New Observational Tools and Datasources for Hydrology: Hydrological data Unlocked by Tinkering

Hut, R.W. (author)

Advances in scientific understanding follow a cyclic pattern where new observational techniques lead to novel theoretical insight. From novel theories, in turn, hypotheses are derived that cannot be tested using current observations and thus create a demand for even newer observational techniques. Hydrology has recently experienced a period of...

Implementing participatory water management: Recent advances in theory, practice, and evaluation

Von Korff, Y. (author), Daniell, K.A. (author), Moellenkamp, S. (author), Bots, P.W.G. (author), Bijlsma, R.M. (author)

Many current water planning and management problems are riddled with high levels of complexity, uncertainty, and conflict, so-called “messes” or “wicked problems.” The realization that there is a need to consider a wide variety of values, knowledge, and perspectives in a collaborative decision making process has led to a multitude of new methods...

Water Management on the Island of IJsselmonde 1000 to 1953: Polycentric Governance, Adaptation, and Petrification

Mostert, E. (author)

One of the central tenets of adaptive management is polycentric governance. Yet, despite the popularity of the concept, few detailed case studies of polycentric governance systems exist. In this paper, we aim to partly fill this gap. We describe water management between the years 1000 and 1953 on the Dutch island of IJsselmonde in the...

Information Theory for Risk-based Water System Operation

Weijs, S.V. (author)

Operational management of water resources needs predictions of future behavior of water systems, to anticipate shortage or excess of water in a timely manner. Because the natural systems that are part of the hydrological cycle are complex, the predictions inevitably are subject to considerable uncertainty. Still, definitive decisions about e.g....

TIGER capacity building facility: Growing from projects to professional community

Vekerdy, Z. (author), Su, B. (author), Menenti, M. (author), Swinnen, E. (author), Painho, M. (author), Fernandez, D. (author)

Water security has become one of the most important challenges in the sustainable development of Africa, but only limited reliable information is available on the use and availability of water to support adequate planning and management of water resources. Data acquired from space can contribute to meet the urgent information need. But to...

Actor analysis for water resources management: Putting the promise into practice

Hermans, L.M. (author)

Water related problems such as floods, droughts, declining groundwater tables or polluted rivers have a major impact on numerous societies throughout the world. Despite these serious problems, policy makers seem to make scant use of the knowledge that is available with water experts. Conversely, water experts face the task of finding out how...
