Abstract

This chapter delves into the critical role of resilient water governance in addressing the complex challenges posed by climate change, urbanization, and environmental degradation. It explores the evolution of resilience thinking from ecology to governance, highlighting the importance of adaptive, absorptive, and transformative capacities in ensuring water security and ecosystem protection. The text presents key strategies for building resilience in water governance, including institutional flexibility, polycentric governance, and stakeholder participation. It also examines specific strategies for drought and flood resilience, such as water recycling, diversifying water sources, and green infrastructure. The chapter concludes with policy recommendations for embedding resilience principles into water governance systems, emphasizing the need for capacity building, sustainable management practices, and comprehensive monitoring and evaluation frameworks. By integrating resilience principles, water governance systems can become more flexible, inclusive, and adaptive, ensuring the long-term sustainability of water resources.
