“…For researcher-practitioners involved in collective efforts to manage freshwater resources sustainably, it is important to recognize that substantive goods and procedural goods have different implications for ethics in participatory processes (Schmidt 2014). Despite more theoretically democratic forms of research-practice being considered and applied in natural resources management over recent decades, the political context, including incumbent power structures, as well as the ontological and epistemological commitments of participants in researchpractice engagements, all affect the ethical frameworks that are both represented and generated within such processes.…”

. 2018. Learning from collaborative research on sustainably managing fresh water: implications for ethical research-practice engagement. Ecology and Society 23 (1) ABSTRACT. Since the mid-2000s, there has been increasing recognition of the promise of collaborative research and management for addressing complex issues in sustainably managing fresh water. A large variety of collaborative freshwater research and management processes is now evident around the world. However, how collective knowledge development, coproduction, or cocreation is carried out in an ethical manner is less well known. From the literature and our experiences as applied, transdisciplinary researchers and natural resource management practitioners, we seek to describe and explore these aspects of empirical cases of collaborative freshwater research and management. Drawing on cases from Indigenous community-based natural resource management in northern Australia, flood and drought risk management in Bulgaria, water management and climate change adaptation in the Pacific, and regional catchment and estuary management in Victoria and New South Wales in Australia, we identify lessons to support improved collaborative sustainable freshwater management research and practice. Cocreation represents an emerging approach to participation and collaboration in freshwater management research-practice and can be seen to constitute four interlinked and iterative phases: coinitiation, codesign, coimplementation, and coevaluation. For freshwater researchers and managers and their collaborators, paying attention to these phases and the ethical dilemmas that arise within each phase will support the cocreation of more effective and ethical research-practice through: sensitizing collaborators to the need for reflexivity in research-practice, proposing action research codesign as a method for managing emergent questions and outcomes, and supporting more equitable outcomes for collaborators through an emphasis on coevaluation and collaborative articulation of the links between research outputs and practice outcomes.

“…Not only were their recommendations an informal aspect of procedural decision making, previous funders withdrew support because they did not want to fund government activities. Subsequently, the province changed its funding model from grants that allowed WPACs considerable freedom to contracts that specified deliverables and, consequently, structured governance activities (Schmidt 2014b). On the other hand, WPACs frequently lacked participation from First Nations or Metís communities, which was especially notable in the north where resource extraction significantly affects indigenous communities.…”

“…As decisões não podem ser pensadas unicamente pelo viés da política local e momentânea, pois esta reduz o poder e cria o conflito, afirma Schmidt (2014). É importante sensibilizar a população para que sua colaboração seja percebida muito além do tempo imediato, e sim como uma política global.…”

RESUMOA crise hídrica afeta toda a biodiversidade e dela emergem questões éticas da relação humana com a água e seu impacto nas populações vulneráveis. Este artigo analisa do ponto de vista ético como o meio científico tem abordado a crise hídrica. Analisaram-se produções científicas sobre a crise da água de forma qualitativa pela análise de conteúdo. Identificou-se que o pouco interesse que o meio científico tem em discutir os problemas éticos relacionados à crise hídrica faz com que não se tenha um retrato real de quem são os vulneráveis desse processo. Para superar essa realidade propõe-se a bioética ambiental, com sua metodologia baseada no diálogo interdisciplinar, como a ferramenta capaz de considerar e unir os diferentes interesses sejam humanos ou da natureza, bem como para evidenciar as verdadeiras causas da crise hídrica.Palavras-chave: água, ambiente, ética, gestão, vulnerabilidade. The water crisis in scientific publications: environmental bioethics perspectives ABSTRACTThe water crisis affects biodiversity as a whole and creates ethical issues regarding humanity's relationship with water as well as the impact on vulnerable populations.This article analyzes the ethics of the scientific community's approach to addressing the water crisis. Scientific literature relating to the water crisis was analyzed qualitatively based on its content. It was found that the scientific community's reluctance to discuss the ethical problems related to the water crisis results in a failure to clearly identify those who are vulnerable in this process. In order to overcome this failing, we propose the introduction of environmental bioethics, with methodology based on an interdisciplinary dialogue, in order to analyze and integrate the various human or natural interests as well as to highlight the true causes of the water crisis.
