The central focus of this volume is a critical comparative analysis
of the key drivers for water resource management and the provision
of clean water - governance systems and institutional and legal
arrangements. The authors present a systematic analysis of case
study river systems drawn from Australia, Denmark, Germany, the
Netherlands, UK and USA to provide an integrated global assessment
of the scale and key features of catchment management. A key
premise explored is that despite the diversity of jurisdictions and
catchments there are commonalities to a successful approach. The
authors show that environmental and public health water quality
criteria must be integrated with the economic and social goals of
those affected, necessitating a 'twin-track' and holistic
(cross-sector and discipline) approach of stakeholder engagement
and sound scientific research. A final synthesis presents a set of
principles for adaptive catchment management. These principles
demonstrate how to integrate the best scientific and technical
knowledge with policy, governance and legal provisions. It is shown
how decision-making and implementation at the appropriate
geographic and governmental scales can resolve conflicts and share
best sustainable practices.
