“…Note 1. See Grigg (2008), Jeffrey and Gearey (2006), and Petit and Baron (2009) for the origin of IWRM as a conceptual framework in water resources management. While the Mar del Plata conference in 1977 marked the introduction of IWRM concept at the international level (Biswas, 2004), it was only after the 1992 Earth Summit held in Rio de Janeiro and the Dublin Conference (ICWE (International Conference on Water and the Environment), 1992) that IWRM gained significant international weight and global importance.…”

Integrated water resources management (IWRM) has been prescribed in the global water policy literature for decades. This article looks at how the concept has been applied in Nepal. It highlights the normative approach in IWRM policy formulation, the existing institutional barriers to apply it and how these resulted in the framing of IWRM 'implementation' as merely a compilation of donor-funded projects. Current discourse on IWRM highlights the need to shift the emphasis from national policy formulation to local adaptive, pragmatic approaches to IWRM. This article brings to light the need to identify potential entry points to scale up locally rooted water management approaches towards the development of nested institutional set-ups in water resources management.

“…Central to this policy framework is the establishment of water management entities on the basis of hydrological boundaries, notably the Agence de Bassin (five basin agencies have been set up in the country) and the Comité Local de l'Eau (CLE) (local water committee) at the local level (the CLE are meant to oversee watersheds of 2,000 to 5,000 square kilometers (km 2 )). To date, about 30 CLE have been set up (Petit and Baron 2009;Sally et al 2011). Initially envisaged as consultation platforms that would bring together multiple water stakeholders to drive water management at the watershed level, most CLEs were actually set up to oversee the management of a specific small reservoir, thus acting as a dam or water user committee (Sally et al 2011).…”

The publications in this series cover a wide range of subjects-from computer modeling to experience with water user associations-and vary in content from directly applicable research to more basic studies, on which applied work ultimately depends. Some research reports are narrowly focused, analytical and detailed empirical studies; others are wide-ranging and synthetic overviews of generic problems.Although most of the reports are published by IWMI staff and their collaborators, we welcome contributions from others. Each report is reviewed internally by IWMI staff, and by external reviewers. The reports are published and distributed both in hard copy and electronically (www.iwmi.org) and where possible may be copied freely and cited with due acknowledgment. About IWMIIWMI's mission is to improve the management of land and water resources for food, livelihoods and the environment. In serving this mission, IWMI concentrates on the integration of policies, technologies and management systems to achieve irrigation and water and land resources. AcknowledgementsThis report synthesizes contributions and research conducted over the last 3 years by the following people: Profs.

“…À cette dimension holistique s'ajoute, souvent de manière implicite, un espace de régulation défini par le bassin hydrologique ou hydrogéologique. La gestion intégrée par bassin (GIB) est un objet de recherche très bien documenté : plusieurs décennies de travaux et de mises en pratique permettent à la fois d'en dessiner les contours et d'en identifier les limites (Biswas, 2004(Biswas, , 2008Savenije et Van der Zaag, 2008 ;Petit et Baron, 2009 ;IJWRD, 2014). Aussi, nous ne revenons pas sur cette modalité de gestion en tant que telle, mais proposons d'éclairer l'écart vis-à-vis de la norme via une étude de cas, nuançant ainsi l'aspect performatif des discours laudatifs.…”

Processus de qualification et construction d’un compromis institutionnel territorialisé. La gestion intégrée de l’eau par bassin dans le canton de Fribourg (Suisse)

International audienceThis article aims at understanding the qualification of natural resources as an endogenous and iterative normative process involving actors with different interests, often conflicting. Promoted by the Swiss federal authorities since the early 2000s, integrated watershed management is considered an imperative for sustainable water use. We consider the case of the renewal process of the water law in the Canton of Fribourg (Switzerland) aiming at implementing an integrated watershed management. However, its operationalization leads us to question the gap vis-à-vis the theoretical model. Thanks to a socio-economics approach, we strive to overpass the “naturalized” and “functionalist” visions of watershed management. In this reserach, qualification is considered as a process that shapes resources attributes, but also the modes of coordination and the regulation scale recommended. This analysis reveals that integrated watershed management has to be considered as a territorial institutional compromise: first, the extent of sectoral integration is not given (which uses are regulated and how?); secondly, the scale finally adopted does not fit exactly the watershed, even though it is presented as the perfect functional space for regulating water use
