Key Question:

- How can consultation and cooperation among stakeholders and development partners be better facilitated/managed/fostered? (9) - How can costs for water quality projects be distributed between polluters and beneficiaries? (1) - How can government be dis/incentivized to offer an inclusive planning process? (3) - How can mutual trust amongst riparians be nurtured? What actions erode that trust? (3) - 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? (1) - How do issues of equity and development impact the identification of stakeholders in cases involving hydropower or other revenue generating water infrastructure? (3) - How do national policies influence water use at the local level? (2) - How does asymmetry of power influence water negotiations and how can the negative effects be mitigated? (8) - 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? (7) - What approaches are most beneficial for rapidly growing cities in the developing world to link water management to sustainable urban growth strategy? (1) - What calculations and considerations should be investigated by countries looking to harness additional hydropower? Which potential outcomes should be investigated or identified? (1) - 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? (4) - What effective mechanisms can downstream states/countries use to protect their water related interests/rights? (2) - 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? (4) - What mechanisms beyond simple allocation can be incorporated into transboundary water agreements to add value and facilitate resolution? (13) - What role can agricultural subsidies play in finding solutions to complex water management problems? (1) - 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? (1) - What types of benefit sharing models can be used to make desalination more economically feasible and beneficial in water-scarce regions? (1) - Where does the benefit “flow” from a hydropower project and how does that affect implementation and sustainability of the project? (3)
