“…Whilst examples of successful participatory processes exist (see Özerol & Newig 2008), in the context of this critique of IWRM and its application in the Murray-Darling Basin there remain serious questions about the extent to which participatory decision making has resulted in better outcomes for water management in this instance.…”

In this article we explore the usefulness of an Integrated Water Resources Management philosophy in the formulation of the Murray-Darling Basin plan. Trends towards amalgamating a number of policy objectives into a single planning instrument and the role of complexity and the so-called 'systems thinking' and 'integration' are considered. The article goes beyond the Murray-Darling and compares similar policy trends in urban water planning, particularly in Victoria. We conclude that integrated water resource management, as a broad policy philosophy, is not presently delivering efficacious outcomes in both rural and urban settings.

“…This overall challenge may also affect the degree to which Park officials determine the level of interest by stakeholders in planning for specific purposes such as fire management. Without effective engagement throughout the planning processes, stakeholders may also withdraw, particularly if they feel that decisions have already been taken (Özerol and Newig 2008).…”

Septembre/octobre 2013, vol. 89, nº 5 -the foreStry chronicle 664 AbstrActPlanning for and managing disturbances in protected areas requires governance arrangements that are both adaptive to changing conditions and effective in dealing with multiple challenges. This paper presents a framework composed of principles and criteria of good and adaptive governance that pays attention to inclusiveness, responsibility, fairness, strategic vision, performance orientation, and adaptiveness. The framework was empirically tested on fire management planning in Prince Albert National Park, Saskatchewan, Canada, involving interactions between Parks Canada and Saskatchewan Environment. Our results suggest that while the principle of performance orientation was upheld, principles such as inclusiveness and adaptiveness were only partially supported. Additional testing beyond fire management planning can help determine the utility of the framework for other environmental management situations.Keywords: adaptive capacity, adaptive governance, adaptive management, climate change, disturbance, fire management, good governance, national parks, protected areas résumé La planification et la gestion des perturbations dans des territoires protégés requièrent des mécanismes de gouvernance qui soient à la fois adaptables aux conditions variables et capables de répondre à de multiples enjeux. Cet article présente un cadre composé des principes et des critères d'une bonne gouvernance adaptative qui tient compte de la capacité d'inclusion, de la responsabilité, de l' équité, de la vision stratégique, de la performance et de la capacité d'adaptation. Le cadre a été testé de façon empirique pour planifier la gestion des feux de forêt dans le Parc national Prince Albert situé en Saskatchewan au Canada, et qui comportait des interactions entre Parcs Canada et Environnement Saskatchewan. Nos résultats laissent entendre que même si le principe de performance a été maintenu, les principes comme la capacité d'inclusion et d'adaptation n' ont été retenus que partiellement. Un essai additionnel qui irait au-delà de planifier la gestion des feux aiderait à déterminer si le cadre peut être utile dans d'autres contextes de gestion environnementale.

“…The implementations of IWRM according to such a water framework directive have been communicated for first stage towards sustainable water management in the European Union on March 2007 and then regarding programs for monitoring of water status in April 2009 [7]. Water law in the United States, which varies by region for both historical and geographic reasons, encompasses a broad array of subjects or categories designed to provide a framework to resolve disputes and policy issues relating to water [8].…”

Abstract:The increased demands for water and land in Indonesia as a consequence of the population growth and economic development has reportedly have been accelerated from the year to year. The spatial and temporal variability of human induced hydrological changes in a river basin could affect quality and quantity of water. The challenge is that integrated water resources management (IWRM) should cope with complex issues of water in order to maximize the resultant economic and social welfare in an equitable manner, without compromising the sustainability of vital ecosystems. Even though the government of Indonesia has adopted new paradigm for water resources management by the enactment of Law No. 7/2004 on water resources, the implementation of IWRM may face the technical and managerial challenges. This paper briefly reviews the implementation of IWRM and related principles and provides an overview of potential water-related issues and progress towards implementation of IWRM in Indonesia. The availability of water and a broader range of water-related issues are identified. The recommended actions for improving the future IWRM are suggested. Challenges to improve the capacity buildings of IWRM related to enabling environment, institutional frameworks and management instruments are verified to contribute to the future directions for efficient problem-solving ability.
