Abstract

[Departement_IRSTEA]Eaux [TR1_IRSTEA]GEUSI; WETwin is a research project supported by the European Commission under the Seventh Framework Program. Its overall objective is to enhance the role of wetlands in basin-scale Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM), with the aim of improving the community service functions while conserving good ecological status. Decisions about wetland management are made in a complex and dynamic context involving a range of stakeholders with different and sometime competing objectives. The aim of the WETwin project is to provide a rigorous framework for evaluating the effects of alternative development strategies to identify best compromise management solutions that are ecologically sustainable, socially acceptable, and economically sound, taking into account values of different stakeholders. This report describes application of the WETwin decision framework to identify and assess management solutions for each case study. Chapter 1 outlines the theoretical framework used in the analysis and discusses general conclusions and lessons learnt; the remaining chapters describes application of the DSF to each case study site.

Abstract

[Departement_IRSTEA]Eaux [TR1_IRSTEA]GEUSI; WETwin is a research project supported by the European Commission under the Seventh Framework Program. Its overall objective is to enhance the role of wetlands in basin-scale Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM), with the aim of improving the community service functions while conserving good ecological status. This report addresses formulation of management responses to the drivers, pressures and impacts on wetlands identified in case study sites. Within the WETwin conceptual framework a range of options are identified from which management solutions can be built up. In principle, each option can be carried out alone, but in practice, combinations of several responses are likely to be combined into comprehensive management solutions. Further this document identifies performance indicators used for the evaluation of the management solutions and describes a set of models and expert assessment tools used for this purpose. An overview of generic responses available for wetland management and rehabilitation is presented. Management responses are separated into groups of similar measures targeting specific wetland components. Such a grouping gives a clearer overview of possible measures, and facilitates transfer of these generic groups to other wetlands. A brief overview of the process of identifying, elaborating and combining management options into implementable packages of management solutions is then provided. Site-specific management options and solutions are presented for seven case studies: Ga-Mampa, Inner Niger Delta, Nabajjuzi, Namatala, Abras de Mantequilla, Lobau and Gemenc wetlands.

Abstract

[Departement_IRSTEA]Eaux [TR1_IRSTEA]GEUSI; To enhance the recognition of the role of wetlands in basin scale water resources management the WETwin project was initiated, aiming to improve drinking water and sanitation services of wetlands; to improve wetland community services while conserving or improving good ecological health; to adapt wetland management to changing environmental conditions; and most importantly, to integrate wetlands into river basin management. WETwin puts a lot of emphasis on stakeholder participation as part of the research process, to ensure the constructive engagement with the entire spectrum of societal actors throughout the project life cycle. It considers stakeholder participation as a cross-cutting continuous process throughout the project. Stakeholder analysis and the development of an engagement strategy have been conducted in each developing country case study wetland selected. In the European study wetlands only the stakeholder analysis took place. This document is the report of the stakeholder analysis and engagement strategy development process that took place during the first year of the WETwin project. It sets out the methodology and gives an account of the stakeholder analysis results and established engagement strategies, and site specific recommendations for further stakeholder engagement of the case study sites. It also presents the stakeholder analysis guidelines used in all case studies as well as the stakeholder engagement guidelines developed to ensure the systematic and constructive engagement of stakeholders throughout the project.

Abstract

WETwin is a research project supported by the European Commission under the Seventh Framework Program. Its overall objective is to enhance the role of wetlands in basin-scale Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM), with the aim of improving the community service functions while conserving good ecological status. This report presents the initial vulnerability assessment of case study wetlands to global changes conducted under the WETwin project. This includes: i) the development of three global changes scenarios in line with the IPCC SRES scenarios but complemented with recent trends and ideas derived from Millennium Assessment Scenarios; ii) the development of DPSIR (Driving force, Pressure, State, Impact, Response) chains for each case study to identify and explore the major environmental and livelihood problems (impacts) at the study sites; iii) the definition of site-specific storylines to focus on specific research questions and also support the development of regional scenarios; and iv) initial vulnerability assessment for the southern case studies. Results are provided for each of the seven case study sites of the WETwin project in Europe, Africa and South America.

Abstract

To enhance the recognition of the role of wetlands in basin scale water resources management the WETwin project was initiated, aiming to improve drinking water and sanitation services of wetlands; to improve wetland community services while conserving or improving good ecological health; to adapt wetland management to changing environmental conditions; and most importantly, to integrate wetlands into river basin management. WETwin puts a lot of emphasis on stakeholder participation as part of the research process, to ensure the constructive engagement with the entire spectrum of societal actors throughout the project life cycle. It considers stakeholder participation as a cross-cutting continuous process throughout the project. Stakeholder analysis and the development of an engagement strategy have been conducted in each developing country case study wetland selected. In the European study wetlands only the stakeholder analysis took place. This document is the report of the stakeholder analysis and engagement strategy development process that took place during the first year of the WETwin project. It sets out the methodology and gives an account of the stakeholder analysis results and established engagement strategies, and site specific recommendations for further stakeholder engagement of the case study sites. It also presents the stakeholder analysis guidelines used in all case studies as well as the stakeholder engagement guidelines developed to ensure the systematic and constructive engagement of stakeholders throughout the project.
