Water management

How does your organisation pursue its water policy in situations in which water managers run into problems for which the solutions lie in other policy columns? What management method is the right one in these situations? How do water managers organise cooperation and decision-making on water policy at the basin level, when water basin boundaries do not follow administrative ones? How do the rising costs of safety, flooding control and water quality measure up against current financing methods? What possible alternatives are there?

Safety, flooding control and water quality are subjects with which a broad spectrum of public, private and social organisations are concerned, each with its own vision of and approach to the water issue, and always based on the organisation's own official or unofficial position. The knowledge and experience of all of these parties helps to get to the bottom of the water issues and achieve sustainable solutions. The flip side of this is that such a wide arena demands a lot of coordination and integral decision-making.
