500 + case studies
User survey conducted
March – May 2012
326 Responses (26% Governments; 26% Academia; 26% NGOs; 14% private; 5% students)
A broad application: education and training dominate
Favorite: case studies
In addition, findings about case studies (survey with lecturers 2015)
• Many case studies deal with IWRM processes implemented in west/north
developed world that are not applicable to developing nations. • Many IWRM case studies searched at free access databases are made for a
specific purpose – to capture the findings of individual projects with a limited follow up after the project is completed.
• There was a strong request from universities that GWP should devote resources
to develop peer reviewed case studies to be qualified for university education.
• It is recommended to create teams of academics and practitioners to develop case studies in order to complement academically sound analysis with practical realities
