Stakeholders : involving all the players

This module is based on the conviction that institutions acting in isolation and with little consideration of water users will have no future in urban water management. Pooling the knowledge, experiences, and resources of stakeholders can significantly improve urban water management. Coordination of needs and interests as well as of strategies and actions is necessary to achieve more efficiency. Encouraging stakeholders to talk to each other is the first step to making Integrated Urban Water Management a reality. This module provides an overview of the most relevant stakeholders in urban water management as well as of a range of alternative ways of working with them. [authors abstract]
