Models are widely used to research hydrological change and risk. However, the power embedded in the modelling process and outcomes is often concealed by claiming their neutrality. Our review shows that in the scientific literature relatively little attention is given to the influence of models on development processes and outcomes in water governance. At the same time, an emerging body of work offering critical insights into the political implications of hydrological models and a nuanced understanding of their application in context has begun to flourish. Drawing on this work, we call for power-sensitive modelling which includes the following considerations: take a holistic approach to modelling beyond programming and coding; foster accountability; work towards just and equitable water distributions; be transparent about the expectations and choices made; and democratise modelling by giving space to and being mindful of representations of multiple bodies of knowledge and multiple stakeholders and by incorporating marginalised people and nature into the modelling process. Our call should not be understood as a suggestion to do away with modelling altogether, but rather as an invitation to interrogate how quantitative models may help to foster transformative pathways towards more just and equitable water distributions.

This paper analyzes how practices in water diplomacy, and in particular in international water negotiations, are gendered and with what effects. We conduct a comparative analysis of three intergovernmental decision-making forums on international rivers: the Nile Technical Advisory Committee, the Chu-Talas Water Commission, and the International Commission for the Protection of the Rhine. These three cases demonstrate how gender is relational and creates situations in which gendered norms and values are strengthened, challenged, and changed, and sometimes used strategically to gain more power. In addition, two specific dynamics were observed: first, aligning with gendered stereotypes, confrontational practices in water negotiations are perceived as masculine and cooperative ones as feminine. Second, women’s participation in negotiations leads to both male and female negotiators adapting their behavior, resulting in a tendency towards less openly confrontational dynamics in more gender-balanced settings.

To avoid negative societal implications from water management actions, the complex interrelations between water and conflict need to be understood. Assessment of such links in complex adaptive systems, characterized by various factors which mutually influence each other, is challenging. This paper explores how the use of participatory methods can support the identification of water-related conflict risks in one such complex adaptive system: the Inner Niger Delta in Mali. We find that participatory analysis not only facilitated the identification of systemic risks in a complex adaptive system, but also shapes the perceptions of these interlinkages.

As the number of studies on remote sensing data for water management and governance increases, few articles reflect on their application in practice. This article shares learnings from the application of Water Accounting Plus (WA+) in a federal river basin in India. WA+ was applied to the Cauvery basin to contribute to solving transboundary water-sharing issues by providing a source of transparent data obtained through reproducible methods. By analysing how WA+ results and methodology were received, we show how data and models are also political and question the assumption that more data automatically lead to more equitable decision-making.

This volume assesses the nexus of gender and transboundary water governance, containing empirical case studies, discourse analyses, practitioners’ accounts, and theoretical reflections. Transboundary water governance exists at the intersection of two highly masculinised fields: diplomacy and water resources management. In both fields, positions are mainly held by men, and core ideas, norms, and guiding principles that are presented as neutral, are both shaped by men and based on male experiences. This book sheds light on the often hidden gender dynamics of water conflict and cooperation at the transboundary level and on the implicit assumptions that guide research and policies. The individual chapters of the book, based on case studies from around the world, reveal the gendered nature of water diplomacy, take stock of the number of women involved in organisations that govern shared waters, and analyse programmes that have been set up to promote women in water diplomacy and the obstacles that they face. They explore and contest leading narratives and knowledge that have been shaped mainly by privileged men, and assess how the participation of women concretely impacts the practices, routines, and processes of water negotiations. This volume will be of great interest to students and scholars of water governance, water diplomacy, gender, international relations and environmental politics. It will also be of interest to professionals and policymakers involved in supporting gender mainstreaming in water cooperation.

Life Science ,WASS ,Water Resources Management - Abstract
The International Commission for the Protection of the Rhine (ICPR) as a River Basin Organisation stands out with a majority of women in leading positions. However, gender has not been addressed in the many studies done on water governance and water cooperation in the Rhine basin. Organisational structures are not gender neutral, although they are often presented as such. Gendered organisations create barriers and opportunities for those who participate. The aim of this descriptive single-case study is to therefore identify how transboundary water governance in the Strategy Group of the ICPR is socially constructed with a specific focus on gender. This chapter applies the four substructures of Acker’s (1992; 2012) theory of organisations to interviews and literature review. Using these substructures, namely how they produce and perpetuate gendered assumptions, behaviours, and power relations, the chapter aims to gain a better understanding of the influence of often invisible gendered processes on the people working in the Strategy Group of the ICPR.

The concluding chapter discusses how the different chapters of this volume have made visible the often hidden and highly contextual gender dynamics in different empirical case studies on transboundary water governance. By doing so, it reflects on how a feminist perspective can broaden our analytical space to gain a deeper understanding of practices, structures, and outcomes of transboundary water governance. It concludes with identifying three sub-projects to advance feminist engagement with transboundary governance, namely identifying and exposing gendered norms and knowledges, learning from experiences in mainstreaming gender, and finding new ways of framing transboundary water governance.

Life Science ,WASS ,Water Resources Management - Abstract
Based on interviews, this chapter shares the stories of five female water professionals from Southern and Northern Africa, Europe, South America, and Southeast Asia, who reflect on their education, work history and discipline, interactions with (mainly male) colleagues, and challenges and opportunities related to being a woman working in transboundary waters. Through sharing their personal stories, in all their diversity, this chapter draws attention to how experiences of women have been generally underrepresented in scientific studies on transboundary waters. The accounts highlight how relations between countries are managed by the people who, with their own experiences, wishes, values, and ideas, work in gendered social systems that affect men and women differently.

Most people on this planet are under the age of 35. They have been raising their voices in discussions on climate change in recent years, while this is well documented, their roles in water cooperation are not. Drawing on examples from desk research, an online survey, and action research alongside young water leaders, this article seeks to map out various ways young people engage in water conflict and cooperation. This paper contributes to literature on water leadership by recognizing the fluid and adaptive roles of young people in water conflict and cooperation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

DIPLOMACY , *COOPERATION , *WATERWORKS , *INFORMATION sharing - Abstract
Water cooperation and diplomacy processes often rely on the tools and capacities that academic and research institutions can offer. However, groups of scientific experts in the field of water cooperation and diplomacy are often small and relatively discrete, suggesting that greater sharing of knowledge and interconnection of expertise could generate further impetus for development of this important theoretical and applied academic field. With this understanding, a network of academic institutions working on water diplomacy and cooperation called Universities' Partnership for Water Cooperation and Diplomacy was established in 2018, and the same year it was presented at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. This opinion article discusses the role that academic and scientific institutions play in water diplomacy and cooperation, and reflects on the contribution that partners of the Universities' Partnership can jointly make to further the cause of water cooperation and diplomacy.

WATER management ,WATER distribution ,NETWORK governance ,EMPIRICAL research ,WATER consumption - Abstract
The goal of the study is to strengthen the analytical purchase of the term water governance and improve the utility of the concept for describing and analyzing actual water distribution processes. We argue this is necessary as most writing on water governance is more concerned with promoting particular politically inspired agendas of what water governance should be than with understanding what it actually is. We believe that water governance at heart is about political choices as to where water should flow; about the norms, rules and laws on which such choices should be based; about who is best able or qualified to decide about this; and about the kind of societal future such choices support. We identify distributions—of water, voice and authority, and expertise—as the empirical anchor and entry-point of our conceptualization of water governance. This usefully allows foregrounding questions of equity in water governance discussions and provides the empirical foundation for a meaningful engagement with the politics of water governance.
