▼ A watershed is a naturally delineated unit of land that drains water, sediment, dissolved materials, heat, and biota to a common outlet along a stream channel. If watershed gives all these services, the various activities that are performed in the watershed area will certainly have impact on downstream water users. The activities that are carried out for watershed management cost the local administration and community. This research is, therefore, designed to investigate the impacts of upstream watershed area management activities on downstream water users, and downstream water user’s willingness to pay for upstream watershed area protection taking the Gumera watershed as a case study. The study analyses the impacts of watershed management activities on downstream water users and the determinants of households’ willingness to pay for watershed area protection by using contingent valuation method (CVM). Samples of 110 households living in the downstream watershed area were selected by stratified sampling method and questionnaire survey with interviews was carried out to collect data on impacts and willingness to pay. Single bounded value elicitation formats with an open ended follow up question were used for the CVM. Eleven variables (income, age, marital status, household level of education, household size, female headed households, off-farm activities, respondents’ market access, membership in environmental organization, ratio of dependency household members and bid value) were identified for the determination of the determinant of willingness to pay. The primary and secondary data that were collected were analysed both qualitatively and quantitatively. The quantitative information from the questionnaire was tabulated and analysed using SPSS. Probit model was used to analyse the factors influencing households’ willingness to pay. Results of the study showed that watershed management activities have both positive impacts (improves water quality, leads to good water management, provides more sustainable water supply etc…) and negative impacts (erosion problem, water pollution, destruction of homes and human lives due to flooding etc…) and households are willing to pay for the provision of watershed area protection. The important variables identified in this study to determine households’ WTP for watershed area protection include, bid value, income of the household, participating in off farm activity, household size, ratio of dependent household members, and households’ market access. The mean willingness to pay from the single bounded questions were birr 291.2 per household per year. The expected aggregate willingness to pay amount is 4,066,260.9 birr per year. The mitigation measures to protect negative impacts are practicing land, water and biomass managements side by side. An important policy implication drawn from the study is that farm households are willing to pay for watershed area protection. If government designs and implements a proper charge of watershed area… Advisors/Committee Members: Dr. Ing Asie Kemal (advisor).

▼ Kansas watershed projects have been responsible for reducing floodwater damage across the state since the formation of watershed districts, following the Kansas Watershed District Act of 1953. A total of 80 organized watershed districts now take on the responsibilities associated with watershed management and protecting the land uses within them. Today, Kansas watershed districts face challenges in completing nearly half of the 3,000 structures proposed since 1953. Insufficient funding, burdensome policy changes, and a declining interest from local board members and landowners are key challenges boards must overcome in addition to managing rapidly aging infrastructure and dealing with projects that have exceeded their life expectancy. Research methods used for this report include content analysis of general work plans, relevant federal and state policies, and interviews with local stakeholders. In order to understand the economic, political, social and geographic impacts of watershed development, the following issues are addressed: cost-benefit ratios using monetary and non-monetary benefits, differences between federal and state funding in regards to rehabilitation and best management practices, local perceptions of watershed development, and spatial factors that exist among watershed districts. This study found that watershed projects have the potential to provide up to $115 million each year in monetary and flood damage reduction benefits in Kansas protecting over 35,000 miles of transportation routes while providing recreation opportunities and enhancing environmental conservation efforts. Political and social impacts were identified through in-person interviews with 21 local stakeholders that include landowners, board members and state representatives, representing 21 different watershed districts. Perceptions of political and social issues indicate that when government assistance is available, watershed districts are more willing to deal with increased regulations. However, a lack of financial support that has existed in Kansas watershed districts over the last eight years has contributed to a general opposition of increased federal regulations and reluctance to continue building watershed structures. Spatial factors among watershed districts illustrate the spatial and temporal differences in district development, watershed structure construction, and precipitation gradients that influence land use and ecoregions between western and eastern Kansas.

▼ While Austin is often considered a leader in water quality management, it still has streams which are impaired. As urban development occurred in Austin, there appears to have been a diminishing regard for these creeks. As Austin receives the majority of its drinking-water supply from the Colorado River (a surface water source), there is a critical need to increase our understanding of the relationship between development trends and water quality in order to continue the implementation of successful watershed planning strategies and regulations. Further, there is a need for the evaluation of watershed protection regulations that have already been established, in order to determine their success. This thesis presents data from an analysis of water quality of creeks in watersheds that were primarily developed prior to the passing of Austin’s first Comprehensive Watershed Ordinance (CWO) in 1986, compared to water quality of creeks in watersheds that were primarily developed after the Ordinance was adopted. This exploratory study investigated the following research questions: How does stream health differ between watersheds that were primarily developed prior to the passing of the CWO compared to those that were mostly developed after the CWO? How do impervious cover, watershed size, soil type and watershed development affect stream health outcomes (metals, nutrients, macroinvertebrate biodiversity and water temperature) in the creeks under study and what are their empirical relationships? A total of forty-eight creeks were studied. Analysis included both GIS mapping and statistical methods. Three of the primary best management practices established by the CWO included riparian buffers, impervious cover regulations, and density controls. The findings reveal that post-CWO creeks have better stream health outcomes for lead, chromium, and nitrate concentrations. Water temperatures are generally lower in post-CWO creeks. Additionally, these creeks have greater macroinvertebrate biodiversity. Therefore, this study confirms that Austin’s watershed regulations do matter as they have had a positive impact on stream health in the city. The city should continue to focus on best management practices that will result in living streams, including: increasing riparian canopy cover throughout the city, promoting the development of rain gardens, establishing incentives for the use of impervious surface alternatives such as permeable pavers, and finally continue to educate and engage with Austinites regarding the protection of the city’s water network.

▼ Today's watershed collaborative efforts are characterized by ad hoc voluntary associations that typically include governmental and non-governmental actors, local organizations, and citizens who are involved in the decision-making process, and whose objectives are centered on more holistic approaches to integrated watershed management. This study builds on existing watershed management research, specifically in the western U.S., to understand why and how interstate river watershed cooperation occurs regarding water quality issues and the perceptions of success related to these activities. A part of this research also builds on previous water quality data management survey data gathered in 1991. A phone survey was administered to watershed actors in six western U.S. interstate watersheds that had water quality concerns (i.e., listed Total Maximum Daily Loads, TMDLs), included a tribal entity, had river water used for drinking water, irrigation and/or agricultural uses within the watershed, and had water rights strategies similar to that of the Truckee River Watershed (i.e., prior appropriation). In total, 48 surveys were conducted using the "snowball" sampling approach. The most common actor group surveyed was non-governmental 33%, while the least common was tribal entities (6%). Logistic regression analysis indicated that the total number of cooperative activities present in a watershed was the most significant predictor of the presence of watershed cooperation relating to water quality issues. Ordinal logistic regressions revealed that respondents perceived watershed organizations, meetings, and watershed partnerships as being the most successful forms of interstate watershed cooperative activities regarding water quality issues. Different types of cooperation may be more beneficial in different watershed scenarios, therefore further research is needed for understanding how key events (i.e., impetuses), the number of jurisdictional boundaries, and issues of trust relate more closely with the presence of successful watershed cooperation regarding water quality. Although past research determined that there was room for improvement concerning water quality management and cooperation in the Truckee River Watershed, the current research found that progress is occurring and more water quality cooperative activities are present.

▼ Bertrand Creek and Fishtrap Creek are transboundary watersheds located in the eastern portion of the Fraser Lowlands border region. Population growth, land use practices, and urban development in British Columbia (BC) and Washington (WA) are pressuring surface and groundwater resources. As a result, questions of transboundary watershed management have arisen. Management of transboundary water resources creates dynamic governing scenarios, as mismatched levels of government and regulatory fragmentation both within and between neighbouring nations results in a confusing governing scenario. Consequently, cooperation between nations regarding transboundary resource management may be difficult to formulate. However, this thesis is based on the assumption that successful transboundary resource management can result from the existence of social capital. A research questionnaire was undertaken with watershed management specialists from BC and WA to test four hypotheses pertaining to social capital and cooperative management of small scale transboundary watersheds in the Fraser Lowlands. The four hypotheses are: is there evidence to support the existence of substantial transboundary social capital; is there evidence for a preferred structure for transboundary governance; are there cultural or social differences resulting from the border; and, does the existence of social capital outweigh differences resulting from the border. While it is impossible to directly measure levels of social capital, it is possible to investigate for indicators in support of the existence of social capital, by testing for differences and similarities between BC and WA responses. The research results indicated evidence in support of the existence of social capital. It identified a mixed approach to governance as the preferred structure, and that there are social and cultural differences resulting from the border. Evidence supporting the existence of cognitive and structural social capital within this border region could be interpreted as an indication of a setting open to collective action.

▼ A geographically-based framework for landuse suitability assessment and land capability classification in Ibulao watershed, Philippines was developed and used in this study. Landuse suitability assessment was based primarily on soil erosion, the results of which were compared with the outcome of suitability assessments based on two land classification systems in the Philippines. The Ibulao watershed was subdivided into 10-ha cells, and each cell was independently evaluated with the aid of a geographic information system called MAP. The soil erosion rates for each cell were estimated using the MUSLE. The surface runoff and peak runoff rates were simulated using an infiltration-kinematic routing model, an event-based stochastic rainfall duration model, and the CREAMS model. The land capability classification was based on erosion index representing the inherent soil erodibility of a cell computed on the basis of runoff erosivity factor, soil erodibility factor, and the slope length-gradient factor. The results of capability classification were used to identify the different alternative uses of any cell in the watershed. The framework described in this study for landuse suitability assessment and land capability classification illustrated potentials for applications to the management and allocation of land resources in the Philippines. An erosion-based landuse assessment and land capability classification appears to be a better alternative to a slope-based system as far as the following are concerned: (1) identification of landuses which would not jeopardize the long term productivity and stability of an area; (2) a more accurate and meaningful land capability description and classification; and (3) making more lands available for various alternative uses by using criteria such as soil erosion which can easily be manipulated.

▼ To address many environmental problems in Indonesia, the Ministry of Forestry created a planning system and developed guidelines to manage the watersheds in the country. Today, the environmental problems are still continuing, calling for improvement of watershed management. This study reviewed international guidelines, selected case studies of other countries' experiences, and the watershed management guidelines in Indonesia, then compared and contrasted the result of these reviews and made recommendations in order to improve watershed management and planning in Indonesia. The international guidelines published by ASEAN, FAO, ESCAP, UNEP, and ADB offered several frameworks of watershed management from various perspectives. The comparisons between these frameworks/perspectives and the Indonesian guidelines gave an opportunity to make an assessment and opened up the possibility of improving the existing framework and practice in Indonesia. The international guidelines provided some input on the importance of monitoring and evaluation in the management process, emphasised the need for adequate data for planning, and advocated an iterative process in planning. The assessment of the Indonesian guidelines and practice of water treatment management and planning: (1) proved ineffective, as demonstrated by the inconsistency and discontinuity of development, (2) was based on poor quantity and quality of data, (3) provided inadequate legal background, and (4) was implemented by an inadequate infrastructure. These problems created gaps that can be filled with recommended best practices learned from other developing countries (the Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand, and India). These recommendations include: (1) Establishment of an adequate national information system of watersheds and their management, (2) Improvement of the planning system, to be consistent with the planning hierarchy and to be iterative, (3) Promotion of collaboration and partnerships by the government, (4) Strengthening of the legal system as the foundation of effective watershed management and planning, and (5) Encouragement and strengthening of public participation in watershed management and planning.

▼ Four artificial tracers were applied to a small headwater catchment in south western British Columbia to study runoff generated from topographically distinct landscape units. The seven hectare catchment is located in the University of British Columbia Malcolm Knapp Research Forest at low elevation (190-280 masl). A weir, multiple tipping bucket rain gauges and several piezometers were used to collect hydrological data. Three separate landscape units were identified based on topography, soil properties and proximity to the stream. The units included an area of shallow slope and deep soil, a riparian area along the intermittent stream channel and an area of very shallow soil with bedrock outcrops on a steep slope. Tracers used included rhodamine-WT, uranine, sodium chloride and potassium bromide. A suite of ion selective and fluorometric probes were used along with automated water sampling to monitor tracer breakthrough. The collected samples were analysed in the lab to validate the field measurements. Tracers were dissolved in solution and applied aerially with a backpack sprayer at the onset of forecasted precipitation events to facilitate rapid infiltration into the soil. The first application took place January 4th, 2006. Measurements were then taken continuously until March 20th, 2006, when a second round of tracers was applied to the landscape units. During the first measurement period, 532 mm of precipitation fell below the forest canopy over 75 days. During the second 78 day measurement period, 290 mm of rain fell. It was found that the overall wetness of the catchment affected travel times significantly. Large storms during the first, significantly wetter, application period exhibited similar lag times from peak event discharge to tracer arrival between the different landscape units. During small precipitation events and under dryer conditions, travel times were greatest in the area of shallow slope and deep soils. These lag times are indicative of longer pathways and perhaps the non-initiation of preferential flow below certain thresholds. In general, it was concluded that delineating catchments into groups of similar landscape units based on physical characteristics may be a promising new approach to explaining catchment runoff response.

▼ Water resource management has become a pertinent issue of global environmental concern in response to the conditions of a growing global population, increasing development and a limited freshwater supply. It is against the backdrop of such conditions that effective water resource management has gained popularity in seeking to ensure that the needs of the growing population will be met and secured for future generations. The notion of integrated water resource management (IWRM) is a perspective on water resource management that has evolved out of the global opinion that social and ecological systems are linked and therefore cannot be managed separately. The department of water affairs (DWA) in South Africa highlights the importance of approaching management of water resources from a catchment perspective which forms the basis for a particular integrated approach to management called integrated catchment management (ICM). ICM recognizes the catchment as the correct administrative unit for management. It integrates water resources and the land that forms the catchment area in planning and management. Researchers have described the implementation of ICM as being complicated and difficult. This is no exception to South Africa. Principles of ICM have received widespread prominence in South Africa as they have been incorporated into national water policy. Actual implementation however is still in its infancy. The study is therefore a case study of ICM with respect to factors influencing implementation amongst different stakeholders. The study aims to explore the theme of implementation of ICM within the context of the Gamtoos River Catchment with a view toward identifying and addressing challenges that may be more broadly applicable. The study adopts an inductive, exploratory approach to the connection between theory and practice. A systems-based framework characterized by sequential steps similar to that employed in a case study conducted by Bellamy et al. (2001) in Queensland Australia is used to facilitate the evaluation of ICM in the Gamtoos River Catchment. The evaluation is achieved through a three step process of exploration in the current study. Triangulation is applied to the choice of methods of analysis which involves the use of a global analysis method, the use of learning scenarios and a grounded theory method. Findings reveal seven core themes which help to provide a detailed, contextual understanding relating to the status quo for ICM in the catchment. Results from a grounded theory analysis summarized the main challenges to implementation into five broad categories. Based on this analysis method and the application of the three learning scenarios for the Gamtoos River Catchment, the extent to which these challenges exist was discovered. The state of ICM in the catchment was classified as falling within a condition of a level of success being achieved with room for improvement to a condition of optimal ICM. The study concludes that based on the context of ICM being an example of a Complex Adaptive Systems…

▼ Many resource management controversies indicate disagreement about the possible intended and unintended effects of management actions on ecosystems. Researchers have documented a variety of negative effects on specific ecosystems, e. g. the degradation of salmonid habitat due to mass wasting (Hagans et al. 1986). While the effects of some management actions are reversible, others change systems capacities and are therefore irreversible, e.g. the poisoning of Kesterson Wildlife Refuge with selenium due to agricultural practices (Schuler 1987). The difference between reversible and irreversible management effects is often a matter of scale. Management actions that are out of concordance with the properties of a system have the potential to irreversibly change a system if applied over large spatial and temporal scales. Using the method of contextual watershed classification (Warren 1979) the concordance of forest management with the properties of the Yaquina drainage (an Oregon coastal watershed of 220 sq. mi. size) and its environmental class (the North-central Coast Range) are evaluated. For this purpose, the watershed and its environment are classified according to five components: climate, substrate, biota, water, and culture. Properties are selected that are rather invariant and general, and therefore reflect the potential capacities of system and environment. The climatic, geologic, geomorphic, and hydrologic characteristics are compared to trophic relationships and life history traits of selected tree species in an attempt to understand the biophysical relationships in the forest environment that dominates the watershed. It is found that commonly applied harvest regimes are out of concordance with the biophysical environment and thus have the potential to lead to resource loss. Alternative management practices that would be more concordant with resource properties are proposed. The influence of dominant world views (namely mechanism, realism, rationalism, individualism, utilitarianism, and elitism) on the forest planning process and on the opinions of community leaders is evaluated. It is found that forest management practices, although they are out of concordance with the biophysical environment, are in concordance with the larger cultural environment and the perceptions and opinions of local community leaders. Hence, adopting new practices that are more concordant with the biophysical environment will be difficult. The major hindrance is located in the economic sphere. Concerns relating to the economical sphere are discussed and a probable route to more concordant resource use is proposed. Advisors/Committee Members: Warren, Charles E. (advisor), Bella, David (committee member).

▼ Modeling is an important tool in watershed management. In much of the world, data needed for modeling, both for model inputs and for model evaluation, are very limited or non-existent. The overall objective of this research was to enable development of watershed management plans for agricultural dominated systems under situations where data are scarce. First, uncertainty of the SWAT modelâ s outputs due to input parameters, specifically soils and high resolution digital elevation models, which are likely to be lacking in data-poor environments, was quantified using Monte Carlo simulation. Two sources of soil parameter values (SSURGO and STATSGO) were investigated, as well as three levels of DEM resolution (10, 30, and 90 m). Uncertainty increased as the input data became coarser for individual soil parameters. The combination of SSURGO and the 30 m DEM proved to adequately balance the level of uncertainty and the quality of input datasets. Second, methods were developed to generate appropriate soils information and DEM resolution for data-poor environments. The soils map was generated based on lithology and slope class, while the soil attributes were generated by linking surface soil texture to soils characterized in the SWAT soils database. A 30 m resolution DEM was generated by resampling a 90 m DEM, the resolution that is readily available around the world, by direct projection using a cubic convolution method. The effect of the generated DEM and soils data on model predictions was evaluated in a data-rich environment. When all soil parameters were varied at the same time, predictions based on the derived soil map were comparable to the predictions based on the SSURGO map. Finally, the methodology was tested in a data-poor watershed in Bolivia. The proposed methodologies for generating input data showed how available knowledge can be employed to generate data for modeling purposes and give the opportunity to incorporate uncertainty in the decision making process in data-poor environments.

▼ The recent high profile flooding events – that have occurred in many parts of the world – have drawn attention to the need for new and improved methods for water resources assessment, water management and the modelling of large-scale flooding events. In the case of the Zambezi Basin, a review of the 2000 and 2001 floods identified the need for tools to enable hydrologists to assess and predict daily stream flow and identify the areas that are likely to be affected by flooding. As a way to address the problem, a methodology was set up to derive catchment soil moisture statistics from Earth Observation (EO) data and to study the improvements brought about by an assimilation of this information into hydrological models for improving reservoir management in a data scarce environment. Rainfall data were obtained from the FEWSNet Web site and computed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Climatic Prediction Center (NOAA/CPC). These datasets were processed and used to monitor rainfall variability and subsequently fed into a hydrological model to predict the daily flows for the Zambezi River Basin. The hydrological model used was the Geospatial Stream Flow Model (GeoSFM), developed by the United States Geological Survey (USGS). GeoSFM is a spatially semi-distributed physically-based hydrological model, parameterised using spatially distributed topographic data, soil characteristics and land cover data sets available globally from both Remote Sensing and in situ sources. The Satellite rainfall data were validated against data from twenty (20) rainfall gauges located on the Lower Zambezi. However, at several rain gauge stations (especially those with complex topography, which tended to experience high rainfall spatial variability), there was no direct correlation between the satellite estimates and the ground data as recorded in daily time steps. The model was calibrated for seven gauging stations. The calibrated model performed quite well at seven selected locations (R2=0.66 to 0.90, CE=0.51 to 0.88, RSR=0.35 to 0.69, PBIAS=−4.5 to 7.5). The observed data were obtained from the National Water Agencies of the riparian countries. After GeoSFM calibration, the model generated an integration of the flows into a reservoir and hydropower model to optimise the operation of Kariba and Cahora Bassa dams. The Kariba and Cahora Bassa dams were selected because this study considers these two dams as the major infrastructures for controlling and alleviating floods in the Zambezi River Basin. Other dams (such as the Kafue and Itezhi-Thezi) were recognised in terms of their importance but including them was beyond the scope of this study because of financial and time constraints. The licence of the reservoir model was limited to one year for the same reason. The reservoir model used was the MIKE BASIN, a professional engineering software package and quasi-steady-state mass balance modelling tool for integrated river basin and management, developed by the Denmark Hydraulic Institute (DHI) in 2003. The model was…

▼ The complex system of watersheds involves interconnections of water cycles, human behaviors, and the surrounding environment. Growing demand for water resources due to expanding populations throughout the world has led to the need for better management of watersheds. An increasingly popular approach involves collaborative management of watersheds that engages stakeholders and governance actors working at different scales. At the same time, watershed management has been impacted by a trend toward the decentralization of government services and decision making, particularly in developing countries. Decentralized watershed governance often faces problems including the transfer of authority from federal to regional and local government, building the capacity and resources of local stakeholders, institutional conflicts over management of the watershed, and development of policies and regulations that support local collaborative approaches. Utilizing qualitative methods, this study builds on previous research on the necessary conditions and outcomes required for successful collaborative projects to explain the dynamics and outcomes associated with watershed management in the Wanggu Watershed, Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. Results found that many of the prerequisites for effective collaborative management exist at the provincial and local watershed scale. While there is evidence that processes have been put in place that supports collaborative management, particularly the role of a formal interagency watershed forum at the provincial level, evidence of successful implementation of programs and actual improvements in watershed conditions was less common. Some factors limiting success include political dynamics and turnover, and changes in regulations that do not always empower local leaders. In addition, the success of decentralized watershed governance was shaped by the presence of international aid organizations that were critical convenors of program implementation and participatory processes at the local level.

▼ The effective management of non-point source nutrient pollution continues to prove elusive. Though the scientific literature is unequivocal that all anthropogenic land uses contribute to non-point source (NPS) pollution, variable levels of contribution over time and across location and complex relationships between cost and effect make finding technologically effective management solutions difficult. In addition, these solutions are implemented in a world of scarce resources, diverse and often competing concerns and values, and intense public scrutiny. Clearly, making the best possible decision about how to manage NPS pollution under these conditions is not simple. My overarching goal was to develop and test several practical approaches that provide insight into the implications of management decisions and the trade-offs facing water quality managers using the challenges of restoring Lake Champlain as a test case. I first demonstrate a simple spreadsheet-based method for (1) identifying the areas of greatest potential for further phosphorus reductions, (2) estimating the potential scale of those reductions, and (3) identifying the severe tradeoffs that exist between cost and effectiveness at high levels of management. Results of this method suggest that better and more extensive management of developed impervious surfaces and annual cropland and hayland represent the greatest potential for phosphorus reductions. Farmstead management, combined sewer overflows, and wastewater treatment present little opportunity under the current regulatory environment. Results also suggest that due to order-of-magnitude differences in cost-effectiveness between management practices for developed and agricultural lands, substantial tradeoffs exist between cost-efficiency and equity in the distribution of responsibility for management. Second, in an effort to quantify the variability of NPS contributions over time and space, I developed and applied a Bayesian hierarchical modeling approach to incorporate annual hydrologic variability and uncertainty about land use areas into estimates of land-use specific phosphorus loading rates and watershed-scale residual loading. The model was able to replicate both average load and the variability around that average with an acceptable degree of precision. The results of this approach suggest that for some watersheds, unmanageable sources of phosphorus are dominant. Third, I applied a Bayes network to predict the effects of alternative management scenarios on phosphorus loads. Using evolutionary optimization and a multiple-criteria decision analysis, I explored the tradeoffs between cost, effectiveness, and distributional equity in the burden of management. Results of this study indicate that the probability that phosphorus loads will comply with regulatory targets is, in some watersheds, small under any management scenario. More interestingly, it also appears that there are large differences between watersheds in the ability of management actions to raise those… Advisors/Committee Members: Mary Watzin.

Scholars stress the value of collaborative governance in natural resource management, whereby public agencies engage non-governmental stakeholders in consensus-oriented, deliberative decision-making. Collaboration is especially important for water management, given the need to adapt to and prepare for climate change-related variability and uncertainty. However, collaborative governance scholarship has paid inadequate attention to the effect of actors’ differing belief systems and the socio-spatial relations in which collaborative efforts are embedded. Peru provides a good test case because the national Water Resources Law calls for establishment of river basin councils; however, similar councils varied in their ability to reach and subsequently implement agreements. This work examines how belief systems and socio-spatial relations complicate collaborative governance regimes through analyzing the extent to which, and by what pathways, they affect agreement and implementation within river basin councils in Peru. With evidence gathered from 234 stakeholder interviews across Peru, it employs within-case process tracing and between-case comparison. This dissertation finds that incongruent belief systems and socio-spatial relations from beyond the councils can present challenges to reaching agreements with which stakeholders will voluntarily implement. However, in the cases studied that reached and implemented agreements, stakeholders overcame those challenges by bridging belief systems and aligning stakeholder motivations. Through these insights, this dissertation argues that not addressing incongruent belief systems and socio-spatial relations within water management could cause Peru to miss opportunities to increase adaptive capacity and ensure sustainability of water supplies. These cases highlight several pragmatic strategies to help basin councils reach agreements that will increase the flexibility, sustainability, and fairness of water management. Further, they highlight how these critical factors can deepen collaborative governance theory’s understanding of when stakeholders voluntarily reach and implement agreements.
