Integrated water governance with adaptive capacity

Water is one of the most valuable natural resources provided by our environment. Man exploits water, distributes and treats it and has to avert floods. Sustainable water management, in terms of a task of prime importance in politics and society, attracts widely diverging interests that need to be optimized. The research project Integrated water governance with adaptive capacity examines what an integrative Swiss water policy might look like.
