Analytical framework
Based on the above, the development of institutional arrangements
for local water governance in the case study is analyzed
focusing on three aspects: the scope, the organization and activities
in practical water management in the catchments. The scope
refers to the ambition and delimitation of the catchment-based
water management, as stated in plans and statutes. The organization
of water management describes who is involved, how and
at what stage in the process and how actors collaborate. Activities
refer to which extent the plans are implemented, i.e. what
measures are actually conducted. This framework allows an analysis
of how institutional arrangements can entail active stakeholder
participation.
