The science-policy interface is critical to the design and
implementation of water policies. In theory, scientists provide
policy makers with robust facts and data that can help guide
decision making, and lessons from the political economy of reforms
can push scientific boundaries further to trigger further research
for wise solutions. While evidence-based policy is obviously
desirable, in practice such a connection is not always
straightforward. Another assumption behind the science-policy gap
is the discrepancy between scientists and policy makers in terms of
culture, process, timing, language and expected outcome. This book
tries to reconcile this discrepancy through a multi-stakeholder
approach to authoring its different articles. This joint initiative
between the OECD - particularly its Water Governance Initiative -
and the International Water Resources Association seeks to provide
a canvas for grounding water policy in science, and vice versa. The
objective of this book, devoted to the OECD Principles on Water
Governance, is to use the OECD Principles as a common thread across
the articles to draw lessons from theoretical work and practical
experiences in water governance reforms; but also to only feature
papers authored by groups of diverse stakeholders from different
institutional backgrounds. This book was originally published as a
special issue of Water International.
