This is a property of type String.

Allowed Values:

Hydropower, Dams and Large Storage Infrastructure

  • What role(s) can hydropower play in a nation's energy strategy? What calculations, considerstaions, and potential outcomes should be investigated by countries looking to harness additional hydropower?
  • Where does the benefit “flow” from a hydropower project and how does that affect implementation and sustainability of the project?
  • How do issues of equity and development impact the identification of stakeholders in cases involving hydropower or other revenue generating water infrastructure?

Urban Water Systems and Water Treatment

  • What approaches are most beneficial for rapidly growing cities in the developing world to link water management to sustainable urban growth strategy?
  • How can increasing urban water demand be balanced between the needs of the urban population and industry?
  • How can costs for water quality projects be distributed between polluters and beneficiaries?

Transboundary Water Issues

Desalination

  • 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?

Influence, Leadership, and Power

  • 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?
  • How can government be dis/incentivized to offer an inclusive planning process?
  • What effective mechanisms can downstream states/countries use to protect their water related interests/rights?
  • How does asymmetry of power influence water negotiations and how can the negative effects be mitigated?
