NGO’s suggested a similar development at the annual meeting for
Rönne River Committee (Galaz, 2005). These locally initiated plans
included a broadening of water management scope and activity
compared to the existing water associations’ focus on point sources
and monitoring activities. The planned activities mainly consisted
of the construction of wetlands and buffer zones in the agricultural
landscape to be performed on a voluntary basis by interested
farmers. Thus, their participation was at core for implementing the
project. The action plans for KRC and RRC were similar in terms of
scope and activities. However, the proposed plans lead to different
outcomes in the catchments, both regarding the realization of the
plans and institutional development.
