Abstract

Reviews of the water resources systems literature show considerable interest in methodological issues and less so in implementation experiences. This talk will offer some thoughts on the use of our analysis tools in the political environment where water management decisions are typically made. I’ll illustrate this based on some experiences I’ve had in South-East Asia, North Africa and the Middle East. In every case the results of the analyses had an impact on the debates that took place regarding what decisions to make, and occasionally on the decisions themselves.

From Analyses to Implementation: Some Experiences in North Africa, the Middle East and South-East Asia

Reviews of the water resources systems literature show considerable interest in methodological issues and less so in implementation experiences. This talk will offer some thoughts on the use of our analysis tools in the political environment where water management decisions are typically made. I’ll illustrate this based on some experiences I’ve had in South-East Asia, North Africa and the Middle East. In every case the results of the analyses had an impact on the debates that took place regarding what decisions to make, and occasionally on the decisions themselves.
