    How to manage regime shifts: insights from a dryland social-ecological system

    Majid RahimiMehdi GhorbaniKhaled Ahmadaali
    513-539页
    查看更多>>摘要：Effective water resource management in the Zayandeh-Rud River Basin, a critical region in the Middle East, requires understanding system dynamics and anticipating regime shifts. This study uses system dynamics to model water consumption changes in the basin, analysing various scenarios (10% to 30% increase/decrease) in agricultural, urban, and industrial sectors. Results show that increased consumption harms water systems, while reductions, especially a 30% decrease, stabilize systems and improve water quality. Upstream reductions benefit downstream resources, highlighting the importance of integrated management. Proactive strategies can mitigate adverse impacts, ensuring a sustainable water future for the region's inhabitants.

    Towards water regionalism? Examining the linkages between water, infrastructures, and regionalism in Turkey

    540-562页
    查看更多>>摘要：Moving beyond the purely material understanding of infrastructures, new perspectives in infrastructural regionalism assert that infrastructures and regions simultaneously shape each other. Drawing on this reciprocal relationship, we introduce the concept of 'water regionalism' to examine how regional factors, dynamics, and complexities shape water infrastructures, and how water infrastructures concurrently shape regions. Through qualitative research methodologies, we empirically demonstrate how this concept operates in practice by examining the history of regional planning and hydraulic infrastructure development in Turkey, particularly the process of how the South-eastern Anatolia Project (GAP) and the GAP region have shaped each other since the 1970s.

    Transformative change of Jordan's water system: reconfiguring competitive water users into mutual service providers

    查看更多>>摘要：By 2050 and without fundamental policy change, demand for freshwater will exceed renewable supply by a factor of four in Jordan. A water-allocation game was designed to let stakeholders reallocate water and attempt to close the gap between demand and renewable supply, making use of supply augmentation and reutilization options that were defined with stakeholders. Stakeholders who played the game grasped that agriculture will have to completely shift to waste-water reuse in order to preserve precious freshwater resources for the drinking water supply. This paper reflects on the transformation needed to turn competing water users into mutual service providers.

    Collaborative multiscale water resources planning in England

    Ali LeonardJaime AmezagaRichard BlackwellElizabeth Lewis...
    580-605页
    查看更多>>摘要：Practitioners in water resources planning in England are navigating new multiscale planning structures. A National Framework introduced in 2020 embeds strategic cooperation across a privatized industry to meet higher resilience standards. This study presents a critical analysis of the National Framework to identify feasible solutions to navigate England's water crisis. Findings are based on engagement with practitioners identifying successes, challenges, and lessons learned throughout 2020-2024. Recommendations include establishing a national coordination office as part of an explicit multiscale framework. Over time, the framework can continue to be built upon for a more informed transition to adaptive, collaborative, integrated planning.

    Water right society - a history review from Three-Valley of Hejin County, 1389-1947

    606-624页
    查看更多>>摘要：The study develops a water rights society framework for examining the influence of a water rights system on water-related activities and formation of society and applies it in Three-Valley. The water rights system in Three-Valley was developed on the spring-flood rule in 1389 and remained unchanged until 1947. It resulted in the establishment of a dual-canal system, formation of water realloca-tion rules, delineation of land development areas, and classification of village types. These caused cooperation and conflict between villagers and villages. These elements formed a water rights society comprising spring and flood classes, functioning through economic, political, and ideological mechanisms.

    Legal frameworks and mechanisms for resolving transboundary water disputes in Malaysia: insights from the Kedah-Penang Muda River dispute

    Muhammad Nazrul Abd RaniRasyikah Md Khalid
    625-646页
    查看更多>>摘要：The ongoing water dispute between Kedah and Penang over the shared use of the Muda River highlights critical inadequacies within Malaysia's legal framework for managing inter-state water disputes. This paper employs a doctrinal legal research approach to analyse relevant statutes, international water law principles and Malaysia's integrated water resources management (IWRM) and integrated river basin management (IRBM) policies. The objective of this study is to identify legal gaps and challenges within the current framework and to propose actionable solutions for effective dispute resolution. The findings reveal significant legal gaps, particularly in compensation mechanisms and inter-state coordination, that hinder effective dispute resolution within a federated governance structure. To address these issues, the study recommends legal reforms and an establishment of a federal mediation entity. These measures are designed to foster equitable and sustainable water management practices, contributing to Malaysia's alignment with SDG 6 on clean water access and sustainability.

    Tap water consumption choices in out-of-home settings: insights from a survey of German adults

    Jale TosunMarc DebusSimon SchaubSina Klein...
    647-666页
    查看更多>>摘要：European water policies aim to promote tap water consumption among citizens. Our survey of 5815 German respondents investigates factors influencing tap water consumption in key out-of-home settings: workplace, recreational sports, hospitality and travel. Results show tap water is consumed most frequently in sports settings and least in hospitality, highlighting the importance of situational factors over price. Strong correlations between at-home and out-of-home drinking water choices suggest stable preferences and habit effects. Policy interventions should focus on encouraging tap water consumption at home, offering carbonation options out-of-home, and shifting norms and industry discourse in hospitality settings.

    Tanker trucks in Chile: from the normalization of an emergency to the commodification of water

    Chloe Nicolas-ArteroGustavo Bianco-Wells
    667-687页
    查看更多>>摘要：This article examines the institutionalization and normalization of one mode of water access - water tanker trucks - in rural communities in Chile. Our findings reveal four explanations for community acceptance of this socio-technical device: challenges in measuring nationwide tanker truck usage, the tanker truck as a symbol of state presence in marginalized areas, its integration into existing practices that do not challenge water policies and its combination with local strategies. The institutionalization and normalization of this 'solution' allows for the commodification of water and the continuation and deepening of inequalities in water access for domestic consumption.

    Depoliticizing disasters: the need to break down water bureaucracy with the changing climate in South Asia

    Anamika BaruaProtiva AdhikarySumit Vij
    688-696页
    查看更多>>摘要：The 2024 floods in India and Bangladesh, triggered by heavy rainfall and upstream runoff, affected millions and displaced hundreds of thousands. This disaster exposed critical gaps in transboundary water management, especially in the areas of data sharing and early warning systems between the two countries. We argue for the urgent need to depoliticize disasters and prioritize improving cross-border data-sharing mechanisms, adopting a decentralized approach to flood forecasting. Moreover, interdisciplinary strategies that combine both hydrological and socio-political insights are essential to effectively manage the human impacts of such disasters, which are expected to worsen with climate change in South Asia.
