Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Governments and developing agencies promote participatory approaches in solving common pool resource problems, such as in the water sector. Two main participatory approaches have been applied separately, namely negotiation and mediation. In this paper the authors apply the Role-Playing Game that is a component of the Companion Modeling approach, a negotiation procedure, and the Cooperative Game Theory (Shapley value and the Nucleolus solution concepts) that can be mirrored as a mediated mechanism to a water allocation problem in the Kat watershed in South Africa. While the absolute results of the two approaches differ, the negotiation and the cooperative game theory provide similar shares of the benefit allocated to the players from various cooperative arrangements. By evaluating the two approaches, the authors provide useful tips for future extension for both the Role-Playing Games and the Cooperative Game Theory applications.

Book Synopsis Combating Water Scarcity in Southern Africa by : Msangi Josephine Phillip
Download or read book Combating Water Scarcity in Southern Africa written by Msangi Josephine Phillip and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-08-13 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a close examination of water scarcity as a developmental challenge facing member nations of the Southern African Development Community (SADC), the interventions that have been implemented to combat the situation and the challenges still outstanding. The first chapter paints the backdrop of the water scarcity problem, reviewing historical approaches from the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro to the Johannesburg World Summit on Sustainable Development (2002) to the United Nations Rio+20 Conference on Sustainable Development (2012), and recapping principles and agreements reached during and after these conferences. Chapter two examines the Southern Africa region’s efforts to combat water scarcity including principles, policies and strategies and the responsibility of each member to implement them. Written by the editor, J.P. Msangi, the chapter describes Namibia’s efforts to ensure management of scarce water. Beyond enacting management and pollution control regulations and raising public awareness, Namibia encourages research to ensure attainment of the requirements of both the SADC Protocol and its own water scarcity management laws. The next three chapters offer Namibia-based case studies on impacts of pollution on water treatment; on the effects of anthropogenic activities on water quality and on the effects of water transfers from dams upstream of Von Bach dam. The final chapter provides detailed summaries of the issues discussed in the book, highlighting conclusions and offering recommendations. Combating Water Scarcity in Southern Africa synthesizes issues pertinent to the SADC countries as well as to other regions, and offers research that up to now has not been conducted in Namibia.

Book Synopsis Source-to-Sea Management by : Josh Weinberg
Download or read book Source-to-Sea Management written by Josh Weinberg and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-14 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first of its kind on the emerging topic of source-to-sea management. It showcases different applications of the concept to improve the environmental health of freshwater, land and coastal and marine systems, drawing upon research performed across Europe, Africa and Asia. Improved management of land, freshwater, coasts and oceans is a key environmental challenge of our time. It is needed to prevent the millions of tons of plastic and other pollutants that enter the ocean from land-based sources each year. It is essential to reduce highly polluted, oxygen-depleted “dead zones” in our coastal and marine waters. Extensive diversions of the flows of rivers need to be avoided to ensure that little or no water reaches the sea. Source-to-sea (S2S) is an emerging concept to improve understanding of how to effectively manage freshwater, land, coastal and marine systems. The collected works in this book explore experiences with S2S management in diverse regions across Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, addressing sedimentation, nutrient and pharmaceutical pollution in freshwater and marine aquatic environments, and marine debris on the coasts and in the seas. It provides key insights into a few areas that should be of interest to those who want to learn from the lessons from case studies of applied S2S interventions. This book will be of great value to scholars, students and researchers interested in global freshwater, coastal zone, ocean management, sustainable development and environmental governance. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the journal Water International.

Book excerpt: After abolishing apartheid a new water policy framework was drafted. One of the main elements of the new water framework is the Reserve. The focus of this research is on the Ecological Reserve. A comprehensive Reserve determination is currently underway and due for completion in November 2009. Recently, South Africa is turning its attention to implementation of the new water legislation. However, implementing and meeting the Reserve is proven to be difficult. The new water policy faces a difficult transition period. Despite the new water policy framework, the water in the catchment is not managed according to new water legislation. There is a gap between actual water distribution and the desired distribution according to the new water legislation. The focus of this research is on the Sand catchment, a sub catchment of the Inkomati catchment. The Sand catchment is a relatively dry catchment with limited water resources and a large semiurban population. The main water user is the irrigation sector which is a relic from the homelands. Due to the limited water resources combined with a growing population there is a strong competition for water. The Sand catchment is in water deficit, especially during times of low river flow. Several strategies have been put in place to solve the water deficit and to address the Reserve; 1) Inter Basin Transfer, 2) Operating Rules, and 3) water licensing. In the near future the domestic demand in the Sand catchment will be supplied through the Inter Basin Transfer. The remaining water user is the irrigation sector (and forestry). Meeting the Reserve in the Sand catchment is only possible by limiting water abstraction of other water users. One of the ways to limit the irrigation water abstraction is by implementing the Operating Rules. These rules require irrigators to release a defined percentage of the flow past their abstraction works. However, six years after its completion the abstraction weirs are still not operated in this manner. The irrigators continue to divert flows up to the maximum capacity of the canals. One of the main reasons for the non functioning Operating Rules is the lack of knowledge about the rules amongst among decision makers and that the current irrigation abstraction points do not allow the release of a proportional flow. In conclusion, despite the policy reform the condition of the river(s) is not improving.
