Abstract | |||||||||||||
| project developing new methods for integrated water resources management taking into account the complexity of the river basins to be managed and the difficulty to predict the factors influencing them (e.g. climate, socio-economic developments). The central focus of NeWater is a transition from currently prevailing regimes of river basin water management to more integrated, adaptive approaches that cope with growing uncertainty like climate change. Water management must become more flexible and responsive to change to be able to cope with increasing uncertainty. New management approaches must be tailored to the evolving institutional, societal, economic, environmental and technological setting of a basin. Therefore NeWater identifies key elements of current water management regimes and investigates their interdependence focusing on transformation processes of these elements in the transition to adaptive integrated water resources management. Investigated key elements include for instance governance in water management, sectoral integration, scales | |||||||||||||
