The book consolidates the transdisciplinary research of the project
"CuveWaters: Integrated Water Resources Management in Central
Northern Namibia (Cuvelai Basin) in the SADC-Region" funded by the
German Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF) and
undertaken from 2004 to 2015 in Namibia. In these eleven years it
was possible to accomplish all three phases of an ideal-typical
transdisciplinary research process, from creating a common research
object down to transdisciplinary dissemination. The
transdisciplinary research approach was designed to tackle the
life-world problems of food security, sanitation and access to
water in a sustainable way. It aimed at integrating science,
technology and society with the common goal of establishing a
multi-resource mix for water use to improve the living conditions
of people in the project region. This 'multi-resource mix'
comprises water from different sources made available through
adapted technological solutions which are socially embedded. The
technological solutions identified with the Namibian partners were
rainwater and floodwater harvesting, groundwater desalination,
sanitation and water reuse. Each technological solution is
reflected in terms of approach, technology, social aspects,
management and governance issues, economic viability and
sustainability evaluation. The book shows how technological
innovation must go hand in hand with social innovation regarding
knowledge, practices and institutions. A comprehensive report of
the design, methodologies and procedures as well as the research
findings and conclusions is provided here. The aim of the book is
to share with researchers, professionals and practitioners the
lessons learned during the project and provide guidance for
replication.
