Far less concern focuses on the core questions of governance-how, by whom, and under what conditions different approaches are enabled or selected. These questions of governance are, however, central to addressing water problems in the current context where climatic, hydrologic and socio-economic conditions are subject to extreme variability and potentially fundamental change.
