A Systems Approach To Unravel Complex Water Management Institutions, Ecol.
Complexity
 









Excerpts: The study unravels the complexity of water management institutions by
analysing the interactive nature of actors and rules to a particular
water-related problem, using a systems approach in a hamlet in the Indian
Himalayas. The approach builds on the strengths of institutional analysis
development framework, but makes amendments to suit complex and adaptive water
management institutions. It applies multiple research methods to collect both
qualitative and quantitative information (...). (...) the study reveals human
entities - stakeholders, actors and agents - occupy different positions, which
they actively shift in a problem context and when agents pursue ‘projects' by
integrating diverse rules and resources to remain adaptive. (...)
