“…In addition, the current generation of workers are becoming more individualistic, and have less of a sense of helping others in their community (Popovici et al 2020a). People are migrating out of the Colca Valley into larger cities like Arequipa to find work, and many have multiple jobs.…”

“…The initial research phase consisted of 139 semi‐structured interviews conducted in 2018 and 2019 with agency personnel and farmers in the districts of Caylloma, Lari, Yanque, Cabanaconde, and Majes in the province of Caylloma, Department of Arequipa, Peru. As described in more detail by Popovici et al (2020a), a purposive sampling strategy was used to select interviewees from key organizations involved in water management (Ritchie et al 2014). Snowball sampling was used to identify additional people and organizations to interview based on the information collected in previous interviews, until data saturation was reached (Fusch and Ness 2015).…”

“…These changing social and environmental conditions mean that local ecological knowledge is less able to support water management decision‐making than in the past (Popovici et al 2020a). Though many farmers have made efforts to adapt, smaller rural and upland communities often do not have the resources or knowledge to utilize the newest information or technology to make effective water management decisions.…”

Water resources in historically water scarce regions such as Arequipa, Peru are vulnerable to changing conditions. Population growth and climate change are projected to be major threats to water availability in the region, while urban growth, informal mining, and agriculture threaten water quality. To address these concerns and others, the Arequipa Nexus Institute for Food, Energy, Water, and the Environment (the Arequipa Nexus Institute) was formed as a collaboration between Purdue University and the Universidad Nacional de San Agustín to address key challenges to a sustainable future for Arequipa through research. In this work, a vision for water‐related extension programming in Arequipa was developed through three phases of data collection. Phases 1 and 2 involved semi‐structured interviews and focus groups with agency personnel, community leaders, and farmers in Arequipa. The water education needs of stakeholders that could be addressed by water and environmental extension programming were identified. In Phase 3, a workshop of researchers from the Arequipa Nexus Institute used the data and their knowledge of institutional capacity to identify opportunities for the Institute to serve as a boundary organization facilitating communication and collaboration between scientists and stakeholders to support water extension and engagement in Arequipa. Water resources extension services provided by this boundary organization would include education about water quality, water allocation, and water use, as well as providing resources to improve public participation in water management. Water extension services could be part of a cross‐cutting extension initiative within the Arequipa Nexus Institute, which would be responsible for accumulating research data and connecting them to both formal and informal stakeholders. The dual training nature of the boundary organization will serve to both increase public understanding of water concerns and the capacity of information generators in the university and agencies to engage with the public. This study is unique in combining both sides of the boundary (community needs and scientists’ perspectives) in developing the vision for this extension programming.

“…Five of the interviews had multiple participants leading to a higher number of interview participants ( n = 37) than interviews ( n = 26). Qualitative sampling is not designed to be generalizable, but rather to capture a richness in perspective among decision makers and technical experts that can highlight important dimensions in water decision making and that are comprehensive in scope to explicate the scope of the topic (Morse, 2010; similar to Huizenga et al, 2022; Popovici et al, 2021; Floress et al, 2017). In the interviews, data saturation was reached, meaning no additional novel information was generated in the final interviews of the process (Corbin & Strauss, 2014).…”

Howarth et al., 2000;Woodward et al., 2012). In coastal waters, cultural eutrophication can lead to a suite of adverse outcomes including the degradation of seagrass beds and shellfish habitats, decreased water clarity, and more (Bricker et al., 1999;Driscoll et al., 2003).Similar to non-point source water quality management efforts elsewhere, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, USA ("the Cape") faces a number of challenges in dealing with nutrient pollution (Boesch, 2002). These challenges include the diffuse nature of the nitrogen inputs, a relatively low density (for the northeastern U.S.) of residential and commercial development which makes sewering more expensive, and a complex set of stakeholders and decision makers with sometimes conflicting interests and values (Perry et al., 2020).

“…En el desarrollo del tablero de gestión, se ha determinado que una debilidad clave a resolver es el fortalecimiento de la gobernabilidad a través de la conformación de Consejo de Recursos Hídricos de la Cuenca como un órgano intermediario de escala regional, que permita abordar las necesidades de la cueca y su adecuada gestión, este modelo además es respaldado por estudios realizados en el sur peruano (Mancilla García & Bodin, 2019;Popovici et al, 2021). Sin embargo, la participación activa de los usuarios y actores en la cuenca permitirá implementar una gestión eficaz de la cuenca (Speer, 2012).…”

La gestión integrada de la cuenca debe ser analizada desde un punto de vista complejo y desde las distintas ópticas que lo abordan. La implementación de acciones y planes de gestión integrada de cuencas no es sencillo, dada la alta variabilidad del territorio en el caso peruano, sobre todo cuando se trata de cuencas transfronterizas. La cuenca del Chinchipe, cuenca transfronteriza Perú-Ecuador, es parte de la vertiente amazónica, se ubica en una zona estratégica y productiva del norte peruano principalmente en territorio de la región Cajamarca, predomina la actividad agrícola con cultivo de café en la cuenca media y cultivos de arroz, cacao, otros cultivos en la cuenca baja. Entre sus principales debilidades para la gestión integrada se destaca la no conformación del Consejo de Recurso Hídricos de la Cuenca como actor institucional básico del sistema según la Ley peruana, el limitado empoderamiento de la Autoridad Local del Agua Chinchipe-Chamaya, la escasa integración de los actores de la cuenca, entre otros. Sin embargo, se ha analizado que esta cuenca tiene un alto potencial para contribuir al desarrollo del territorio, por ello, en este documento se desarrolla una propuesta de gestión integrada de la cuenca del Chinchipe.
