Description

Today, raising capacity in water resources management entails supporting stakeholders and decision-makers to reach a common understanding on the priorities and necessary arrangements for sharing and allocating water-related goods and services.

Valuation is central to this process, as setting priorities and making choices implies valuing certain uses and arrangements above others.

Water valuation can help stakeholders to express the values that water-related goods and services represent to them.

It also offers a means for conflict resolution and planning, informing stakeholders, supporting communication, and facilitating joint decision-making on priorities and specific actions.

This report confronts concepts from the literature on water valuation with practical experiences from three local cases where an effort was made to embed existing valuation tools and methods in ongoing water resources management processes.

It uses the lessons from this exploration to provide a first outline for a stakeholder-oriented water valuation process.

This is expected to provide a useful starting point to help water professionals and policy-makers improve the use of water valuation as a means to support participatory processes of water resources management.
