What is Public Participation in Water Resources Management and Why is it Important?

Abstract Control of water is control of life. How we exercise this control reveals what we value, who we are, and what type of society we seek to become. Water management and its civil infrastructure is closely linked to our civic culture. Participation is central to such linkages. This paper looks at five dimensions of participation to discern why it is important to decision makers in water resources management.
