Rural Appraisal

South Africa has hundreds of thousands of hectares of heavily populated and badly degraded landscapes. Past attempts at land management have been either through avoidance or the top-down imposition of “betterment” schemes. Participatory methods offer a new opportunity for communities living within these catchments to share their knowledge and to become involved in planning and implementing the management process. This paper discusses the use of Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) in a catchment rehabilitation programme in rural KwaZulu/Natal, the lessons learnt and the prospects for wider application.

Basin Water

This paper describes the Australian Murray-Darling basin experience in integrated catchment management, what has been achieved and what remains to be done. The basin water is shared by three states, but falls under the jurisdiction of four governments, that of the Commonwealth as well as the State governments. The critical development in recent years at the political and bureaucratic level was the establishment of a three-tier management structure that allows common interests to be developed, discussed, resolved and implemented. Two main problems had to be resolved before significant co-operative action could take place, namely the issues of water sharing between the states and the sharing of costs associated with Murray River salinity. A framework Salinity and Drainage Strategy was developed to address this, and is described. This paper also describes the Natural Resources Management Strategy, the cornerstone of efforts to sustain the natural resources of the basin. The strategy emphasises community participation and empowerment. The problems identified, strategic aims to address these problems and the role of community action are detailed.

Abstract By reviewing related studies, published journal articles, research and government reports, this study explored the challenges in water governance, focused on the planning for integrated catchment management (ICM) and stormwater source control (SC) in Bangkok and its catchment. The review revealed implementation barriers, and eight categories of challenge: fragmented roles and responsibilities; technocratic bureaucracy; limitations of the regulatory framework; financial barriers; physical barriers; challenges of integrated knowledge; an uncoordinated institutional framework; and limited community and stakeholder involvement. The understanding of barriers to ICM planning and SC approaches is crucial for developing strategies that diminish barriers and increase the implementation of alternative solutions.
