One of the major problems facing practitioners and scientists working with water management is how to integrate knowledge and experiences from scientific, policy and stakeholder perspectives. In this book this science-policy-stakeholder interface (SPSI) is examined both analytically and through the description of practical experiences from river basins in Europe, India and South-East Asia. These include the Tungabhadra (India), Sesan (Vietnam/Cambodia), Tagus (Spain/Portugal) and Glomma (Norway), which particularly highlight issues associated with pollution, severely altered river flows and transboundary conflicts. Following two chapters which lay the framework for the book the authors describe how SPSI was managed in the case study basins and how stakeholder participation and scenarios were used to integrate different perspectives, and to facilitate the communication of different forms of knowledge. Four important aspects of water management and SPSI are then discussed; these are water pollution, land and water interaction, environmental flow and transboundary water regimes. Short descriptions of the case study rivers are provided together with analyses of how SPSI was managed in water management in these basins and policy recommendations for the basins. The book concludes by providing a series of recommendations for improving the science-policy-stakeholder interface in water management. It represents a major step forward in our understanding of how to implement integrated water resources management.

Emergence of a toxic organism like pfisteria in tributaries of the Chesapeake Bay has focused public attention on potential hazards in our water. More importantly, it has reminded us of the importance of the entire watershed to the health of any body of water and how political boundaries complicate watershed management. New Strategies for America's Watersheds provides a timely and comprehensive look at the rise of "watershed thinking" among scientists and policymakers and recommends ways to steer the nation toward improved watershed management. The volume defines important terms, identifies fundamental issues, and explores reasons why now is the time to bring watersheds to the forefront of ecosystem management. In a discussion of scale and scope, the committee examines how to expand the watershed from a topographic unit to a framework for integrating natural, social, and economic perspectives as they share the same geographic space. The volume discusses: Regional variations in climate, topography, demographics, institutions, land use, culture, and law. Roles and interaction of federal, state, and local agencies. Availability or lack of pertinent data. Options for financing. The committee identifies critical points in watershed planning to ensure appropriate stakeholder involvement and integration of science, policy, and environmental ethics.

In water governance, where problems are controversial and value laden, different forms of stakeholder involvement in environmental dispute resolution and collaborative techniques have become more common, and in many circumstances have been required. Stakeholder participation is often recognized as fundamental to the legitimacy and success of negotiated environmental dispute decisions, but the intricacies of what influences stakeholders' participation has received less attention. This thesis examines factors that influenced stakeholder participation in the Klamath Basin Restoration Agreement and Klamath Hydroelectric Settlement Agreement of 2010. The thesis considers water as a part of power relationships of everyday life, which subjects it to social struggles along class, ethnic, and political lines for access and/or control. Also, that the power dynamics within/between stakeholder organizations is complex. The research draws on in-depth, semi-structured interviews of a sample recruited from stakeholder organizations in the Klamath River Basin (an interstate basin). Interviewees consisted of representatives from state and federal agencies, tribes, commercial fishing organizations, irrigation agencies, conservation organizations, and a utility company. Data analysis was completed using a qualitative grounded theory approach and results indicate that stakeholder participation is influenced by stakeholder objectives, past experiences, relationships, the political and geographic context, process legitimacy, the regulatory framework, personal values and identity, process support and progress, and process results. Factors that influenced participation in the Klamath context are consistent with factors influencing participation discussed in the literature but add a more nuanced and contextualized understanding of the dynamics that influence participation and its implications. This work suggests that the factors that influence participation not only inform whether stakeholders chose to participate (or not), but also informs how they participate in negotiated environmental dispute decisions.

This publication is a practical guidebook on environmental risk assessment, especially for watershed-scale management. It highlights case studies of watershed environmental risk in Malaysia, including the potential health risks as well as screening methods and management in practice. In order to apply environmental risk assessment methods for the management of toxic chemicals, it is necessary to consider the geological and climate features of each country as well as their cultural characteristics. Focusing on Malaysia as a representative country, the book also discusses studies in other Asian countries. The insights provided can be applied to advanced and developing countries alike. A suitable textbook for graduate students, it is also a valuable reference source for researchers, practitioners and policymakers.
