Unprecedented change in
structure and functions
Patterns of change
• Ecosystems in some regions are returning to conditions
similar to their pre-conversion states
• Rates of ecosystem conversion remain high or are
increasing for specific ecosystems and regions
Introduction
Introduction
•More land was converted to cropland in the 30 years after
1950 than in the 150 years between 1700 and 1850.
Cultivated Systems in 2000 cover 25% of Earth’s terrestrial surface
C.G. 5
(Defined as areas where at least 30% of the landscape is in croplands, shifting cultivation,
confined livestock production, or freshwater aquaculture)

Introduction
• 15 - 35% of irrigation withdrawals exceed
supply rates and are therefore
unsustainable (low to medium certainty)
• Securing water for people
• Securing water for food production
• Developing sustainable job creating
activities
• Protecting vital ecosystems
• Dealing with variability
• Managing risks
• Raising awareness and understanding
• Forging the political will to act
• Ensuring collaboration across sectors and
boundaries
• IWRM is a process which promotes the
co-ordinated development and
management of water, land and related
resources, in order to maximize the
resultant economic and social welfare in
an equitable manner without
compromising the sustainability of vital
ecosystems.

Integration in IWRM
Natural System Integration
• Integration is necessary but not sufficient,
it cannot guarantee development of
optimal strategies, nor the solution of
conflicts;
• Two basic categories of –within and
between – integration:
– Natural system: resource availability
and quality
– Human system: resource use and
depletion.
• Managing the continuum of water bodies
(inland, coast, ocean);
• Managing water and land (river basin as a
planning unit)
• Focus on “Green water”, not only on “Blue
water”
• Managing surface and ground- waters
• Managing quantity and quality
• Managing up-stream and down-stream

Introduction: WRM
• Focus on the dynamic interactions between
nature and society, to learn how to:
1. integrate the effects of key processes across
the full range of scales from local to global;
2. make society able to guide those interactions
along sustainable trajectories
3. implement participatory procedures involving
scientists, stakeholders, citizens, to transform
knowledge claims into trustworthy, socially
robust, usable knowledge, for the
transition to sustainability
1. How to integrate nature-society interactions?
2. How evolving nature-society interactions will
influence long term trends in environment and
development?
3. What determines vulnerability and resilience of
nature-society systems?
4. Can scientifically meaningful “limits” be defined?
5. What system (market, rules,…) can improve
more the social capacity to guide interactions
with nature?
6. How to improve systems for monitoring,
modelling and reporting?
7. How can today’s research activities be integrated
into systems for adaptive management and
societal learning?

• Social-ecological systems (or socioecosystems; SES): complex adaptive
systems where social and biophysical
agents are interacting at multiple
temporal and spatial scales;
→the concept emphasizes the adoption of a
single integrated approach for the
analysis of both social and economical
agents and the natural components of the
ecosystem
C.G. 34
Socio-ecosystem governance
Pixelizing vs. socializing
• The main challenge for the study of
governance of social-ecological systems is
improving our understanding of the
conditions under which cooperative
solutions are sustained, how social
actors can make robust decisions in the
face of uncertainty and how the
topology of interactions between social
and biophysical actors affect governance
ªBuild up adaptive capacity: the capacity
of a SES to manage resilience in relation
to alternate regimes
• Socializing the pixels: to take remote
sensing and other geophysical data
beyond their usual use in applied
sciences, to address the concerns of
social sciences (patterns → processes)
• Pixelizing the social: linking socioeconomic infromation and models (e.g. SABM) with raster imagery (processes →
patterns)

Decision making processes
Analysis
• Scenario: A plausible and often simplified
description of how the future may develop,
based on a coherent and internally consistent set
of assumptions about key driving forces and
relationships.
→ neither predictions nor projections
→ “narrative storyline.”
→ derived from projections of models but often also
from additional information from other sources.
→ A small set (typically 3 or 4) of scenarios is
usually created and analyzed for investigations
into possible/plausible futures.

• Scenarios can help evaluate different action
steps and identify "robust" actions
(decisions/policies) that make sense across a
wide variety of future conditions.
• Scenarios development is a fundamental
component of decision making
• Scenarios are especially important where there is
high uncertainty about the future.
• A set of several significantly different scenarios
helps "bound the uncertainty" of the future so
that an organisation can systematically plan for
future contingencies and clarify its preferred
vision of the future.
interpreting, and communicating knowledge from diverse
scientific disciplines in such a way that the whole set of
cause-effect interactions of a problem can be evaluated
from a synoptic perspective with two characteristics:
1. It should have added value comparable to single
disciplinary oriented assessments
2. It should provide useful information to decision
makers

• Spatial data analysis may represent a significant
part of the theoretical background of ecological
and economic analyses (assumptions,
robustness, etc.);
• Analysing socio-ecosystems without robust
spatial methods is like analysing time series
without knowing the chronological order of data;
• Integrated models could contribute to improving
decision/policy making processes;
• DSS’s based upon the DPSIR framework, in
combination with GIS, IAM and MCA
functionalities show great potential for NRM;
• Significant gaps do exist between scientific
knowledge and policy making.
C.G. 72

Filling the science-policy gap
(2/2)
• Different priorities and objectives of stakeholders
and researchers are the main causes of the
existing gaps
• Key actors should be preliminary identified and
involved all phases of the decision making
process
• It is necessary to adapt approaches and tools to
the users’ needs and not vice-versa
• Flexibility should be assured all along the
development and implementation process
• Supporting the decision process also means
making knowledge accessible and easy to
understand
• The ability to implement expert knowledge (i.e.
detained by qualified persons) in the process is
of fundamental importance
• Indicators play a fundamental role in providing
concise and targeted quantitative features of the
various aspects to be considered in the choice
• A plethora of approaches is available for the
assessment of alternative options
• Sensitivity and uncertainty analysis, and quality
assurance should be carried out during all the
development phases and the outputs associated
with the results
• Capacity building and training of end-users
(policy makers or consultants) are necessary to
ensure that the process is not mismanaged or
the tools misused
• The improvement of the quality of the decision
process is the main indicator of success
