Social participation in water management and governance recently
became a reality in many economies and societies. Yet the
dimensions in which power regulation, social equity and
democracy-building are connected with participation have been only
tangentially analyzed for the water sector. Understanding the
growing interest in social participation involves appreciating the
specificity of the contemporary period within its historic and
geographic contexts as well as uncovering larger political,
economic and cultural trends of recent decades which frame
participatory actions. Within a wide variety of cases presented
from around the world, the reader will find critical analyses of
participation and an array of political ecological processes that
influence water governance. Sixteen chapters from a diverse group
of scholars and practitioners examine water rights definition,
hydropower dam construction, urban river renewal, irrigation
organizations, water development NGOs, river basin management,
water policy implementation and judicial decision-making in water
conflicts. Yet there are commonalities in participatory experiences
across this spectrum of water issues. The book's five sections
highlight key dimensions of contemporary water management that
influence, and in turn are influenced by, social participation.
These sections are: participation and indigenous water governance;
participation and the dynamics of gender in water management;
participation and river basin governance; participation and
implementation of water management and participation and the
politics of water governance.
