Beskrivning

This book determines that watershed protection and restoration in the 21st century requires adaptive and responsive strategies that incorporate regulatory frameworks in conjunction with community stakeholder engagement. The severity and pervasiveness of watershed pollution require building resource capacity through the formation of multi-sector strategic alliances. Given the complexities of watershed management and the need to leverage resources to achieve better environmental outcomes, understanding the role of motivations in watershed collaboration is vital to the efficacy of watershed protection and restoration endeavors. The authors use an in-depth case study to investigate the social processes and the motivations that drive organizations operating within a shared local watershed to voluntarily direct their resources and participate in watershed collaboration.

In a time of increasingly scarce resources and unpredictable climate change, the management of a healthy watershed depends on the partnership between an array of public and private actors. Diaz-Kope and Morris explore these linkages and fill a critical need in the literature by offering insight into how and why sectoral differences influence motivation to collaborate in watershed management. The result is a substantial examination of watershed management collaboration that will undoubtedly be of interest to scholars, students, and those interested in the preservation of some of our nation’s most fragile resources.
