ABSTRACT

Governance is the process by which stakeholders articulate their interests, their input is absorbed, decisions are taken and implemented, and decisionmakers are held accountable (https://www.iog.ca). Water governance can be defined as the range of political, organizational and administrative processes through which communities articulate their interests, their input is absorbed, decisions are made and implemented, and decision makers are held accountable in the development and management of water resources and delivery of water services (https://www.powi.ca/pdfs/ governance/goodgovernance.pdf).
