‘natural resource management is much more about managing relationships than managing

resources’

(Natcher 2007)

Research Context

• IRWMP: transition to new governance model

• Widening stakeholder participation in NRM: exploring the ‘stakeholder infrastructure’

• Water resources, uses and users: influences on management, historical legacies, water rights, information needs for collaborative decision making

WEAP model schematic

Model includes: 324 catchments 25 Reservoirs 39 diversions 33 hydropower plants 14 transmission links to 13 major water demands

9

Additional Pressures

• Changing/conflicting policy landscapes.• Upstream/in-region demands.• Downstream/out-of-region demands.• Fiscal Pressures on resources.• Uncertainty: climate change, land use change,

information needs.

10

Research Questions

• Collaborative process in CABY region?• Form of SH participation?• Multiple ‘Knowledges’ and values ?• Network structures/processes?• Impact on collaboration of multiple overlapping

processes/participation?

• IRWMP regions within Sierra Region?

11

CABY Region Stakeholder Infrastructure includes

• IRWMP: state funding mechanism: state directive.

• FERC Hydro-relicensing application processes : federal mandatory.

• Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP): state mandatory.

• Yuba Salmon Forum (YSF) : watershed-based voluntary.

• Sierra Water Works Group (SWWG) : Sierra-wide IRWMP group – voluntary.

12

Research Approach

• Ethnographic – interviews, participant-observation.

• Stakeholder / Social Network analysis : SH meetings, public outreach meetings, project collaborations

• Knowledge mapping: disciplinary, professional, experiential, cultural

• Document analysis: organizational mission statements, SH participation guidelines, legislation/regulatory, response letters.

Building Capacity for Collaborative Resilience

• Spatial and temporal ‘nesting’

• Diversity – heterogeneity, asymmetry, redundancy in resource/social /institutional components.

• Changes in network structure, process

• Self-organizing systems: accountability and ‘leadership’ @ sense-making, challenging, facilitating

• Knowledge: substantive, strategic – ‘ecology of games’; (Social) learning, uncertainties, adaptive

16

Building Capacity for Collaborative Resilience

• ‘Fuzzy and overlapping’ collaborative networks

• Collaboration as a temporal and spatial process, not an event – collaborative memory

• Importance of place-based associations and spatial (re)scaling
