“…They concluded the need to develop sustainability action plans considering COVID-19 impacts and introducing innovative solutions for economic resilience (Ranjbari et al, 2021b ). Di Vaio, Trujillo, et al ( 2021 ) conducted a structured literature review aiming at analyzing water governance models under the umbrella of sustainable development. They focused on SDG 6 which is concerned with clean water and sanitation and considered the uncertainty caused by COVID-19 on examining the capacity of these models to meet the SDGs (Di Vaio, Trujillo et al, 2021 ).…”

This study is intended to afford a comprehensive overview of the implications of COVID-19 on progress toward achieving the sustainable development goals (SDGs) set out in the United Nations (UN) 2030 Agenda and the state of related research activities on COVID-19 linked to the SDGs. Bibliometric techniques and visual mapping are proposed as methodological tools to better approach the objectives of the present work. This includes: retrieving related publications from Scopus database, investigating the trends and growth trajectories of research works, and analyzing the scenarios post-COVID-19 either optimistic or pessimistic outlooks. The national and international contributions and collaboration toward this theme of research are further analyzed at countries, institutions, and sources levels. This analysis indicates that research works conducted on the impacts of COVID-19 on the achievement of the SDGs are still in the immaturity level. The global research productivity on this topic was just 160 documents (0.19% of total global research productivity in all fields of science with relevance to COVID-19). The implications of COVID-19 on good health and well-being, SDG-3, have attracted considerable attention. It is followed by SDG-13 that concerned with climate changes. The post-COVID-19 scenarios showed deep and justified worries in relation to achieving the SDGs by 2030. This study figures the major issues debated in the literature with respect to COVID-19 and its implications on the SDGs. The study, furthermore, attempts to assess the required actions to advance the SDGs post-COVID-19.

“…Industry failures demonstrate the need to focus on effectiveness and efficiency in delivering WSS. Since 2007, through government regulations and guidelines, the national basic sanitation policy has gradually incorporated incentives into institutions to create an environment conducive for organizations to operate and invest in infrastructure projects to meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically those defined in SDG 6 (Di Vaio et al, 2021).…”

This research investigates the development of water supply and sanitation services (WSS) for vulnerable households, discussing the alignment of policies, institutions, and regulations to provide the right incentives to achieve universal access. It provides evidence of the actions carried out in Brazil, particularly the integration of the recent National Public Policy for the universalization of WSS and assistance to vulnerable areas. The expansion of private sector participation is discussed as an alternative to stimulate the universalization of WSS.

“…The state provides financial and technological means, as well as a set of rules that support the development of users' autonomy in enhancing self-governance irrigation water management [13,36]. Co-management using participatory approaches involving organizations, governmental institutions, and water users to set up priorities and plans is also a necessary condition to foster an effective governance structure, as it allows for coordination and cooperation, improved acceptance of the decisions, and fewer conflicts among stakeholders [18,19,28,34]. In this sense, a participatory co-management framework can be seen as a social learning process, where formal and informal institutions should have the flexibility to adapt their rules [34].…”

“…On the one hand, in the presence of power asymmetries, communities may not be inclusive and may just replicate the existing local power inequalities [23,24]. On the other hand, scholars have also highlighted that the effectiveness or success of self-governed common resources depends on the community characteristics, such as size, community homogeneity, economic endowment, social and cultural aspects, and leadership [8,9,[25][26][27][28][29], and on external factors such as the political and social context, physical infrastructure, definition of property rights, and policy interventions [30][31][32][33]. As for community characteristics, for example, Luo et al [9] and Arvanitides et al [25] showed that smaller communities can create opportunities for interactions that, in turn, facilitate agreements and monitoring, thus increasing the chances for the community to engage in collective action.…”

Governing Water Resource Allocation: Water User Association Characteristics and the Role of the State

Water, as a common pool resource, is threatened by the possibility of overextraction generating a negative economic impact, conflicts among users, and greater income inequality. Scholars have discussed different governance approaches to deal with this threat, including centralized governance and self-governance, and lately, special attention has been paid to the interactions between formal institutions (the state) and local water user associations and how this promotes self-governance. The aim of this paper was to examine the adoption of Ostrom’s design principles present in the legal norms dictated in the Chilean Water Code by water user associations and to analyze the roles of their size, community homogeneity, and perceived water stress on adopting legal norms. The results showed that water communities generally follow the rules established in the Water Code, but the voting system, distribution of water, and fee payment are adjusted in small and homogenous water user associations. We can also conclude that a cornerstone in the system is implementing graduated sanctions, as water users see the tools provided by the Water Code as ineffective.
