Abstract:

Innovative participitory institutions are emerging in the domain of natural resource management. In Colorado, there are more than forty local watershed initiatives involving citizen-based watershed groups. Often these groups are collections of existing groups that are interested in working on common problems through a collaborative, sometimes consensus-based approach. Water management entities may be able to use the strategies of adaptive management, cooperation, and collaboration in various trans-basin and transboundary arrangements, but limited agency and state resources may make effective and efficient planning and implementation problematic. This paper extends, modifies and suggests a particular framework for measuring democratic effectiveness of collaborative natural resource management regimes.
