Book Synopsis New Strategies for America's Watersheds by : National Research Council
Download or read book New Strategies for America's Watersheds written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1999-04-28 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: Working Papers The publications in this series record the work and thinking of IWMI researchers, and knowledge that the Institute’s scientific management feels is worthy of documenting. This series will ensure that scientific data and other information gathered or prepared as a part of the research work of the Institute are recorded and referenced. Working Papers could include project reports, case studies, conference or workshop proceedings, discussion papers or reports on progress of research, country-specific research reports, monographs, etc. Working Papers may be copublished, by IWMI and partner organizations. Although most of the reports are published by IWMI staff and their collaborators, we welcome contributions from others. Each report is reviewed internally by IWMI staff. The reports are published and distributed both in hard copy and electronically (www.iwmi.org) and where possible all data and analyses will be available as separate downloadable files. Reports may be copied freely and cited with due acknowledgment. About IWMI The International Water Management Institute (IWMI) is an international, research-for-development organization that works with governments, civil society and the private sector to solve water problems in developing countries and scale up solutions. Through partnership, IWMI combines research on the sustainable use of water and land resources, knowledge services and products with capacity strengthening, dialogue and policy analysis to support implementation of water management solutions for agriculture, ecosystems, climate change and inclusive economic growth.

Book Synopsis Community Based Water Management and Social Capital by : Kiyoshi Kobayashi
Download or read book Community Based Water Management and Social Capital written by Kiyoshi Kobayashi and published by IWA Publishing. This book was released on 2014-04-14 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Community Based Water Management and Social Capitalprovides scientific understanding of community based water management and how to secure responsible management to satisfy quality and quantity requirements. It shows how community based water management can be synchronized with public water service, by introducing the most recent field experiments and theoretical studies in economics, social science, engineering, and regional planning which include game theory, microeconomics, econometric, statistics, social network analysis, social choice, and micro finance. Community Based Water Management and Social Capital presents field experiments and theoretical studies in economics, social science, engineering, and regional planning to investigate important questions: what motivates people involve in voluntary water management what is the effect of participatory approach in water management how does social capital work in the voluntary actions what are key factors for effective governance for water management with diverse actors - local people, enterprise, and government; what is necessary for proper water allocation; vi) how to synchronize public water service with community based water management. The book provides students, researchers, practitioners and governments with a comprehensive account of the current situation and perspectives on voluntary water management. It delivers a new scientific understanding on sustainable water management schemes and appropriate institutional social structures to secure inalienable rights to access to water.

Book Synopsis Impacts of State Involvement on Community-based Collaborative Watershed Management by : Sara Jean Schott Nikolic
Download or read book Impacts of State Involvement on Community-based Collaborative Watershed Management written by Sara Jean Schott Nikolic and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As non-point source pollution has emerged as the leading cause of water quality impairment, governments have increasingly invested in community-based collaborative watershed initiatives to devise and implement strategies to address pollution problems. It is unclear however what social and environmental consequences exist for government involvement in such community-based collaborative efforts. The present study examines the Ohio Watershed Coordinator Grant Program, a six-year program in which state agencies offered funding, training and monitoring to community-based collaborative watershed organizations in Ohio. Through a comparative case analysis of 18 watershed organizations and in-depth longitudinal case studies of a sub-set of two organizations, we find that government involvement may yield a variety of impacts, some more positive than others, across the spectrum of organizational experience, from organization genesis to social and environmental outcomes. Such impacts vary by key organizational characteristics, such as type and age, and speak to emergent models in environmental management and governance literatures.
Book Synopsis An Assessment of Community Capacity for Sustainable Watershed Management in the Lower Kaskaskia River Watershed by : Christopher T. Slemp
Download or read book An Assessment of Community Capacity for Sustainable Watershed Management in the Lower Kaskaskia River Watershed written by Christopher T. Slemp and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sprawling low density housing and retail developments characterize the growth patterns of many communities nationally. These patterns of development have been associated with impairments in ecosystem services that are critical to the functioning of social and natural systems. In response to the negative implications of these patterns, watershed initiatives are taking place across the U.S. A qualitative assessment of community capacity for sustainable watershed management was conducted in two Lower Kaskaskia River watersheds. Six research questions drove this capacity assessment: (1) How do diverse community managers and residents define community health; (2) what role does the natural environment play in perceptions of community health; (3) what are the perceived effects of urbanization on the study communities; (4) what are community stakeholders' beliefs about the level of environmental protection within their communities; (5) What are stakeholders' perceptions of their communities' ability to solve problems; (6) What are critical indicators of community capacity to engage in sustainable watershed management. Key findings suggest that developing a sustainable vision, networking between groups, and leadership play important roles in the successful implementation of community based watershed initiatives.
