“…A series of workshops conducted with 80 farmers and 44 institutional stakeholders suggest that there is a strong social preference for decentralized solutions and cooperative arrangements, while economic instruments like taxes and market are strongly rejected mainly based on ethical considerations (Figureau et al 2015;Rinaudo et al 2014). Similar conclusions were reached by Montginoul and Rinaudo (2009) from a survey conducted in southern France by Rinaudo et al (2014). Overall, water remains perceived as a free access good and implementing economic instruments is considered to be a drastic shift in paradigm.…”

“…There are however still a number of places where this does not happen. Field investigations conducted by the authors in the Roussillon plain, Southern France, showed that only 1 % of domestic boreholes and 40-63 % of agricultural boreholes have been declared (Montginoul and Rinaudo 2009;Desprats et al 2011). In that case study area, the Chamber of Agriculture collects the information on wells from farmers but they withhold it fearing that it can be used against them in the future.…”

Groundwater can be considered as a common-pool resource, is often overexploited and, as a result, there are growing management pressures. This chapter starts with a broad presentation of the range of economic instruments that can be used for groundwater management, considering current practices and innovative approaches inspired from the literature on Common Pool Resources management. It then goes on with a detailed presentation of groundwater allocation policies implemented in France, the High Plains aquifer in the USA, and Chile. The chapter concludes with a discussion of social and political difficulties associated with implementing economic instruments for groundwater management. IntroductionAs detailed in Chap. 2 and elsewhere in this book, groundwater abstraction has increased considerably over the last few decades for both agricultural and urban uses. In many parts of the world, government agencies have not paid sufficient

“…The expert group included representatives from the farmers' associations, market operators, the administration, and a few scientists. Experts were identified based on a stakeholder analysis conducted as part of a previous project (Aunay et al, 2007;Montginoul and Rinaudo, 2010). During this workshop we asked participants to identify the main factors that had determined the development of agriculture over the last 20 years, considering both factors external (e.g., the entry of Spain into the Common Market in 1981) and internal factors (e.g.…”

a b s t r a c tWe discuss methodological issues related to the development of long term future agricultural water demand scenarios. We present the results of original research which combines the use of scenario workshops with quantitative crop water requirement modeling approaches. Using a Southern France case study, we describe four scenarios, debated with farmers and stakeholders during workshops and evaluated in terms of total water demand. Results suggest that socio-economic evolution could lead to a 40% increase of irrigation water demand. From a methodological perspective, the research highlights the mutual benefits for both policy makers and scientists of involving stakeholders in the development of scenarios, using both qualitative storylines and quantitative modeling tools.

“…The average farm size is 18 ha. The drop in the water tables, which began 30 years ago (Montginoul and Rinaudo 2009), is expected to continue as the population continues to increase and the farming sector progressively abandons surface canal irrigation systems in favour of wells and boreholes. In response to the increasing pressure on the groundwater, local authorities and government agencies have actively supported the establishment of a participatory forum, called the Local Water Commission.…”

Participatory analysis for adaptation to climate change in Mediterranean agricultural systems: possible choices in process design

There is an increasing call for local measures to adapt to climate change, based on foresight analyses in collaboration with actors. However, such analyses involve many challenges, particularly because the actors concerned may not consider climate change to be an urgent concern. This paper examines the methodological choices made by three research teams in the design and implementation of participatory foresight analyses to explore agricultural and water management options for adaptation to climate change. Case studies were conducted in coastal areas of France, Morocco and Portugal where the groundwater is intensively used for irrigation, the aquifers are at risk or are currently overexploited, and a serious agricultural crisis is underway. When designing the participatory processes, the researchers had to address four main issues: whether to avoid or prepare dialogue between actors whose relations may be limited or tense; how to select participants and get them involved; how to facilitate discussion of issues that the actors may not initially consider to be of great concern; and finally, how to design and use scenarios. In each case, most of the invited actors responded and met to discuss and evaluate a series of scenarios. Strategies were discussed at different levels, from farming practices to aquifer management. It was shown that such participatory analyses can be implemented in situations which may initially appear to be unfavourable. This was made possible by the flexibility in the methodological choices, in particular the possibility of framing the climate change issue in a broader agenda for discussion with the actors.
