This book addresses pressing challenges of policy makers, planners
and project managers in the water sector to successfully implement
adaptation action. Taking into account both strategic planning and
implementation of adaptation projects, it provides principles and
attributes that contribute to the effective delivery of adaptation
to flooding and drought. The book is organised around questions of
'what?', 'when?', 'why?' and 'how?'. It explains that a governance
approach to adaptation is effective when it is 'fit-for-purpose' in
a specific social-ecological or socio-technical context. The
concept of 'fit-for-purpose' governance is applied to evaluate the
effectiveness of governance efforts in three Australian cities to
adapt to a decade of drought. Based on a case study of the Room for
the River flood protection programme in the Netherlands, this book
describes how planned adaptation projects in multi-stakeholder
settings can be managed effectively and how large scale investment
programmes can contribute to a transition of a water system that is
adapting to a changed context. The cases in Australia and the
Netherlands are used to link governance for strategic planning and
governance for the delivery of adaptation. Through combining
insights about multi-level governance, adaptive governance,
transition management, programme management this book enriches the
scientific literature about adaptation to flooding and drought.
