| Short description: |
This paper addresses the challenges that an emerging water epoch brings to both civil society and governance regimes in developed
economies, and aims to explore the opportunities and constraints to meeting changing conditions of water availability and quality
efficiently, effectively and equitably. Through reviewing past evolutions of water governance regimes and examining forthcoming
threats and opportunities, the paper seeks to argue that effective policy tool development to support integrated water resource
management (IWRM) can be aided by tightening the bonds between concepts of legitimacy and efficiency. Though exploratory, the
paper contends that it is through developing water governance regimes in this manner that societies facing water stress can evolve the
requisite adaptive capacities needed to ensure continuity of freshwater resources.
