The result and analysis of the case study are presented in
chronological order from the time for the establishment of water
associations in the catchments (1958 and 1978, respectively) to
2013. The results focus on how local water management has
developed in terms of scope, activities, and the organization including
who is involved and how (see Tables 2 and 3). The study
shows differences in institutional development between the catchments,
as response to water quality problems, including how active
stakeholder participation in the practical implementation of water
quality improvement measures has been enabled.
