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.

Natural/Societal/Political Domain Variables:
The greatest value of any case study is the ability to identify transferable knowledge, particularly identifying the context and usefulness of this knowledge. Select a few questions from the question bank and provide a brief synopsis on the contributions this case study makes to providing more insight or answering this question.
Key Question:
None What role(s) can hydropower play in a nation's energy strategy? What calculations and considerations should be investigated by countries looking to harness additional hydropower? Which potential outcomes should be investigated or identified? 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?
None 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?
None 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 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? 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 can mutual trust amongst riparians be nurtured? What actions erode that trust?
None 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?
None 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? How do national policies influence water use at the local level?
None How can consultation and cooperation among stakeholders and development partners be better facilitated/managed/fostered? What role can agricultural subsidies play in finding solutions to complex water management problems?
Description
Because multiple cases can require an understanding of the same basic facts about
each case can be linked to new or existing articles containing background information on these topics. This way, individual natural features, projects and initiatives, or agreements do not need to be explained in great detail in the body of every case.
If an article exists, you can enter the title (e.g.: Ganges River, Mekong River Commission, Glen Canyon Dam, Indus Water Treaty), and it will be automatically linked to the case study. If the article does not exist, a new page will automatically be created for the feature. You will be able to see/edit that page by clicking the link when viewing your saved case study.
We suggest looking at the existing list of features, projects, and agreements to see if relevant sections already exist for your case.

For each case, multiple contributors will have the opportunity to add his/her own analysis/synthesis or insights into the specific case, and these nuanced, contextual additions will be presented together in the case to provide multiple viewpoints. Because of this, each contributor will need to both add and annotate their contributions to this section to highlight major points and also receive credit for the original thoughts.
There are no ASI articles linked to this case study.
You have not added any ASI sections that are linked to this Case Study.
Please use this section to analyze interactions between issues and stakeholders, synthesize information presented, draw conclusions, highlight important lessons learned, or to provide insight into the knowledge/wisdom from this case can be transferred to other settings.

Provide a focused summary to facilitate case organization/searches. The organization for summaries is meant to create short, information-dense documents. You should complete this section after preparing the rest of your case study.
We suggest the case summary is kept under 300 words and touches on the following topics: major issues addressed, important stakeholders, major points of analysis/synthesis/insights (especially if there are multiple contributors of insight to the case), opportunities for transferrable knowledge. This is not meant to be fully comprehensive, but simply provide enough information to a reader to indicate whether or not s/he is interested in reading further.
