Michael R. van der Valk of Hydrology.nl and the Scientific Secretary of the Netherlands National Committee of UNESCO-IHP sent me a link to the publication Principles of Good Governance at Different Water Governance Levels.
From the WWW site:
How is water governance evolving at different levels of governance and what are the implications for principles of good governance such as equity, legitimacy, efficiency, transparency and accountability? The publication, Principles of Good Governance at Different Water Governance Levels addresses these issues. It is based on the UNESCO Workshop on Water and Governance.
UNESCO-IHP and other organizations have also initiated a three year project on Groundwater Governance: A Global Framework for Country Action. I'm anxious to see what results. Regional workshops started a year ago.
Enjoy!
"But when you have bad governance, of course, these resources are destroyed: The forests are deforested, there is illegal logging, there is soil erosion. I got pulled deeper and deeper and saw how these issues become linked to governance, to corruption, to dictatorship." - Wangari Maathai
