that the recently introduced model for the direct delivery of an energy subsidy to well-irrigators in Indian Punjab aimed at incentivizing them to conserve electricity and groundwater is on a weak conceptual footing. Energy quota based on connected load will only lead to the resource-rich appropriating the subsidy benefits. Reduced use of well water to irrigate paddy will not arrest depletion as a large proportion of that water returns to the aquifer. The article suggests some institutional alternatives for bringing about long-term changes in the groundwater balance of Punjab based on sound water-use hydrology and the use of technology and market forces.

Title: Developing a socio-psychological model explaining farmers’ income diversification in response to groundwater scarcity in Iran
Abstract: 
 Income diversification is an essential livelihood strategy for farmers facing unsustainable groundwater withdrawals. This paper develops a general structural equation model that analyses socio-psychological factors that affect the intentions to adopt and the actual adoption of income diversification in response to groundwater scarcity. The developed model includes affective attitudes, instrumental attitudes and self-efficacy. This model explains 55% and 36% of the variance in intentions to pursue and the actual pursuit of income diversification among farmers in the Rafsanjan Plain, Iran, respectively. These results can inform policies for promoting income diversification, and have implications for sustaining farmers’ livelihoods and groundwater resources.

Title: Thayer Scudder’s Four Stage Framework, water resources dispossession and appropriation: the Kariba case
Abstract: 
 This article considers how the colonial British government’s appropriation of the Kariba Dam historically excluded the BaTonga people from accessing the dam’s resources. Dispossession and appropriation of the Kariba Dam resulted in the impoverishment of the BaTonga of north-western Zimbabwe. In this study, impoverishment of the BaTonga is understood in relation to their failure to adequately reach Thayer ‘Ted’ Scudder’s stages 3 and 4 of the Four Stages Framework (FSF) of successful resettlement. The article argues that when people are denied access to reservoirs and their resources for both religious and socioeconomic reasons, they hardly pass through the four stages adequately. The article is based on ethnographic research and extensive document analysis conducted among the BaTonga between April and October 2017.

Title: President Biden′s Infrastructure Plan: Does it address needs of water systems in the United States?
Abstract: 
 President Joe Biden’s US$2.3 trillion infrastructure proposal in 2021 includes physical and social investments, but water systems would receive only about 5% of the total. Drinking water and wastewater systems would see a modest increase, but the US$45 billion to replace lead service lines is new. No new investments in dams and waterways were proposed. Negotiations illustrate the politicized unified budget system of the United States with differing philosophies of political parties. Ultimately, the message for water infrastructure in the United States is about the need to persevere in messaging to the public and policymakers about the continuing need for investments.

Title: Approaching obsolescence? A multi-criteria analysis of high-risk dams in the United States Pacific Northwest
Abstract: 
 This research uses a multi-criteria analysis tool and field site observation to critically analyse a network of dams across a single watershed in the US Pacific Northwest. The analysis offers a template to better understand some nuances and complexities involved in decision-making leading to relicensing, retrofitting or decommissioning of both powered and non-powered structures. The study focuses on 13 dams in Oregon’s Willamette River Basin Reservoir System, where the average age of structures is 62 years, exceeding a national mean of 57 years. Research outcomes can inform stakeholders who make decisions regarding America’s high-risk dam network as it rapidly approaches obsolescence.

Title: Addressing aquifer overexploitation with desalinated seawater: an economic assessment of alternatives in south-eastern Spain
Abstract: 
 Spanish authorities have proposed providing external resources to substitute for non-renewable groundwater withdrawals in the south-eastern Murcia Plateau, which would require building new water infrastructure. This article assesses the supply costs and the economic impact of two alternatives, one based on supplying desalinated seawater and the other based on supplying water from the Tagus–Segura Transfer, with an innovative scheme to exchange it for desalinated seawater. It is found that farmers cannot afford the cost of either alternative. Authorities face the dilemma of either strongly subsidizing the external water supply, beyond what seems reasonable, or facing a disproportionate impact on the local economy.

Title: Which farms drill during drought? The influence of farm size and crop type
Abstract: 
 Excessive groundwater extraction is exacerbated by worsening droughts under climate change. Among agricultural users, well-drilling activity is not evenly distributed. The number, diameter and depth of new agricultural wells were analysed in this study in relation to farm size and land cover class during California’s 2012–16 extreme drought. The results show smaller farms drilled at higher rates, whereas larger farms drilled at comparatively greater depths and with wider wellbores. Sections dominated by permanent crops drilled at 2.4 times the rate of those dominated by annual crops, and at 24.7 times the rate of forest and rangeland dominated sections.

Title: Flood protection by embankments in the Brahmani–Baitarani river basin, India: a risk-based approach
Abstract: 
 Determining optimum flood protection levels is challenging in data-poor environments typical of developing countries. This study develops a risk-modelling approach to calculate current flood risks for a predominantly agricultural area in the Brahmani–Baitarani river basin in India. A combined hydrological–hydraulic model is developed together with a damage model to analyse the economic efficiency of different safety levels of embankments. The results show that more than 90% of the total flood risk would be controlled with embankments giving a protection level of once in 25 years. The study illustrates the feasibility of a relatively basic flood-risk analysis that can be applied at pre-feasibility level in a data-poor environment.

Title: Developing a best-practice model for water and wastewater services in informal urban settlements in Tanzania
Abstract: 
 This research proposes a model for enhancing the pro-poor water supply and provision of sanitation services in informal urban settlements in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The model was developed from semi-structured interviews, a rigorous literature content analysis of best-practice case studies and application of the Policy Transfer Framework. Development and adoption of a long-term strategy to mobilize financial resources and guide the water sector to develop pro-poor plans were key recommendations. While not a panacea, it is hoped that adoption of the model would significantly improve the current water supply and sanitation service delivery to informal urban settlements Dar es Salaam.

Title: Understanding the challenges governing Malawi’s water, sanitation and hygiene sector
Abstract: 
 This paper explores the extent to which Malawi’s national water, sanitation and hygiene (WaSH) sector programmes align with the lived realities of Malawian people through interviews, observations and a review of secondary documents. Significant progress is unquestionably being made, but there are dangers in momentary achievements being romanticized, and under-capacity in shaping cultural practices, investing and maintaining longevity and sustainability of available infrastructures. We argue that managing the sector towards statistical summaries serves to confound well-intentioned governance frameworks and compliance regimes ultimately leaving behind a large proportion of the population without access to basic drinking water or improved sanitation.

Title: Governing groundwater excess: insights from a failed collaborative process in Delft, the Netherlands
Abstract: 
 Groundwater governance tends to be concerned with problems of over-extraction and pollution. Groundwater excess, which is increasingly becoming a problem in many places around the world, has largely been ignored. This article discusses groundwater excess and particularly the governance approach for engaging with groundwater excess. By discussing a case study in the Netherlands, we argue that groundwater excess has a varied impact on different actors. This varied impact and the fact that the legal framework largely ignores groundwater excess presents a significant challenge for governing groundwater resources.

Title: Scenario simulation of water resources development and utilization based on a system dynamics model
Abstract: 
 This paper establishes a quantitative model based on the system dynamics (SD) theory to reflect the ‘socioeconomic–water–environment’ coupling system and proposes three future development scenarios. Hubei province, China, is selected to verify this model. The simulation results from 2020 to 2030 demonstrate that the pressures of water supply and demand and pollution under the sustainable development scenario are less than those under two other scenarios. It means that adjustment of the industrial structure has a relatively weaker effect on alleviating the pressure of water supply and demand. Saving water and controlling pollution should be the emphasis of current efforts.

Title: Exploring discursive hydropolitics: a conceptual framework and research agenda
Abstract: 
 Much has been written on hydropolitics, or on the interplays between transboundary water resource issues and politics. This article builds on recent calls for more research on the role of discourses in shaping hydropolitics. We propose a conceptual framework, inspired by critical discourse analysis, for the systematic investigation of how discursive practices construct and enact actors’ power positions in transboundary basin governance. Our framework’s added value lies in the typology of discourses we develop – that is, dominant, institutionalized, hegemonic and sanctioned – for a more precise analysis of discursive hydropolitics. We formulate a research agenda to operationalize our perspective on discursive hydropolitics and lay the groundwork for future empirical research.

Title: Irrigation development and equity implications: the case of India
Abstract: 
 This paper examines the inequity in irrigation distribution in India using a variant of Theil’s entropy measure for the period 1995–2010. The analysis reveals that the level of inequity in irrigation distribution has increased over time. Inequity has declined in canal, tank and well-irrigated systems and increased in the tube well-irrigated system. Decomposition analysis revealed that regional disparities have declined in all sources of irrigation except for tube wells. The role of property rights to groundwater, groundwater markets, energy pricing policy and competitive deepening of wells in worsening the inequity in access to groundwater resources is also discussed.

Title: Understanding the decision-making structures, roles and actions of village-level water committees in Fiji
Abstract: 
 As part of a community-based project on water-related disease in Fiji, we conducted a qualitative study to assess the decision-making structures, roles and actions of village-level water committees. Village water committees played a role in the management, operation and maintenance of water and sanitation infrastructure. Reactive and proactive management approaches were both present. The water committees had clear processes in place for decision-making and membership and were influenced by social and cultural norms. Men dominated water committee membership, roles and decision-making. Knowledge about governance structures and processes can be used to strengthen systems for water committees to effectively manage water access and security.

Title: Water demand management strategies in fast-growing cities. The case of Arequipa, Perú
Abstract: 
 Using a socioenvironmental perspective, this paper analyses strategies of water demand management (WDM) in Arequipa, Peru, and their perception by residents through a survey of six city districts (three in the core and three on the periphery) complemented with interviews with key stakeholders. The results show significant differences in WDM. Strategies to reduce demand through pricing are dominant. Domestic water-saving technologies are uncommon, and awareness campaigns are limited to periods of water stress. Despite differences in water access, improvements in water networks (leak repair, adequate water pressure and continuous supply) are the most demanded actions by residents.

Title: Willingness of farmers to use treated wastewater for irrigation in the West Bank, Palestine
Abstract: 
 Limited water resources are among the main obstacles to development in Palestine. This research investigates farmers’ perceptions and willingness to use treated wastewater (TWW) for irrigation. Despite the availability of large quantities of TWW, just 11% of the interviewed farmers use it in irrigation. Just 24% of them confirmed that they had participated in awareness workshops related to TWW, but 75% stated they would be willing to use TWW for irrigation. We find that the main obstacles to the use of TWW in irrigation are availability of freshwater, non-availability of TWW and psychological aversion.

Title: Getting the irrigation statistics right
Abstract: 
 This study examines the importance of generating proper water accounts for large gravity-based irrigation schemes in order to assess scheme performance. It shows how the use of simplistic criteria used to assess the performance of gravity-based irrigation schemes can lead to an underestimation of the role they play in enhancing food security and agricultural production in countries such as India, which has established a huge network of irrigation canals. The paper offers specific suggestions on improving irrigation statistics that, in turn, can help in better evaluation of the returns on investments of public surface irrigation schemes.

Title: Making a water market intermediary: the China Water Exchange
Abstract: 
 Market intermediaries play a crucial role in stitching together necessary actors for effective systems of exchange. However, there is limited understanding of how intermediaries emerge, and contribute to, water market development. This article explains how the China Water Exchange, the country’s first and only national-level water trading platform, was catalysed by a top-down imperative consistent with China’s water governance reform path. It shows how its genesis, objectives and functions reflect the congruence of goals between its key actors, and their struggles and efforts to build trust. Our focus on interorganizational dynamics adds a new perspective to understanding water market intermediaries.

Title: Political participation and small-scale fishery management in the Tonlé Sap, Cambodia
Abstract: 
 This paper investigates fishery governance in Tonlé Sap, Cambodia, with a specific focus on fishery management since 1963 and recent determinants of political participation. The research suggests that the policy reforms leading to the implementation of open-access fisheries have not produced satisfactory outcomes due to inequitable access to fishery resources. The results of statistical analyses reveal: the dependency of small-scale fisherfolk on fishery resources; the level of institutional support available to small-scale fisherfolk; the capacity of the local community; and the important roles fishery management initiatives play in determining the level of political participation in fishery governance.

Title: Governance conditions to overcome the challenges of realizing safe urban bathing water sites
Abstract: 
 This study aims to identify governance conditions to realize urban bathing water sites using case study material from two cities in the Netherlands. Urban waters in Europe are increasingly considered an attractive feature for bathing, but research on the realization of urban bathing water sites has been limited. We find that it is important to account for the connectivity between water systems characteristics and governance conditions to increase effectiveness in the realization of urban bathing water sites. Ambitions regarding urban bathing water sites should be addressed in a wider policy context to create co-benefits, like other ambitions related to water quality, resilience and health. An analytical framework has been developed that could be used to support development and evaluation of future urban bathing water initiatives.

Title: Scalar configuration, power strategies and water governance: insights from the politics of the Yangtze-to-Huai Water Transfer Project
Abstract: 
 The paper studies the decision-making process of the Yangtze-to-Huai Water Transfer Project (YHWTP) in China to explore how governments at various levels and the public respond to spatial and jurisdictional ambiguities inherent in the incomplete decentralization of water governance. Through participatory observations, semi-structured interviews and investigation of historical records of the project, we examine scalar strategies adopted by various groups at different stages. We find that within China’s regionally decentralized authoritarian regime under centralized regulation, the scalar configurations as a result of the scalar strategies produce material consequence in the planning, designing and construction of inter-basin transfer projects. The use of such strategies transforms the existing scalar configuration, which provides a basis for further changes in the power structure.

Title: How does the Chinese government improve connectivity in water governance? A qualitative systematic review
Abstract: 
 This article presents a qualitative systematic review of English-language academic articles on approaches adopted by the Chinese government to overcome fragmentation and disconnection in water governance. We find that the Chinese government has deployed technical, institutional and discursive instruments, ranging from ‘hard’ to ‘soft’ ways, to improve connectivity between different administrative levels, functional agencies and territorially based units. Although these approaches are conducive to reconciling conflicts, boosting collaboration and bridging gaps in interjurisdictional, cross-level and cross-sectoral interactions, they also have unexpected implications for cost-effectiveness, practicality and sustainability.

Title: Explaining the sustained public participation of ENGOs in China’s water governance: A case study of the ‘civilian river chiefs’ under the theoretical framework of ‘double embeddedness’
Abstract: 
 Although essential to successful environmental governance, public participation has been sporadic and fragmented in China. Drawing on in-depth interviews conducted in the southern Chinese cities of Shenzhen and Guangzhou, this paper explores how environmental non-governmental organizations (ENGOs) have carried out ‘civilian river chiefs’ projects as novel approaches to water governance. We propose a framework of ‘double embeddedness’, within which ENGOs have built political and social legitimacy, reciprocity, and networks that enable their sustained participation in water governance. Our findings suggest that new patterns of state–community–non-governmental organization relationships are key to understanding public participation in China’s future environmental governance.

Title: On dynamic naturalness, static regulation and human influence in the Ems-Dollard estuary
Abstract: 
 Many river systems in Europe have altered morphology and deteriorated ecosystems due to human interference. We demonstrate how conflicting interests of nature, society and economics in the Dutch–German Ems-Dollard system complicate achieving the nature restoration targeted by the EU Water Framework Directive. This article provides a multidisciplinary perspective on the natural characteristics of a water system and the practical implementation of regulation and policy in a transboundary setting. Important shortcomings of EU and national laws and directives are the static constraints for protection of demarcated habitats under EU directives, which do not do justice to natural hydro-morphodynamic processes.

Title: The selective centralization in decentralization: China’s environmental vertical management reform with a case study in Hebei province
Abstract: 
 This article examines why and how China’s environmental vertical management reform has been carried out and how well it helps to improve the implementation of local policies. By applying the theoretical framework of ‘dynamics, strategy, and capacities’ in Hebei province as a case, the changes in the policy process have been fully revealed. The article concludes that the reform shows the character of selective centralization in decentralization, which facilitates the establishment of a degree of standardization in policy implementation. However, a new phenomenon of ‘selective implementation’ has been spotted which severely distorts the actual results of this reform.

Title: The politics of practical implementation: reloading of information by competing coalitions in EU water governance
Abstract: 
 More open European Union policies, such as the Water Framework Directive (WFD), are often shaped on the go. ‘Bottom-up’ feedback from the implementing agencies plays an important role. How this feedback influences ongoing policies is here conceptualized as ‘reloading’. The case for the reuse of water is presented. International coalition-building proved to be important in agencies’ strategic behaviour: a clear dichotomy between Northern and Southern member states is distinguished. The receptiveness of the European Commission, the openness of the European Union policies, and societal and political attention to the issue of reuse all explain the changes in water reuse policy.

Title: The dying oasis: a macro analysis of tank irrigation in Andhra Pradesh, India
Abstract: 
 Tanks are the important traditional source of irrigation in India. They are a low-cost source with fewer management problems, but their performance has been deteriorating over the years. Using time-series data from the periods 1960–61 to 2013–14, this paper analyses the performance of tank irrigation across the districts, regions and categories of farmers in Andhra Pradesh, India. The study shows that districts that traditionally had a large tank irrigated area have registered a sharp reduction in that area. A substantial reduction in tank irrigated area is found in the Rayalaseema region where tanks are critical for farming. Correlation analysis suggests a significantly negative impact of groundwater area on tank irrigated area in most districts.

Title: License to drill: Typology of groundwater use regulations in agriculture of Uzbekistan
Abstract: 
 Global warming, deteriorating water infrastructure and transboundary factors are threatening Uzbekistan’s long-term surface water supply. Groundwater is a potential alternative for irrigation purposes. Little research is available about how farmers in Uzbekistan use groundwater for irrigation, and how formal regulations are implemented on the ground. Based on semi-structured, qualitative interviews with farmers and experts in Uzbekistan, we provide a typology of groundwater regulation, exploring the use of licences, quotas and prices that offers a structured overview of agricultural groundwater use. We further highlight how electricity is used as a proxy resource to implement groundwater regulation on the ground.

Title: Service differentiation as an improvement strategy for access to water in urban low-income areas: evidence from three Kenyan cities
Abstract: 
 In dealing with the challenges associated with water supply in urban low-income areas, water utilities are increasingly adopting service differentiation, which revolves around servicing different customer groups with different supply modalities. This article examines how such differentiation through the use of water kiosks and yard taps satisfies the water needs of consumers in low-income areas in three Kenyan cities. Based on an analysis of the reliability, affordability and accessibility of the water supplied, we conclude that while service differentiation has led to some improvements in access to piped connections in low-income areas, it also risks reinforcing the inequalities in access to water.

Title: Small Basin Governance scheme: linking water sector reforms and governance in the Aral Sea Basin
Abstract: 
 As river basin reforms in the countries of the Aral Sea basin gain momentum, the focus is commonly on large basins. Thus, multiple interests at the sub-basin level are largely ignored, increasing the risk for potential conflicts. This research considers inland and transboundary small river watersheds to illustrate a basin governance scheme that emerged during larger basin reforms and successfully satisfies both contexts by linking governance at multiple scales. In particular, splitting river basins into smaller hydrologic constituencies to establish sub-basin councils is found to be instrumental in enhancing overall representation, stakeholder engagement, basin planning and transboundary water cooperation.

Title: Institutional dynamics and water resource management: the case of traditional water bodies in West Bengal, India
Abstract: 
 In recent years, the adverse effects of growing water scarcity on the lives and livelihoods of poor people have become a major policy concern in India. This paper reviews the effectiveness of macro-level policies for rainwater conservation and critically examines micro-level local community institutions for the sustainable management of traditional water bodies. Using Ostrom’s design principles and qualitative data from three different multipurpose tanks, the study finds that management decisions at the local level have benefited few influential members of local communities and deprived a large number of poor households from resource uses, making the local institutions ineffective.

Title: Practicality of integrated water resources management (IWRM) in different contexts
Abstract: 
 The significance of integrated water resources management (IWRM) is broadly recognized, but practical implementation methods are little known. This paper proposes a Practical IWRM approach that has the potential to accelerate consensus-building and problem-solving relating to water resources based on the formation of an aligned perception of natural and human-made water resource systems among stakeholders, and the establishment of a properly functioning multi-stakeholder partnership (MSP). This approach was applied in four countries – Sudan, Bolivia, Indonesia and Iran – where it has worked well in different contexts, and can be an effective methodology usable elsewhere in the field.

Title: Role of knowledge in the management of groundwater-use for irrigation in micro-watersheds of semi-arid India
Abstract: 
 The micro-watershed development programme in India promotes the recharging of groundwater tables to facilitate irrigation in otherwise rainfall-dependent agricultural communities. This study investigates the potential of agricultural extension agencies in encouraging the sustainable use of the common-pool resource of groundwater through local governance. Findings suggest that extension agencies strongly influence farmers’ crop choices (a representation of irrigation use), in accordance with the proposition that knowledge dissemination on groundwater use and its impact encourages collective action (U7-SES framework). Finally, farmers with higher irrigation demand are the conduit between the extension agency and community, highlighting their potential for programme management.

Title: Desalinated drinking-water provision in water-stressed regions: challenges of consumer-perception and environmental impact lessons from Antofagasta, Chile
Abstract: 
 Desalination is increasingly popular for ensuring potable water. Using the City Blueprint Approach methodology in Antofagasta, Chile, we identify the barriers, opportunities and transferable lessons that can enhance governance capacity towards the successful implementation of desalination. Antofagasta’s desalinization programme is associated with negative water-quality perceptions, environmental impacts and high energy demands. Additionally, the supply has a moderate impeding influence on water-use efficiency efforts. Consequently, we draft a priority ladder for water provision in water-scarce regions to: ensure access; reduce consumption; apply reuse; and explore renewable water resources – and if a combination of previous steps is insufficient, desalination may be applied to meet water supply shortages.

Title: From ‘merchants and ministers’ to ‘neutral brokers’? Water diplomacy aspirations by the Netherlands – a discourse analysis of the 2011 commissioned advisory report
Abstract: 
 Water diplomacy agents typically manage tensions between promoting peace and securing self-interest. This paper conducts a discourse analysis of a commissioned policy report by a leading Netherlands think-tank that helped inform Dutch policy on water diplomacy. We first establish the importance of the report. We then identify its focus on the theme of ‘neutral broker’ and apply vocabulary analysis, argumentation analysis and metaphor analysis, together leading up to frame analysis. From this report and the larger water diplomacy literature, we propose that water diplomacy must be viewed in connection with discursive politics and trade promotion. We illustrate relevant methods for future enquiry.

Title: Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 associated with wastewater treatment: a seroprevalence study
Abstract: 
 The detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) during wastewater treatment leads to concerns about whether this process may represent a focal point for the transmission of COVID-19. An epidemiological analysis, based on a COVID-19 IgG/IgM Rapid Test Cassette, performed on 134 wastewater workers from 59 wastewater treatment plants from the province of Granada (Spain) showed a seroprevalence of 8.95% in IgG for SARS-CoV-2, which is similar to the incidence rate found for the general population of the province (9.6%; 95%CI = 7.2–12.8). These findings suggest that current safety measures are sufficient for the protection of workers against SARS-CoV-2.

Title: Local empowerment and irrigation devolution in Ethiopia
Abstract: 
 This paper investigates the effect of devolved irrigation water management systems and complementary irrigation technologies on collective empowerment in Ethiopia. We find that households’ monetary, in-kind and labour contributions for irrigation water provision and appropriation are more common in farmer-managed gravity irrigation schemes compared with farmer-managed pump systems and jointly managed schemes. The most frequent conflict occurrence was observed in jointly managed gravity irrigation systems, followed by farmer-managed gravity systems. Our results indicate that irrigation users’ degree of participation, decision-making capacity and strength of local governance are also affected by several household, plot, village, scheme and climatic factors.

Title: Hedging the risk of hydrological drought in irrigated agriculture: the role of precautionary savings
Abstract: 
 This paper explores the viability of precautionary savings as a hydrological drought risk management instrument in irrigated agriculture. To that end, first, the drought savings account (DSA) is proposed as a personal savings account to which farmers make regular contributions, with withdrawals allowed in the event of water supply gaps to guarantee a minimum income. Second, the implementation of the proposed instrument is empirically assessed in an illustrative case study using an innovative simulation approach. Results obtained suggest the DSA is actuarially sound, supporting its implementation as a cost-effective instrument to hedge hydrological drought risk.

Title: Value of groundwater to public supply in west-central Florida
Abstract: 
 This study provides a monetary value for groundwater by estimating the cost for the year 2020 to replace its use in public supply for 5 million people in west-central Florida, USA. The alternatives include building reservoirs and desalinization plants, water reuse, and conservation measures, with the most expensive being building more reservoirs at US$4.5 billion and least is conservation at US$840 million. This region’s regulators recognize the need to reduce the reliance on groundwater and have implemented programmes to promote the above alternatives. While water conservation is the most sustainable option, barriers related to policies and investment reduce the effectiveness of this approach.

Title: Reforming for resilience: delivering ‘multipurpose hydropower’ under water and energy risks
Abstract: 
 Multipurpose hydropower reservoirs are regularly framed as water security and climate change solutions. Although multipurpose projects can and do deliver a range of water services, ‘win-win’ outcomes are not guaranteed. Emerging water and energy risks are altering the net benefits from operating reservoirs to deliver hydropower generation, water supply, flood control, or other purposes. This paper shows that new hydropower governance approaches are needed to efficiently and fairly reallocate water under risks. We demonstrate that dynamic water reallocation is fundamental to the resilience of multipurpose reservoir systems and examine three potential reforms: periodic relicensing, water tariffs, and hydropower sustainability performance bonds.

Title: Perceived vs measured water supply service: evidence from New Zealand
Abstract: 
 The aim of this research was to identify correlations between measured water supply performance attributes and consumer perceptions, to provide water suppliers with an improved understanding of the significance of consumers’ perceptions. Over 1900 New Zealand potable water consumers were surveyed and their perceptions were compared with measured aggregated attributes from their water supply system or region using logit and regression models. The analysis identified significant correlations between measured and perceived performance for all attributes. The exception is perceived protection from microorganisms, where other values such as fluoride preferences and Maori values are significant.

Title: Comparative assessment of alternative water supply contributions across five data-scarce cities
Abstract: 
 Alternative water sources offer opportunities to contribute to the water supply to meet non-potable urban demand, closing water supply–demand gaps. Detailed assessments of these schemes are often data intensive, which can be a barrier in resource-scarce locations. A data-light approach is proposed and applied to assess the potential contribution of alternative water sources in five cities in the Global South, and to identify barriers preventing their widespread uptake. These barriers include perception, space, cost, home ownership and capacity constraints. This approach is applicable elsewhere, supporting assessment for city water planners/managers for preliminary planning to promote discussion on alternative sources to water security.

Title: Irrigation subsidy policy in Chile: lessons from the allocation, uneven distribution and water resources implications
Abstract: 
 Globally irrigation subsidies are utilized to boost modernization and increase irrigation efficiency. This paper examines the effects of the irrigation subsidy programme in Chile by reviewing 32 years of allocations and exploring the drivers and consequences of the subsidy programme with a clear market approach based on competition and a state risk-free strategy. Our analysis reveals that, despite the flexibility in targeting, the results indicate an uneven allocation to smallholders’ detriment, a state inability to identify farmers’ needs, market concentration and a bias towards agricultural expansion. As long as the programme remains unaltered, it will threaten agriculture and water resources’ sustainability.

Title: Reviewing the causes of Mekong drought before and during 2019–20
Abstract: 
 The Mekong region experienced severe droughts in 2019–20, generating alternative explanations of whether Chinese dams, climate or other drivers are the main causes. Reviewing academic journals, news outlets and online public discussions, we argue that it is important to address these differences in explanations not only between China and downstream countries but also including non-state actors, regional and external non-governmental organizations, media, think tanks, and research institutes to reveal the politics that frame the scientific debate on drought in the region. Data-sharing and collaborative research are needed to shift the discourse on drought towards a more systematic approach rather than focusing on politically expedient causal factors.

Title: Conventional and makeshift rainwater harvesting in rural South Africa: exploring determinants for rainwater harvesting mode
Abstract: 
 In underserved rural areas, domestic rainwater harvesting has been gaining importance as an alternative water source. In rural South Africa, however, less than 1% of households use conventional rainwater harvesting systems. Instead, a household survey in KwaZulu-Natal reveals that many households harvest rainwater in a makeshift manner, using homemade gutters and drums. Statistical analysis shows that high income, a brick house with straight gutters and good water services facilitate conventional rainwater harvesting, while a household with only round huts is easily trapped into makeshift rainwater harvesting. For upscaling rainwater harvesting in rural areas, housing types need to be considered.

Title: Scenarios for public systems transition using learning alliances: the case of water supply in Uganda
Abstract: 
 Uganda’s Vision 2040 aims to modernize rural water supply through a transition from community-managed point sources to professionally managed piped water services. At the start of the transition period, a learning alliance established in Kabarole District participated in action research to develop scenarios predicting possible future development trajectories. The diversity of its membership, whose formal institutional roles spanned national, district and niche levels, increased the robustness of the strategies proposed for the adaptively managed transition of the public water service. The learning alliance has been facilitated by a non-governmental organization providing funding and expert advice; the effectiveness of this approach is demonstrated.

Title: Carrot or stick: what motivates urban water consumption? Evidence from Southern California
Abstract: 
 California has experienced one of the most intense and prolonged droughts in its history in the last decade, prompting the state government to undertake a series of policy responses. This paper compares the impact of the 2015 urban water-use reduction mandate with respect to pre-policy voluntary conservation efforts and post-policy water consumption trends by examining utility-level water demand dynamics of the Metropolitan Water District in Southern California. The findings overall indicate that despite voluntary measures resulting in a gradual decline in urban water-use, the introduction of the regulatory stick achieved swift reduction targets that remained even after removal of the mandatory policy.

Title: Socio-spatial and seasonal dynamics of small, private water service providers in Khulna district, Bangladesh
Abstract: 
 Small water service providers operating in informal markets across the Global South address critical gaps in public investments in the rural water sector. This study analyses the growth and operations of private desalination plants and distributing vendors in Khulna, Bangladesh, within the broader landscape of uncoordinated investments by government, donors and households. Household water choices and payment behaviour vary spatially and seasonally, with observable wealth differences in self-supply investments in rainwater tanks and tubewells. Monitoring and regulating informal private providers can improve sectoral coordination, increase efficiency of service delivery and unlock commercial finances against the backdrop of declining aid-based financing.

Title: Large-scale water development in the United States: TVA and the California State Water Project
Abstract: 
 Assessments of large-scale water resources projects in two regions of the United States provide lessons about long-term outcomes. In the humid East, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) serves multiple objectives and is the largest public power enterprise in the nation. In the West, California’s State Water Project serves nearly 27 million people and some 750,000 acres of farmland with extensive infrastructure. Assessing the outcomes of such large-scale projects requires integrated analysis and involves different value propositions. The major lessons are about government actions in river basin and public power systems development and their impacts on agriculture, urban development, and a vulnerable and changing delta ecosystem.

Title: Recentralizing state power in decentralized small drinking water system governance in New Mexico, USA
Abstract: 
 We study the role of the state in small drinking water system governance in New Mexico, USA. Using interviews and demographic data, we develop a grounded theory of the political economy of public accountability in decentralized water governance. We find that the state decentralizes water governance by enforcing public accountability requirements in poor, non-white communities that do not meet its standards for drinking water provisioning. By doing so, it relieves itself of the burden of safe drinking water provisioning. We challenge the assumption that state authority is abated through decentralization and contribute to understandings of inequality in water governance.

Title: Flood risk policies in Italy: a longitudinal institutional analysis of continuity and change
Abstract: 
 This paper analyses continuity and change in flood risk management policies in Italy between 1952 and 2020. By using the politicized institutional analysis and development (IAD) framework, we systematically analyse the interplay between discursive, institutional and contextual factors to explain policy continuity and change. Italian flood risk management has traditionally been state-centred and focused on flood protection infrastructure for hazard reduction. Although shock events and European Union directives have been triggers for change, the policy shift towards a risk-based approach has been hampered by strong centralism and a hostile attitude towards the differentiation of rules and practices.

Title: Politicization of science in the Lancang–Mekong Basin: the Eyes on Earth Study
Abstract: 
 In April 2020, the Eyes on Earth published a comprehensive research study presenting new evidence about the changing dynamics of the Lancang–Mekong River water flow. The Eyes on Earth Study (EoE Study) received significant media attention and raised concerns about hydrological changes that negatively affect the downstream countries. By drawing on the politicization of science theories and using the Lancang–Mekong Cooperation and Conflict Database, we (1) provide an overview the EoE Study’s findings; (2) outline the scientific and non-scientific responses to the EoE Study’s conclusions; and (3) study various implications of the politicization of the EoE Study.

Title: Water safety management during the initial phase of the Covid-19 pandemic: challenges, responses and guidance
Abstract: 
 Water safety plans address both routine operations and incident responses to support risk management in drinking water utilities. Their use and relevance in facing the challenges of the Covid-19 crisis were investigated via a survey distributed to water utilities and health or environmental agencies across the globe. Responses from 86 respondents from 38 countries were analysed to identify the water safety challenges faced and responses. Water safety plans appear to provide some preparedness and organizational advantages to utilities in facing the Covid-19 crisis, including stronger communication links between utilities and governing agencies. Guidance for future water safety planning is provided.

Title: Water access and household economic insecurity: conceptual framework and econometric analysis applied to rural Nepal
Abstract: 
 We develop a conceptual framework to understand linkages between water access and livelihood outcomes. We apply the framework to assess factors altering the likelihood of household indebtedness in rural Nepal, using survey data and probit statistical models. Controlling for different household characteristics, results show that in Nepal’s Kamala basin, an additional month of water adequate to sustain crops decreases by 5% the likelihood that an average household in our sample reports high indebtedness. We complement our findings by discussing interacting drivers of agricultural livelihood outcomes; options to improve water availability and access; and geographical targeting of investment in water access.

Title: Success and failure factors for increasing Sub-Saharan African smallholders’ resilience to drought through water management
Abstract: 
 This article analyses the success and failure factors underlying smallholder farmers’ resilience to drought in Sub-Saharan Africa based on a literature review of the period 2007–19. The analysis is guided by transformation theory, which states that transformation requires adequate preconditions in three spheres: practical, political and personal. While significant progress has occurred in the practical sphere, only moderate change characterizes the political sphere, and the most limited progress is within the personal sphere. We argue that increasing drought resilience requires innovative solutions, including components from all transformation spheres. Interactions with local stakeholders and the empowerment of smallholder farmers are essential.

Title: The effect of information on preferences for improved household water supply in Indonesia and Nepal
Abstract: 
 Information-based interventions are increasingly used to influence preferences or behaviour. Although information does not directly influence behaviour, it is still commonly used because it is inexpensive and provides immediate impacts. The objective of this study is to compare the impacts of information provision on households’ stated preferences for improved water supply systems in Surabaya, Indonesia, and Kathmandu, Nepal. Surabaya and Kathmandu face different challenges in household water supply services. Stated preferences were elicited by using randomized conjoint analysis. In addition to the preference elicitation, the impacts of information on the willingness to pay were also estimated.

Title: Willingness to pay for fluoride-free water in Tanzania: disentangling the importance of behavioural factors
Abstract: 
 Approximately 200 million people, mainly concentrated in rural areas of the Great East African Rift Valley, suffer from fluorosis caused by excess of fluoride naturally contained in water. This study employs the RANAS (Risk, Attitude, Norm, Ability, Self-regulation) model to understand how behavioural factors influence Tanzanian rural communities’ willingness to pay for fluoride-free water obtained from a new defluoridator device. Results show that perceived risk, knowledge, attitudes and descriptive norms significantly influence the adoption of the proposed healthy behaviour. Policy implications are discussed taking into account how rural communities could achieve equitable and affordable access to safe water.

Title: Exploring the role and decision-making behaviour of irrigation water supply authorities in Australia
Abstract: 
 Water supply authorities (WSAs) can influence the behaviour of water users and are influential actors in water governance. Despite this, their decision-making processes and the details of their interactions with other water users are seldom explored empirically in water management research. We undertook an exploratory qualitative study using semi-structured interviews and purposive sampling with WSA officials across different institutions in south-eastern Australia. Thematic analysis revealed different water allocation decision-making phases and key factors influencing each phase. The findings highlight that the decisions made by WSAs are not only based on predefined rules, but are affected by many factors.

Title: Handwashing behaviour among adults in rural Vietnam: a cross-sectional mixed methods study
Abstract: 
 Rural Vietnam has seen numerous sanitation and hygiene-related interventions. However, these have produced limited improvement in handwashing with soap. This study examines handwashing with soap practices and predictors in Giong Trom, Vietnam, based on a 792-person household survey and 78 stakeholder interviews. Descriptive statistics indicate handwashing with soap remains unsatisfactory. Regression analysis reveals its association with two contextual and five socio-psychological predictors. Interviews provide further elaboration with reference to local conditions. The findings underscore the importance of targeted multidimensional interventions, the limitations of exclusively infrastructural focuses, and the highly contextual nature of even the most popular handwashing with soap predictors.

Title: Seeing beyond negotiations: the impacts of the Belt and Road on Sino-Kazakh transboundary water management
Abstract: 
 China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and infrastructural development has led to growing concerns regarding the future of Central Asia’s water resources. However, few attempts have been made to assess the impacts this will have on specific transboundary basins within the region. This article explores how the context of the BRI transcends its physical impacts within the Ili and Irtysh basins, creating a sanctioned discourse that forecloses the possibility of ‘successful’ negotiations at an official level. As such, pathways to transboundary water management that exist beyond the negotiations are shown to have greater plausibility and potential effectiveness.

Title: Causes and consequences of the Macta basin closure, Algeria
Abstract: 
 The Macta River basin in Algeria is under pressure. A water accounting of the basin demonstrates the severity of the crisis, with a net water depletion rate estimated at 93–142%, depending on the assumptions made. This reflects the overexploitation of the aquifers whose annual depletion is estimated at between 86 and 126 Mm3. This paper first discusses the causes of basin overbuilding and the over-allocation of water, and then analyses the economic, social and environmental consequences. It calls for a stricter water accounting of river basins in Algeria as the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its SDG 6 are implemented.

Title: High impact water conservation: factors explaining residents’ intent to reduce irrigated area in the yard
Abstract: 
 As water scarcity worsens, social scientists seek strategies that facilitate water conservation behaviours. This study analyses the factors driving engagement in a high-impact behaviour in residential landscapes, eliminating irrigated areas in one’s yard, to guide future social marketing efforts to reduce water usage. Feelings of internal commitment (i.e., personal norms) had the strongest relationship with this behaviour followed by social pressure (i.e., subjective norms), demonstrating the influence perceived personal and societal obligations have on water conservation. Practitioners, policymakers and scientists working on urban water issues should focus on these normative influences to ensure proliferation of the identified practice.

Title: Institutional bricolage in community-based water management: some insights from non-representational theory
Abstract: 
 Drawing on non-representational theory, using as an example the work of Gilles Deleuze, we offer a complementary perspective on critical institutionalism. We examine four case studies of community-based water management in the Upper West Region of Ghana, which has empowered communities and encouraged democratically accountable approaches, while also underpinning discriminatory practices. We find this can be attributed to institutional bricolage, but we argue that non-representational theory also provides an alternative orientation to our data. It allows the agency of disempowered individuals to be recast as acts of hope.

Title: Storm water systems’ performance: assessment framework application to Portuguese water utilities
Abstract: 
 Performance assessment is recognized as an important management tool for urban water systems. This article describes the application of a performance assessment framework for storm water systems, in collaboration with two Portuguese urban water utilities. A performance assessment system was built for each water utility, including objectives, assessment criteria and performance metrics. The results showed the existence of areas vulnerable to flooding occurrences and the need for investment in rehabilitation. The application of the performance assessment framework supports the identification of systems’ vulnerabilities and priorities for intervention. Opportunities and suggestions for improving data collection procedures are identified.

Title: Structural and institutional arrangements impacting collective actions in WUAs of West Bengal, India
Abstract: 
 This study provides empirical evidence of major debates in collective action theory concerning resource and member heterogeneity by conducting a survey on 63 randomly selected water-user associations promoted by the West Bengal state government of India. The functioning and governance of these institutions were evaluated by efficiency in resource mobilization (collection of membership fees), members’ perception of transparency and democratic decision-making, and dependency on third-party involvement in the future. The study finds that a larger command area, larger proportion of smaller farmers, optimum membership fee, frequent general body meetings, certain documentation, and power structure improve the functioning and governance indicators.

Title: Investigating factors attracting the participation of the private sector in rural water supply in Vietnam
Abstract: 
 This paper overviews Vietnam’s outcomes in implementing policies in the rural water supply and then applies a Delphi technique to determine the key factors in attracting the private sector in the context. Five factors were identified, including: government commitments; a unit at the central level to support projects; an authority at the local level to promote the activities of projects; guaranteed financial capacity to support projects; and a legal framework for the realization of projects. The findings from this study provide insights that may promote the participation of the private sector in Vietnam. The paper offers some lessons for other developing countries to pursue similar approaches.

Title: Funding dam safety regulation: an international comparative analysis and example application in Australia
Abstract: 
 Dam failures that cause significant adverse downstream impacts continue to occur globally. Hence, effective, adequately resourced dam safety regulation is critical for the safety of dams and downstream communities. This paper explores options for regulatory funding and resourcing according to a selected set of relevant key factors along a continuum of dam safety assurance. An international comparative analysis of 15 jurisdictional case studies against the key factors identifies trends representing indicative precedents. A procedure is developed to help identify increasingly relevant precedents for guiding target jurisdictions on potentially suitable options. Illustrative application to a real case in Australia is provided.

Title: Resettlement delays in the Dasu Hydropower Project: assessing impacts on the affected people and communities
Abstract: 
 This case study of the Dasu Hydropower Project in Pakistan investigates the impacts of delays in resettlement on project-affected people. The analyses presented here suggest that delays in the implementation of resettlement plans lead to additional socio-economic, environmental and psychological impacts on local communities. In addition, temporary resettlement of some households prior to relocation and resettlement at the planned sites aggravated these impacts, further complicating planned resettlement. The authors argue in favour of resettlement ahead of any civil works to reduce negative project impacts.

Title: International capacity building to achieve SDG6: insights from longitudinal analysis of five water operator partnerships
Abstract: 
 In pursuit of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6, water operator partnerships (WOPs) have grown in popularity. However, the literature supporting their effectiveness is lacking. We conducted mid-term interviews and surveys with five participating utilities in a Viet Nam–Australia WOP, followed by post-programme interviews with two managing associations and 10 utilities. We found that while partnerships initially focused on technical training, the need for broader institutional learning emerged as participants gained experience. Communication and relationship-building were consistently reported as success factors for achieving desired outcomes. Expanding the scope to involve governance and policy organizations, together with funding to collaboratively implement upgrades, could enhance future programmes.

Title: Unfolding the complexity in water reallocation decision-making in the Heihe River Basin, China
Abstract: 
 Water reallocation decision-making is a challenge faced by most river basins around the world. In this study, a system thinking framework was developed to structurally unfold the complex interactions of water reallocations with societal, economic and ecological subsystems in the Heihe River Basin in China. The results indicate that ecological degradations appeared much later than economic development. Slow-changing societal values and limited considerations of technological development and government regulations towards environmental protection contributed to the weak and untimely responses of water reallocations to ecological degradation. This framework can assist in strategic water reallocation decision-making in river basins.

Title: Factors influencing groundwater behaviour and performance of groundwater-based water supply schemes in rural India
Abstract: 
 This study investigates the factors influencing groundwater behaviour during the monsoon using data on rainfall, pre-monsoon depth of the water levels, groundwater level fluctuations, aquifer specific yield, and soil infiltration characteristics. It shows the effect of pre-monsoon depth of the water levels along with rainfall, soil infiltration and specific yield in controlling recharge during the monsoon. It also explores the factors influencing the performance of drinking water schemes. It shows that the intensity of irrigation demand, extent of gravity-based surface irrigation, aquifer storage space, and the aquifer recharge potential are important determinants for the sustainability of the groundwater-based drinking water schemes.

Title: Unsustainable use of surface water due to water balance miscalculation: the Culiacán River basin, Mexico
Abstract: 
 The development of instruments for the administration of water use is a pending issue in both developing and developed countries. UNESCO has published guidance on determining water availability in Latin American and Caribbean countries. We applied this method to the Culiacán River basin, the most significant basin in Mexico for agricultural productivity. We find that surface water availability has been overestimated due to the inclusion of non-physical terms in the water balance equation, miscalculation of natural runoff and the omission of ecological water flow. Thus, unsustainable surface water use is allowed based on a miscalculation of physical water availability.

Title: Rethinking collaborative governance to enhance legitimacy co-production: a multipurpose rural–urban water transfer in Nepal
Abstract: 
 This study examines the Sundarijal Water Supply System in Nepal, which involves over a century of experience on a multipurpose water supply project. Research findings suggest that the liberal idea of justice as fairness in the distribution of risks and benefits fails to appreciate the political nature of state interventions to transfer rural water for urban municipal use. The research rejects the neoliberal idea of procedural justice as creating non-argumentative spaces for decision-making common in collaborative governance in favour of the political ecological approach to developing argumentative spaces to facilitate contested co-production of legitimacy.

Title: A system approach to water, sanitation, and hygiene resilience and sustainability in refugee communities
Abstract: 
 This study conducted an in-depth systematic review of literature to explore the context of water, sanitation and hygiene (WaSH) sustainability and resilience in refugee communities. Our results indicate growing concerns, given the two-decade waiting period for refugees to achieve repatriation/integration into host communities, and the bulk of their accommodation is largely in the Global South. This makes the sustainability of WaSH increasingly complex and depends on understanding the roles and interdependences among the factors in each specific refugee camp, and recognizes that it is not ‘one-size-fits-all’ solutions and the sustainability of one camp might not be suitable for other camps.

Title: Cooperative water-sharing agreements between highlands and drylands: the Tambo-Santiago-Ica river basin in Peru
Abstract: 
 Inefficient water allocations in river basins limit economic benefits and feed conflicts. We study how institutional change triggered by investments and new technologies can improve water-use efficiency and mitigate conflicts. We develop a bargaining framework to analyse the Peruvian Tambo–Santiago–Ica river basin, which has important economic and social inequalities. We model agents’ welfare changes when joint investments are implemented that are instrumental in overcoming conflict. While upstream communities are poor and rely on rainfed agriculture and cattle-raising, downstream agricultural producers are well-off and produce high-value crops. We find that joint investments can increase both regions’ payoffs and gains from cooperation can be strengthened by side-payments.

Title: Media reporting on conflicts and cooperation: what does it mean for the Brahmaputra basin?
Abstract: 
 This article analyses the media reporting on conflicts and cooperation in the Brahmaputra River basin. We used 2437 newspaper articles published between 2010 and 2020 from the four riparians (China, India, Bhutan and Bangladesh) to explain the science–media interlinkages and what print media reports on conflicts and cooperation. We have found that most articles focus on conflicts, especially relating to hydropower development, data and information asymmetry, and disaster governance. There is limited media reporting on the avenues of cooperation such as informal water diplomacy, collaborative research opportunities, and the community and the culture that brings the riparians together.

Title: Domestic practices for accessing water and rural-urban transformations: example of emerging urban centres in Tanzania
Abstract: 
 The transition from rural to urban spurred by population growth and housing densification has implications for the planning of service provisions, not least domestic water supplies. The objective of this paper is to document the status of domestic water access and examine existing options for domestic water provision along the rural–urban transition. The study employs a combination of research methods in both data collection and analysis. Given the dual character (rural–urban) of the emerging urban centres, there is limited distinction in the domestic water services provided since they tend to be in between the two, in a state of transition.

Title: Smallholder farmers’ perceptions of and adaptations to water scarcity in an irrigated system in Chiapas, Mexico
Abstract: 
 This paper explores smallholder farmers’ perceptions of and adaptations to water scarcity in an irrigated system in south-eastern Mexico. Data from 85 farmers in four communities were collected through semi-structured interviews. The results show that farmers’ adaptations are stimulated by their perceptions of the causes and dynamics of water scarcity. Findings also reveal that differences in perceptions of, and adaptations to, water scarcity within communities are due to characteristics such as irrigation techniques, water intake location, productive systems and access to groundwater. This study recommends the implementation of policies based on local conditions to cope with water scarcity.

Title: Does financial inclusion improve sanitation access? Empirical evidence from low- and middle-income countries
Abstract: 
 The existing literature does not probe the extent to which promoting financial inclusion can provide an enabling environment to improve access to sanitation services, which is one of the integral objectives of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6. This paper empirically examines if traditional and digital financial inclusion can influence access to sanitation services for 84 low- and middle-income countries covering the period 2000–17. Our results establish that both indicators of traditional and digital financial inclusion generate a strong, positive and robust influence on access to sanitation services in lower and middle-income countries, especially in rural areas.

Title: Pakistan’s representation of transboundary water as a security issue
Abstract: 
 The South Asia region is one of the most unstable in the world, having experienced multiple wars. In recent years, water disputes have intensified between this region’s countries, including Pakistan and India, as water is intertwined with their security and has been securitized. Indeed, securitization is one of the strategies that has the power of representation of water as a security issue. The study examines how Pakistan has represented the Indus transboundary waters as a security issue through linguistic constructs, especially to motivate domestic audiences.

Title: Unsettling bureaucratic designs: inter-bureaucratic competition and patrimonialism in the pursuit of Thailand’s hydraulic mission
Abstract: 
 There appear to be relatively few studies examining the emergence and persistence of hydraulic bureaucracies (hydrocracies) in specific national contexts. This paper addresses this perceived lacuna by considering the case of the century-old Royal Irrigation Department (RID) in Thailand. Drawing upon the concept of ‘bureaucratic patrimonialism’, this paper seeks to disentangle some of the political economy issues surrounding the RID’s rise and prolonged national dominance. It pays special attention to inter-bureaucratic competition amid calls for water sector reform and how the RID has successfully negotiated these challenges through changing political regimes of the last century.

Title: Water infrastructure in Asia: financing and policy options
Abstract: 
 How should the world deal with the problem of insufficient water infrastructure financing? Here we attempt to answer this question in the context of Asia. We estimate investment needs in water infrastructure to meet the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals to be in the range of US$120–330 billion/year until 2030, compared with current investment of US$40–50 billion/year. Closing this financing gap is not just a matter of spending more, but also spending with greater quality and efficiency considering competing national policy goals and the distinctive characteristics of water infrastructure that make its financing more challenging.

Title: Community-driven disaster risk reduction: a case study of flood risk management in Brandon, MB, Canada
Abstract: 
 Recurrent disaster experiences can motivate communities to initiate risk management as part of their resilience mechanism if there is appropriate support to assist their shared commitment and goals. This scenario was evident in the City of Brandon's (Manitoba, Canada) response to the 1-in-300-year high-water event during the spring of 2011. This study examined how this small prairie city/community achieved the creation and preservation of locally driven flood risk management practice, and the critical role of the Brandon Emergency Support Team (BEST), a community-based disaster risk management organization, in facilitating enhanced risk awareness towards protecting the city from flooding.

Title: ‘Water is politics everywhere’: the use of emphasis frames to communicate multilateral water development project
Abstract: 
 Research implies that emphasis frames control preferences. Little is known, however, about how stakeholders frame water. How is water framed in decision-making and -shaping rooms? Therefore, we explore the Red Sea–Dead Sea Water Conveyance framing. We compile two data sets: (1) 18 in-depth interviews, archival data; and (2) 10 documents. For data analysis, we use qualitative and quantitative approaches – coding with Atlas.ti and text analysis with Voyant Tools. In the results, we juxtapose dominant and marginal frames, frequencies, and descriptive examples. Findings reveal which actors activate and spread salient frames, concealing pressing issues and sustaining old power structures.

Title: A system dynamics simulation model for water conflicts in the Zhanghe River Basin, China
Abstract: 
 This article presents a model that simulates the dynamics of water demand, water supply and the instability of water allocation schemes at the national river basin scale during water scarcity. The Zhanghe River Basin in China is used as a case study to demonstrate the model. The optimum solution, minimizing water allocation instability, allocated most of the river’s water to the downstream sub-basin, with most of the water assigned for downstream use allocated to Anyang city. The results show that the socioeconomic–environmental dynamics of the stakeholders in a water-sharing problem should be taken into account when allocating water.

Title: Water’s role in MDB regional development
Abstract: 
 Managing scarce water resources has been central to the Murray–Darling Basin (MDB) regional development story. The article puts water into a broader context of key drivers in development in the MDB. In addition to water markets and water policy, key issues include climate change, the changing relative resilience and viability of urban centres, the role of government, the impact of technological change, underlying exogenously set commodity prices and exchange rates. All these factors have had a significant impact on development, some with little discussion but others, such as water, have been contested and bitterly fought over. The article also examines these drivers and how they might affect future development.

Title: Water use efficiency: box ticking or a valid approach?
Abstract: 
 Water-use efficiency (WUE) enables the comparison of the value generated from water between countries, industries and companies, and over time. Such comparisons can overlook crucial underlying differences. How can WUE be best used as a comparator? Increases in WUE assumed that water consumption has become decoupled from economic growth. This overlooks structural changes and globalization resulting in water-intensive activities being eased out of WUE reporting. Incomplete participation in corporate WUE surveys and the absence of external verification should also be considered. This paper explores ways of developing more valid WUE comparators and the value of WUE for investors concerned about water risk.

Title: Water–tourism nexus research in the Mediterranean in the past two decades: a systematic literature review
Abstract: 
 The water–tourism nexus requires better knowledge, management and governance to address environmental and societal challenges. This review takes stock of the approaches used to address this nexus in the Mediterranean from 2000 to 2020. Bibliometric and exploratory content analysis targeted tourism impacts on water supply, determinants of water consumption, and water-saving mechanisms and technologies. A fundamental insight is that the literature remains rather water centric and technical, paying little attention to behavioural change and stakeholder action. Promising avenues to reinforce sustainable water use include transdisciplinary approaches and integrated tools such as hydrosocial cycle analysis, concept mapping and agent-based modelling.

Title: Waterways transformation and green stormwater infrastructure: enabling governance for Adelaide’s River Torrens Catchment, Australia
Abstract: 
 This paper explores the enabling governance conditions for implementing green stormwater infrastructure to transform waterways. Using Australia’s largest integrated stormwater management project in Adelaide’s River Torrens Catchment as a case study, we explore four key governance dimensions and their shifts over time: actors, rules of the game, discourse, and resources and power. Overall, 11 enablers emerged from these dimensions. These include collaboration and coordination, bipartisan support, regulation enforcement, knowledge and beliefs, leadership and expertise, and incremental funding. The paper reflects on the prevalence of these factors and provides recommendations to revitalize polluted waterways and address riverine flood risk.

Title: Salt for Mexico, fresh water for Arizona? A Mexican perspective on the project of a mega-desalination plant in the Gulf of California
Abstract: 
 This viewpoint contends that the Arizona project, aimed at constructing a mega-desalination plant in the Gulf of California (also known as the Sea of Cortez), in Mexico, with the intention of exporting desalinated water to Arizona, poses an imminent threat to the environment. It points out that this project lacks a necessary environmental impact statement and has not received approval from Mexican authorities. Additionally, there appears to be no sufficient provision for compensating for the potential harm to natural resources, and the approval by the Mexican authorities remains unlikely.

Title: Governance of technological innovations in water and energy use in Uzbekistan
Abstract: 
 Increasing water and energy demand in agriculture due to changing climatic conditions and high resource consumption is widespread in Central Asia. Under these constraints, compounded by lack of irrigation water, farmers are opting to use drainage water for crop production, with negative consequences. Focusing on Uzbekistan, we evaluate the governance of farmer adoption of selected technological innovations (i.e., constructed wetlands and biogas) to improve crop productivity while providing water and energy savings. We build upon farmers’ expressed views of the strategic decisions they would take regarding constructed wetlands and biogas plants. We use institutional analysis to identify relevant action situations, highlight potential institutional complementarity between these situations, and indicate promising areas for policy intervention.

Title: Projecting conflict risk in transboundary river basins by 2050 following different ambition scenarios
Abstract: 
 This study presents three global scenario projections of conflict risk in transboundary river basins by combining scenario projection data on risks identified in the existing literature. Under a business-as-usual scenario, 920 million people are projected to live in very high to high conflict-risk basins by 2050. In the low ambition scenario, this number decreases to 724 million people, while in the high ambition scenario, it decreases to 536 million. Large basins with specifically high conflict risk are the Juba–Shibeli, Lake Turkana, Indus and Irrawaddy. These findings hope to inform water diplomacy, conflict prevention and mitigation support for basins at risk.

Title: Urban water governance in Mexico during the COVID-19 pandemic
Abstract: 
 This article discusses whether the COVID-19 pandemic acted as a catalyst for change in urban water governance in Mexico. We analyse the National Water Commission’s action plan; the private firm Veolia’s use of digital technologies and strategic partnerships in Aguascalientes; and the grassroots activities of the Bajo Tierra Virtual Museum in Queretaro. We argue that the pandemic had no real impact on the first two cases since their initiatives were circumscribed by centralized and market-oriented structures, but constituted an opportunity for Bajo Tierra to gain visibility and recognition to transition towards more adaptive forms of water governance.

Title: Assessment of the economic and water leakage efficiency in Chilean urban water utilities
Abstract: 
 This study evaluates the economic and water leakage efficiency (ELE) of a sample of Chilean water companies using efficiency analysis trees (EAT). The potential savings in operating costs and leakage could reach a level of 58%. This is equivalent to a reduction in operating costs of £391.5 million per year and in water leakage of 20.6 million cubic metres per year. A downward trend in ELE scores was observed from 2007 to 2018. It was revealed that customer density and the source of raw water had a statistically significant impact on the ELE of water companies.

Title: Water policy and legislative responses to climate change in the Czech Republic
Abstract: 
 The recurring floods and droughts in the Czech Republic show that climate change requires far-reaching changes in water management. We analyse the responses already reflected in Czech water policy and legislation at three levels: strategic, statutory and constitutional. We first describe the substantial changes that have been satisfactorily introduced into the Czech government’s policies. We then trace the far less successful developments in the law, which have so far essentially been limited to drought plans and restrictions on water extraction during droughts. At the core, we concentrate on the political attempts to constitutionalize water protection.

Title: Individuals’ resistance to saving water: the cases of Argentina and Spain
Abstract: 
 Water management requires the participation of individuals who still seem to be reluctant to perform water-saving behaviours. Considering their country-specific water contexts, we analyse whether individuals’ water-saving behaviours depend on their resistance to change. Argentines and Spaniards (n = 1068) participated in two online surveys conducted using two panels and individuals whom interviewers recruited. Both resistance to change and perceived risk positively and significantly affect individuals’ water-saving behaviours. By contrast, the country of origin does not moderate water-saving behaviours. We discuss these findings’ scholarly and water policy implications at the national and supranational levels.

Title: Integrated assessment of water–energy–food nexus: conceptual framework and application to the Ping River basin, Thailand
Abstract: 
 Water, energy and food are the three foremost vital resources that need to be protected for human existence and sustainable development. The study develops an indicator-based framework for integrated assessment of the water–energy–food nexus at the river basin scale. The framework is designed to have three successive levels for the assessment. The proposed three-tiered assessment framework can aid concerned resources management authorities to evaluate the water–energy–food nexus and also to identify the action required to enhance resource productivities. The suitability of the framework is demonstrated through its application to the Ping River basin in Thailand.

Title: Measuring and decomposing profit efficiency changes of water utilities: a case study for Chile
Abstract: 
 Estimating profit inefficiency and its drivers is highly relevant for water utilities and water regulators to reduce water tariffs. We employed a novel methodological approach to compute profit inefficiency and changes to profit efficiency based on the Luenberger productivity indicator. This empirical application focused on the water industry in Chile from 2010 to 2018. Estimated average profit inefficiency was 43.6%, with the main contributor being allocative inefficiency (35.7%). In contrast, the effect of technical inefficiency was more limited (7.9%). Changes to profit efficiency differed among full private and concessionary utilities, with averages of 0.021 and 0.002, respectively.

Title: Understanding household attitudes to water conservation in Saudi Arabia: towards sustainable communities
Abstract: 
 In regions with limited freshwater resources, water conservation is crucial for sustainable resource management. This study investigates the links between household attitudes, information sources and water conservation policies in Saudi Arabia. The results reveal that over half the participants agree that water must be conserved, but three-quarters disagree they are obliged to conserve water. Water conservation behaviours were significantly associated with socio-economic characteristics. The study highlights the importance of human attitudes in developing effective water conservation strategies and complementing top-down public awareness approaches with bottom-up programmes using school curricula. This study can inform policymakers in designing effective water conservation policies.

Title: Water or mirage? Nightmare over dams and hydropower across Iran
Abstract: 
 This study examines the influence of human activities and climate variability on 86 dams and hydropower across Iran. The term ‘mirage water’ is introduced to estimate the impact of these factors on inflow. Data analysis shows that out of 1729 m3s−1 of mirage water, 705 m3s−1 are contributed by anthropogenic activities and 1024 m3s−1 by precipitation deficits. This indicates that some parts of Iran’s strategic investments in water resources management over the past 60 years have failed. The study underscores the necessity for enhanced management practices and infrastructure investments to ensure sustainable water resources in arid and semi-arid regions.

Title: Is policy convergence required to improve women’s empowerment in agriculture? Evidence from West Bengal
Abstract: 
 Farmers’ use of agricultural technology is necessary for reducing poverty. However, women make up most poor smallholder farmers in India and are generally unable to access relevant opportunities. Tandem to supporting women farmers in technology adoption is increasing their empowerment. While women’s empowerment has been on policy agendas in India for several years, progress has been slow and results are mixed. Using primary data from West Bengal, this study finds that female farmers with access to agricultural technologies will likely have social advantages over those without, but institutional and social support is necessary to facilitate real empowerment and overall development.

Title: Water governance for water security: analysing institutional strengths and challenges in Finland
Abstract: 
 The relationship between water security and water governance across different water-using sectors remains under-researched. We apply the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (OECD) Water Governance Indicator Framework with revised principles and criteria to analyse three sectors critical to water security in Finland: bioeconomy, mining and water infrastructure. Our findings indicate that water security as a concept helps to both assess and clarify governance priorities, while well-functioning governance with engagement of key actors is a prerequisite for broader water security. Given the differing interests and emerging pressures related to water, ensuring water security requires well-resourced public sector agencies to coordinate interaction across sectors and actors.

Title: Weather shocks, irrigation development and poverty: evidence from rural Northeast Thailand and Central Vietnam
Abstract: 
 Water is critical for agriculture in developing countries and climate change has created more extreme weather events. In this study, we examine the role of villages’ year-round irrigation in ensuring households’ irrigation to cope with weather shocks and investigate the effects of irrigation on income and poverty of rural households. Our results show that the availability of villages’ year-round irrigation significantly increases the share of irrigated land area at the household level, which leads to higher crop income and household income, and lower poverty. Therefore, developing year-round irrigation is recommended.

Title: Farmers’ perceptions, adoption and impacts of integrated water management technology under changing climate
Abstract: 
 This study investigates the correlations between Chinese banana farmers’ perceptions of integrated water management technology (IWMT) and their adoption behaviours and examines the impact of IWMT adoption on farm performance. The results revealed that farmers’ IWMT adoption correlates significantly with their perceptions of whether IWMT adoption can help reduce farm workload, fertilizer and water, the extent to which the technology is easier to operate, and the extent to which the technology can generate higher economic benefits than furrow irrigation technology. IWMT adoption significantly increases banana yields, gross revenue, net returns and irrigation frequency, but does not significantly affect irrigation expenditure.

Title: Groundwater governance under climate change in India: lessons based on evaluation of World Bank interventions
Abstract: 
 Groundwater is the single largest source of water for irrigation and domestic use in India. Climate change further exacerbates the threat of depletion, reducing food security and increasing the vulnerabilities of resource users. Governance is complicated by externalities associated with its attributes as an invisible and fluid resource which create problems of rivalry and exclusion. Based on theory-based case studies for evaluation of selected World Bank projects, we analyse challenges for groundwater governance and identify factors that contribute to depletion. It highlights the need for integrating and balancing demand and supply-side approaches, including water-efficient irrigation and climate-smart practices.

Title: Heterogeneous climate effect on crop yield and associated risks to water security in India
Abstract: 
 This study uses the Just–Pope approach to investigate the effects of seasonal weather variables and extremes on the mean yield and yield variability of rice, bajra, chickpea, groundnut and sugarcane in India during the period 1990–2015. Results reveal that changes in rainfall and evapotranspiration across seasons largely affect mean yields for most crops, including bajra, chickpea and groundnut. However, high summer rainfall and low monsoon evapotranspiration extremes reduce groundnut and chickpea yield variability. Considering the importance of water availability to crop yields, this study suggests improving irrigation and water reallocation and management to reduce the severity of seasonal climate effects.

Title: Mechanization in land preparation and irrigation water productivity: insights from rice production
Abstract: 
 This study investigates how and to what extent mechanization in land preparation (MLP) can help improve irrigation water productivity (IWP) (measured as rice yield per unit volume of irrigation water). We employed an endogenous treatment regression model to estimate the 2021 China Land Economic Survey (CLES) data collected from Jiangsu province, China. The results reveal that MLP adoption increases IWP significantly; a higher IWP is determined by whether or not farmers adopt MLP rather than through which channel they access their farm machines; the effects of MLP adoption on IWP are monotonically increasing across the selected quantiles.

Title: Water retention for agricultural resilience in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta: towards integrated ‘grey–green’ solutions
Abstract: 
 Emerging climate-development processes jeopardize water supply, especially in the Global South. In the Vietnamese Mekong Delta, disrupted water flows driven by climate change and hydropower development have caused water scarcity, threatening agricultural systems in both upstream and coastal areas. Based on insights from desk reviews, stakeholder workshops and interviews with local informants, this paper argues that while grey (engineered) solutions take precedence in addressing water scarcity, securing water sustainability (water retention) for agricultural resilience demands integrated ‘grey–green’ (engineered-nature-based) solutions. This paper suggests demands for translating this approach into the water governance framework for the delta’s agricultural development.

Title: Climate change and water-related threats in the Indian Sundarbans: food security and management implications
Abstract: 
 Based on a desk review and three rounds of the Delphi method, this study examines the impacts of climate change-induced water-related threats on food security in the Indian Sundarbans, and develops management strategies to address the issues. Results show climate change, through its impacts on water, has lowered agricultural output, endangered traditional livelihoods, reduced access to food, and affected food utilization by impacting freshwater availability and creating health hazards. In addition, intensified weather extremes are likely to threaten food security further. A combination of local-level adaptation measures and global-level mitigation initiatives is necessary to ensure food security in this region.

Title: Retrospective climate resilience assessment of semi-arid farming systems in India
Abstract: 
 Semi-arid farming systems in India are facing an increasing frequency of climate change-induced extreme weather events. With the aim of improving their climate resilience, we retrospectively assess climate resilience in two case studies in Maharashtra, India. We considered a 15-year period and multiple interventions in both. The systems showed improved climate resilience when agricultural productivity-enhancing interventions were combined with those related to water management, soil health, livelihood diversification, and food and nutrition security. Further, we recommend embedding a monitoring, evaluation and learning component within the design of all interventions to help with adaptive decision-making.

Title: Can domestic wheat farming meet the climate change-induced challenges of national food security in Uzbekistan?
Abstract: 
 This study is the first to develop food supply and demand projections over the 21st century for Uzbekistan by considering the combined effects of climate change and soil salinization. The study results suggest that rising summer temperatures and soil salinity will considerably reduce wheat production. Projections indicate that a large wheat supply–demand gap will emerge in the midterm, particularly under the SSP3-RCP7.0 scenario. For the two more pessimistic scenarios, supply losses of about 24–29% are expected by the end of the century. Supply–demand gaps of up to 2.7 million tons of wheat would pose serious challenges to national food security.

Title: Climate variability, rainwater-harvesting structures and groundwater levels in Odisha, India: an empirical analysis
Abstract: 
 To examine the driver of groundwater depletion, this paper estimates a dynamic panel regression model using district-level secondary data from 1995 to 2017. Results show that the number of rainwater-harvesting structures, annual average rainfall, forest cover and net sown area improve groundwater levels. Tube well irrigation and rice cultivation can adversely affect groundwater levels. The positive relationship between surface water and improved groundwater level is consistent in all the estimated models. Hence, efficient use and management of surface and groundwater are crucial for the long-term sustainability of water resources.
