“…There is often a gap between the stakeholders being targeted and their collective voice in model development (Polpanich et al. ). The FPIT differs from other models and tools in that it focuses on the ROI for limited funds which is critical to stakeholders.…”

“…So, of course, several platforms or tools could provide similar estimates as those that have been presented herewhich begs the question is there a need for another tool? There is often a gap between the stakeholders being targeted and their collective voice in model development (Polpanich et al 2017). The FPIT differs from other models and tools in that it focuses on the ROI for limited funds which is critical to stakeholders.…”

“…As such, local experience and expertise must be integrated where possible to help mitigate risk and inform restoration planning, thereby helping to increase successful local implementation of any resultant plans (Polpanich et al 2017). A challenge in this regard is not only to initiate dialogue with various stakeholders but also to communicate the impacts of various restoration and management decisions on resources (Jonsson et al 2011;Suhardiman et al 2015).…”

“…These approaches seek to involve numerous stakeholder perspectives (i.e., not only water managers and government officials but also other interested parties). This can often be achieved through workshops or interviews to capture stakeholder voices and willingness to implement certain strategies (e.g., Polpanich et al 2017). A participatory process can also be used in the model development procedure whereby stakeholders are actively engaged from the first step.…”

In this study, we develop the Floodplain Investment Tool (FPIT) to help stakeholders prioritize conservation efforts to maximize return on investments (e.g., ensure the most “bang for the buck”). We applied the FPIT for the 177 mi2 (458 km2) Paulins Kill watershed located in northwestern New Jersey, as a case study focusing on nutrient loading. The resultant FPIT reflected independently assessed habitat and ecosystem impairment scores across the watershed. Nutrient load (both total phosphorus [TP] and total nitrogen [TN]) estimates made with the FPIT were in relative agreement across scales with a more robust modeling approach and allowed for development of several application scenarios. For example, we estimated a well‐targeted budget of $2 million could reduce annual nutrient load to be approximately 530 lbs (240 kg) of TP and 5,835 lbs (2,647 kg) of TN for the watershed. Where the clear value for the FPIT can be seen is in the process by which it was pilot‐tested for application and stakeholder voices were integrated into its development. This allows for a level of transparency not available from more top‐down approaches where stakeholders are involved only at the end of the development process.

The rapidly changing global water management landscape Rapidly changing global conditions will make water resources management and provision of services increasingly complex-more than ever before in human history. These changing conditions will be precipitated by issues like population (number and structure), urbanization, industrialization, economic development, growth of the global middle class and their increasing aspirations for a better standard and quality of life, environmental quality, ecosystems needs, changing societal attitudes and perceptions, and their interactions. Climate change and fluctuations are already adding extra levels of uncertainty. Continued mismanagement and poor governance practices all over the world spanning several decades have ensured that water security for humankind is at a crossroads at present. Numerous policy and market failures in the water sector have received limited corrective attention from policy makers and governing institutions. The result has been misuse, over-exploitation and contamination of water all over the developed and developing worlds, though their magnitudes and extents vary over space and time. There is an urgent need to formulate and implement future-oriented, business-unusual water policies and strategies that can reform and strengthen public institutions, properly manage urban and rural environments, increase public-and private-sector investments, encourage prompt adoption of available and forthcoming new technologies, consider good management practices irrespective of where they originate, and develop a new generation of capable managers and experts from different disciplines and sectors with good analytical and communication skills. Historically, water management policies and plans have been mostly framed narrowly on a sectoral basis, with very limited consideration of future drivers from other sectors which are likely to affect water management increasingly profoundly, in both quantity and quality. Very seldom have water managers considered addressing societal attitudes and perceptions of water-related issues, and how they are likely to change in the future. The emphasis continues to be on short-term fashionable solutions like Integrated Water Resources Management and Integrated River Basin Management, neither of which has been able to provide sustainable and implementable policies or solutions for macro-and meso-scale projects and programmes over at least two generations. These non-performing concepts will become even more irrelevant in a future world which will be more complex, uncertain and unpredictable. Future water problems cannot be solved by using past paradigms and experiences that have not proven to be effective (Biswas & Tortajada, in press). The dynamics of the human future will be determined not by any single issue but by the constant interactions between a multitude of them. Increasing population, urbanization, industrialization, globalization and human aspirations will require more economic and equitable development and improved managem...
