Issues are the concerns of groups of stakeholders within the context of the water basin and the case study. Some issues may be extremely significant, and some may be peripheral to your particular perspective or framework.

 +
Each issue has a specific group of stakeholders. Stakeholders are organizations or powerful individuals who may have input into the process or may bear the results of management decisions in the water basin. The stakeholders for a given issue are those who have a primary concern in its outcome.

Add the title for your case study. Please choose a descriptive title that captures the setting and purpose for your case:



Example Titles:

Water Quality Control of the South-to-North Water Diversion (SNWD) Middle Route Project (MRP), China
Hydropower development in the Nam Ngum River Basin
Can Agricultural Policy Help Save Water and Money in the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint River Basin?

If there is an existing case study with the same title, you will be sent to a page for editing the existing case. You may want to check the list of case studies to see if there are opportunities to add to an existing case, rather than create a new one.
