“…Moreover, the meetings we conducted confirmed the existence of certain levels of conflict. This conflict concern the agricultural irrigation, the digging of wells and boreholes, the water use from dams and the granting of operating authorizations, all of which are sensitive and represent potential points of conflict (Ait Kadi and Ziyad, 2018;Ben-Daoud et al, 2021;Del Vecchio and Mayaux, 2017).…”

“…Based on these objectives drawing the strongest involvement, importance was given to the availability of water data by stakeholders as this is crucial in evaluating the indicators' performance in IWRM implementation (Ben-Daoud et al 2021. Stakeholders made this choice based on the reality that water data are not continuous and not accessible to everyone (Ben-Daoud et al, 2021). This requires the actors to spend more effort to improve the accessibility of water data for both managers, and academics by implementing Law 31-13 on access to information.…”

“…With the same importance as water data, stakeholder participation is also crucial. Moreover, the involved stakeholders in the study area have not yet evolved to levels that allow for real involvement and consultation in the decisive stages of the management process (Ben-Daoud et al, 2021;Hargrove and Heyman, 2020;Newton and Elliott, 2016). The insufficiency in the implementation of laws and standards related to water such as Law 10-95; law 36-15, constitutes one of the factors limiting the real implementation of policies related to water resources management.…”

“…As for the link among objectives, there is a high degree of proximity between some objectives, such as "Water Data" and "Assessment tools". This alignment means that there is an influential relationship between water data and assessment tools (Ben-Daoud et al, 2021;Hargrove and Heyman, 2020).In another way, the assessment of the state of water resources management is certainly influenced by the availability of data in a timely manner and with reliable quality (Charnay, 2011). A high degree of alignment between the objectives related to partnership level and stakeholder participation is observed.…”

This article aims to understand the typologies of stakeholders, their role in the water resources management system in the R’Dom Sub-basin(Morocco), and to identify the current and desired interactions among stakeholders. For this purpose, The MACTOR participatory approach was adopted to involve all key water stakeholders and to analyze their interactions. The action system was characterized by the analysis of related issues and relevant actors on the ground. Thus, ten actors and twelve objectives were identified and assessed in this study. The analysis of stakeholder games allowed to identify the typologies of stakeholders according to their strategic objectives and to evaluate their power, influence and dependence, as well as their convergence in a global water management system. The results show a significant level of convergence among stakeholders despite the existence of certain stakeholders who may be considered autonomous given their low involvement in integrated water management. Furthermore, there was a limited involvement of stakeholders in certain strategic objectives such as capacity building, technical means, and awareness-raising actions. The paper shows the need to generate greater collaborative efforts among water stakeholders involved in the implementation of integrated water resources management in the R'Dom sub-basin.

This paper aims to examine the stakeholders' interaction in the water management system at the R'Dom Sub-basin (Morocco). For this purpose, The MACTOR participatory approach was implemented to involve all key water stakeholders and to analyze their interactions. The action system was characterized by the analysis of related water issues and relevant actors on the ground. Thus, ten actors and twelve objectives were identified and assessed in this study. The analysis of stakeholder role allowed to identify the typology of stakeholders according to their strategic objectives and to evaluate their power, influence and dependence, as well as their convergence in a global water cycle management. The results show a significant level of convergence among stakeholders, despite the existence of certain stakeholders who may be considered autonomous, given their low involvement in integrated water management. Furthermore, there was a limited involvement of stakeholders in certain strategic objectives such as capacity building, technical means, and awareness-raising actions. The paper shows the need to generate greater collaborative efforts among water stakeholders involved in the implementation of integrated water resources management in the R'Dom sub-basin.
