“…A fair, equal, and transparent process that promotes equity, learning, trust and respect among stakeholders and the administration (Reed, 2008;Webler et al, 2001;Moote et al, 1997), The integration of local and scientific knowledge (Reed, 2008;Tippett et al, 2007), The establishment of rules in advance (Sabatier et al, 2005;Renn et al, 1995), An early involvement of stakeholders (Leach et al, 2002;Leach and Pelkey, 2001), The integration of all stakeholders (Smith Korfmacher, 2001;Duram and Brown, 1999), The presence of experienced moderators (Reed, 2008;Leach et al, 2002;Griffin, 1999), and Adequate resources, including time (Leach and Pelkey, 2001;Keeney et al, 2000) Even if these principles are applied, critical situations can happen. For example, it must be stressed that simply copying the best examples of public participation will not guarantee success in other case studies.…”

a b s t r a c tParticipation has emerged as an appropriate approach for enhancing natural resources management. However, despite long experimentation with participation, there are still possibilities for improvement in designing a process of stakeholder involvement by addressing stakeholder heterogeneity and the complexity of decision-making processes.This paper provides a state-of-the-art overview of methods. It proposes a comprehensive framework to implement stakeholder participation in environmental projects, from stakeholder identification to evaluation. For each process within this framework, techniques are reviewed and practical tools proposed. The aim of this paper is to establish methods to determine who should participate, when and how. The application of this framework to one river restoration case study in Switzerland will illustrate its strengths and weaknesses.

“…Many of the social and environmental problems faced by industrial societies will not be solved without a fundamental re-think of how citizens and organizations interact with the environment [1]. Environmental issues are best handled with the participation of all concerned citizens where each individual should have appropriate access to information concerning the environment that is held by public authorities and the opportunity to participate in decision-making processes [2].…”

“…it is time to link technical approaches to socio-political debates, increasingly prominent via multiple negotiations that are at the core of decision-making process [3]. Because, it is critical that science on its own, without a process of consideration and argument amongst a wide range of stakeholders cannot provide guidance on the "best" options for a future action [1]. Strategic environmental assessment (SEA) is a challenge to overcome this matter [3].…”

Pack Test which provided by Kyoritsu Chemical-Check Lab. Corporation has been assumed as a professional easy-to-use onsite water quality checker. The aim of this study is to examine the possibility of application of Pack Test in Malaysia, and to assess the required matters during introduction processes. Two workshops were sampled to prove the potential function of Pack Test in environmental education and participative environmental monitoring. Two hours lecture of Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) was facilitated as a workshop by author on September 23, 2010, and then the author has assisted a workshop in Putrajaya on October 9, 2010. Questionnaire forms were applied to test as if people"s feeling are positive or not towards Pack Test as preliminary research. Water quality parameters were simultaneously measured by Pack Test, such as, COD, NO 3-, CI -, and NH4 + in UTM, pH and NO 3-were measured in Putrajaya workshop, respectively. Participants" feeling in the both workshops showed strong positive potential for Pack Test. The results of water qualities from UTM workshop had big variation in COD and NO3 -. Considering the reason, the UTM workshop was conducted without proper support for both facilitators and participants. Participants were able to classify the water quality level in a short time. As for the Putrajaya workshop, with deep support and well skilled instruction by facilitator team, the data showed small variation i.e. good and consistent water quality result. It is obvious that Pack Test is always applicable to assess water environment and it is well functioned as user friendly easy-to-use water quality checker. Thereby the role of Pack Test is segregated from conventional standard methods. The participants" feeling to Pack Test was highly positive for implementation in order to improve public environmental awareness. Simultaneously, they were feeling that people can participate more effectively in water environment issues by Pack Test. It was clear that Pack Test was notable in-situ water quality checker, which has advantages over its particular methods that never rely on transport of samples to a distant laboratory for chemical analysis. Above all, it could be a breakthrough point to empower public participation, and environmental education for water sustainability. In addition, it can be pointed out that if there are chance to get skilled of the usage of Pack Test, which will be important for teachers, engineers, and other potential facilitators to ensure the effective usage of Pack Test towards.

“…The different types of participation have been developed to understand the differences between the approaches and the associated methods and to understand the contexts in which they are more appropriate. Among the types of participation, the literature contains: Typology based on different degrees of participation (ARNSTEIN 1969;GOETZ;GAVENTA, 2001;LAWRENCE, 2006); Typology presented as a wheel of participation (DAVIDSON, 1998;FREWER, 2000); Typology based on a theoretical framework: rules and/or pragmatic participation (THOMAS, 1993;BEIERLE, 2002) and Typology based on the objectives for which participation is used (TIPPETT; HANDLEY; RAVETZ, 2007). Reed (2008) points out that these types can be used a priori to choose the type of desired participation or can be used post-hoc, to categorize the type of participation that occurred.…”

This paper proposes to assess the knowledge and dynamics of Committees/Councils in the discussions and deliberations on the raw water charges in Brazil and in Portugal. The comparison is limited to the evaluation of a Committee and Council and not necessarily reflect the operation of other CBHs, in Brazil, or Councils, in Portugal. It was analyzed the minutes of the meetings of the Paraíba River Basin Committee (CBH-PB) and the Alentejo River Basin Council Region (CRH-Alentejo) as well as interviews with members of the two collective bodies. For the Brazilian case, it appears that CBH-PB members discussed and deliberated on the values and mechanisms for raw water charges. In Portugal, the definition of values and the way of application of the raw water charge (TRH) was held at the central level, without the CRH-Alentejo having the opportunity to argue, not fulfilling its role as a consultative body water management. Water Resources Policies have to gain strength by promoting public participation through discussion formats and being able to engage key stakeholders as well as creating conditions for the development of cooperative relations.Keywords: Public participation; Raw water charges; Stakeholders. RESUMONeste trabalho propõe-se avaliar o conhecimento e a dinâmica do Comitê/Conselho nas discussões e deliberações sobre a cobrança pelo uso da água, no Brasil, e sobre a Taxa de Recursos Hídricos (TRH), em Portugal. A comparação se limita à avaliação de um Comitê e um Conselho e não reflete, necessariamente, o funcionamento de outros CBHs (estaduais e federais) e nem de Conselhos. Foram analisadas as atas das reuniões do Comitê da Bacia Hidrográfica do rio Paraíba (CBH-PB) e do Conselho de Recursos Hídricos da Região do Alentejo (CRH-Alentejo) assim como realizadas entrevistas com membros dos dois organismos colegiados. Para o caso brasileiro, verifica-se que os membros do CBH-PB discutiram e deliberaram sobre os valores e mecanismos para a cobrança. Em Portugal, a definição dos valores e a forma de aplicação da TRH foi realizada em nível central, sem que o CRH-Alentejo tenha tido possibilidade de se pronunciar, não cumprindo a sua competência de emitir um parecer sobre a TRH, enquanto órgão consultivo de gestão das águas. Faz-se necessário que as Políticas de Recursos Hídricos sejam reforçadas, promovendo a participação pública através de formatos de discussão capazes de envolver os atores chaves e criando condições para o desenvolvimento de relações de cooperação.Palavras-chave: Participação pública; Cobrança pelo uso da água bruta; Atores sociais.
