| Description | Managing water resources in an integrated way takes place in a governance context where many different actors try to influence decisions regarding the water system. Actors like public authorities, (water) companies, water user associations, environmental ngo's, citizens and experts all want to have their say and try to reach their goals. Water governance is therefore characterized by a mix of conflict, negotiation and cooperation between a variety of interests, frames and values.
