  1. Countries of partners in EUWARENESS

  2. Research model of case studies

  3. Integrated water regimes Aspects: • Extent (Scope) • Coherence • of public governance • of property & use rights • between public governance and property & use rights

  4. Regime development

  5. Extent of water regimeSeveral new uses and users were mentioned, but one entered in all cases: the role of water for nature & landscape

  6. Aspects of Public Governance • Levels and scales • Actors and networks • Perspectives and objectives • Strategies and instruments • Responsibilities and resources for implementation

  7. Rivalries:Here: fishing, kayaking, industry

  8. Operational definition of ‘sustainable use’ • Ecological: environmental quality, natural resource protection & risk avoidance in as far as related to observed rivalries (cf. ‘good status’) • Economical: economic consequences of ecological degradation or improvement and of measures taken • Social: social consequences of ecology and measures taken

  9. Demarcation should follow hydrological and geographical boundaries at regional scale (tributary character) Rivalries between uses / users, preferably several Preferably also private ownership involved Variation between “wet” and “dry” cases Presence of attempts to attain more integrated regimes: Only when “seeds have been sowed, one can see when the soil proves fertile”. Case selection criteria

  10. Criteria for sub-cases One case story if: • only one (selected) rivalry, or • only one line of development of regime change, or • regime aspects & changes are highly interdependent, or • rivalries in the case are highly interdependent Otherwise sub-cases

  11. Belgium Vesdre river - 4 Dender river - 4 France Audomarais - 1 Sèvre Nantaise - 2 Italy Idro lake - 1 Marecchia-Conca -1 Netherlands IJsselmeer - 4 Regge river - 1 Spain Matarrana river - 1 Mula river - 1 Switzerland Maggia valley - 3 Lakes Baldegg and Hallwil - 1 The twelve cases

  12. Hypotheses on regime change towards integration: 1.Most change agents will lead to more differentiation in the regime (extent), but not without additional prerequisites to more coherent regimes. 2.Attempts to change regimes into a more integrated status will have relatively more success with a tradition of co-operation, a joint problem; a notion of joint chances; a credible alternative threat; and good institutional interfaces. Hypotheses on the sustainability of institutional resource regimes: 3a.Regimes with a deficient ‘extent’ will be more likely to lead to degradation of water resources or inability to protect the ecological functions of the water resource, than regimes with a larger extent. 3b.Regimes with a large ‘extent’, but with low coherence will be more likely to lead to degradation of water resources or inability to protect the ecological functions of the water resource, than regimes with a similar extent but a higher degree of coherence. Hypotheses case comparison

  13. Example from ‘key facts and assessment sheet’

  14. Regime aspects and sustainable use

  15. Plot of regime change and sustainable use

  16. Change agents • EU policy & regime pressures: 13 x • National policy & regime pressures: 22 x • Problem pressures: 19 x • Other circumstances: 10 x

  17. Force of change agents and regime changes

  18. Conditions and changes of regime aspects

  19. Plot of conditions and regime change

  20. Favourable conditions for regime changes towards integrated management • Tradition of cooperation • Joint problem • Joint chance • Credible alternative threat • Institutional interfaces

  21. Joint chances • Knowledge bases from respected sources on opportunities stemming from more integration • Information symmetry of the actors involved on these points • A sense of respect for each others’ interests of the actors

  22. Institutional interfaces • Clarity of assigned responsibilities • Free and alert mass media • legal of practical possibilities to protect negotiated compromises • Actors with only process objectives (“brokers”) • Small number or strong representation of stakeholders • Legal bases for integration • Official policy guidelines
