Edited by Hans Bressers and Kris Lulofs, CSTM, Institute for Governance Studies, University of Twente, The Netherlands‘Governance and Complexity in Water Management <i>is a stimulating read and a text that deserves to find itself on the bookshelves of water management professionals.’</i>
- Keith Baker, Critical Policy Studies,
The book integrates boundary work approaches, new forms of governance and water resource management to explore frameworks for spanning sector, scale and time boundaries. Structured case studies reflect the experiences and lessons of cooperation and exchange with professional water managers and their projects. Recommendations for boundary spanning in practice are presented, and important contemporary water management themes including flooding and flood policy, water depletion and water restoration are discussed in depth.
Incorporating conceptual, theoretical and practical foci to address complexity and conflict in adaptive water management, this book will strongly appeal to academics, researchers and practitioners in the areas of water management, planning and sustainability.
