Understanding water cycle systems from both natural and sociocultural perspectives is important for water resources management, bearing in mind the role that cultural values, beliefs, and practices play in shaping how people value and use water. Sociocultural factors also impact the institutional and governance structures that oversee water access and management.
The Asian Development Bank Institute (ADBI) and Japan Water Forum are seeking original, unpublished policy papers featuring case studies that examine water resources management and its sociocultural dimensions in Asia and the Pacific. Authors of selected papers will be invited to present their work at a related workshop. Selected papers will also be considered for inclusion in an edited volume to be presented to policy makers at the World Water Forum 2024 in Bali, Indonesia.
Policy paper topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Sectoral and government coordinating mechanisms for formulating water resources management master plans
- Conflict mitigation governance and water allocation
- Financing approaches to water sector investment
- Community-based efforts to manage water-related disasters
- Sociocultural factors influencing acceptance of new water management technology
- Water management systems managed by local communities
