Key Question: (Click arrow to add another value)

- How can consultation and cooperation among stakeholders and development partners be better facilitated/managed/fostered? - How can costs for water quality projects be distributed between polluters and beneficiaries? - How can government be dis/incentivized to offer an inclusive planning process? - How can increasing urban water demand be balanced between the needs of the urban population and industry? - How can mutual trust amongst riparians be nurtured? What actions erode that trust? - How can packages or options that link issues creatively or build on possible technology innovations be employed to create non-zero sum choices within negotiations that include water resources? - How do issues of equity and development impact the identification of stakeholders in cases involving hydropower or other revenue generating water infrastructure? - How do national policies influence water use at the local level? - How does asymmetry of power influence water negotiations and how can the negative effects be mitigated? - To what extent can international actors and movements from civil society influence water management? How and when is this beneficial/detrimental and how can these effects be supported/mitigated? - What approaches are most beneficial for rapidly growing cities in the developing world to link water management to sustainable urban growth strategy? - What calculations and considerations should be investigated by countries looking to harness additional hydropower? Which potential outcomes should be investigated or identified? - What considerations can be given to incorporating collaborative adaptive management (CAM)? What efforts have the parties made to review and adjust a solution or decision over time in light of changing conditions? - What effective mechanisms can downstream states/countries use to protect their water related interests/rights? - What kinds of water treaties or agreements between countries can provide sufficient structure and stability to ensure enforceability but also be flexible and adaptable given future uncertainties? - What mechanisms beyond simple allocation can be incorporated into transboundary water agreements to add value and facilitate resolution? - What role(s) can hydropower play in a nation's energy strategy? - What role can agricultural subsidies play in finding solutions to complex water management problems? - What roles can desalination play in a country's national water policy and what energy ecological and water quality considerations ought to go into making such a decision? - What types of benefit sharing models can be used to make desalination more economically feasible and beneficial in water-scarce regions? - Where does the benefit “flow” from a hydropower project and how does that affect implementation and sustainability of the project? - Other - None
