“…These include embracing uncertainty about future hydrologic variability, or a holistic understanding of the hydrological cycle to include runoff, green water, precipitation, etc. Others promote flexible, inclusive, open, and adaptive cogovernance institutional models that allow for effective deliberation with stakeholders, and learning and policy experimentation (Gunderson et al 2006, Baker et al 2009, Pahl-Wostl et al 2010, Berkes et al 2012, Cosens and Williams 2012, Rockström et al 2014b). In the context of urban water, for example, Jabareen (2013) defines resilient cities as those in which governance is able to quickly restore basic services and resume social, institutional, and economic activities after a disaster.…”

“…Rodina (2019a, b) further https://www.ecologyandsociety.org/vol24/iss4/art28/ observed the marked persistence of disciplinary divides stemming from the different traditions in the resilience scholarship, also evident in the vast diversity of framings and propositions seen in the literature. At the same time, in light of looming uncertainty about future hydrological variability, many authors now increasingly argue for integrative and holistic approaches to water management that are better able to address complex interdependencies (Baker et al 2009, Cosens and Stow 2014, Pahl-Wostl 2015. This includes encompassing the various dimensions of the water cycle, such as green water (i.e., water in vegetation and soil moisture) and blue water (i.e., freshwater in lakes, streams, etc.…”

Scholars and policy-makers are advocating for increasing the resilience of water systems, both social and biophysical, to climate change impacts, and global environmental change more broadly. But what is "water resilience," and what does it imply for water resources management and water governance? Generally, water resilience may include ecological aspects of water quality or flood mitigation, engineered infrastructure to ensure safe and reliable water supply and to mitigate floods, and the socially inclusive and equitable governance of these systems. Following this, our goal was twofold: (1) explore and draw out a comprehensive set of water resource management strategies across sectors that are likely to contribute to increased resilience, and (2) investigate whether disciplinary divides are indeed a barrier toward convergence around key water resilience actions. To address these two gaps, we drew on a survey of experts in resilience and various aspects of water management and governance (n = 420), and aimed to synthesize their views on the specific strategies that can help enhance water resilience. Specifically, we surveyed experts across various water domains from ecosystem management to drought and flood management. Overall, we found that while debates about how to theorize or operationalize resilience in relation to different systems-social or biophysical-may be unresolved, there is considerable convergence among various experts about which actions are likely to make water systems more resilient to increasing risks and uncertainties. The most widely agreed upon strategies for building water resilience revolve around improved ecosystem health, integration across scales, and adaptation to change.

In the past, mill races were part of the urban structure of many towns in Slovakia. As regulated and artificially created waterways, they served to drive mills, rollers, or hammers. With the use of new sources of energy, they lost their functions, and most of them were dried, filled, or buried underground. In our research, we examine the former mill race corridor in Podolínec (Prešov region, Slovakia) and its potential to contribute to urban regeneration strategies. The research steps included the following, namely 1. Identification of the route of the mill race corridor according to historical sources, 2. survey of its current state and its spatial preservation in the urban structure, 3. evaluation of the possibilities of its new uses, which could increase the quality and attractiveness of urban public spaces. The research results show that the fragments of the corridor of the extinct mill race are still identifiable in the urban fabric, and in the cadaster, they are in public ownership and suitable for new uses. The fragments of the corridor of the extinct mill race in Podolínec represent a potential for strengthening the blue and green infrastructure, pedestrian and cycling greenways, and a potential for the presentation of cultural heritage values, which could contribute to the improvement of the qualities of the urban environment.
