‘natural resource management is much more about managing relationships than managing
resources’
(Natcher 2007)

Research Context
• IRWMP: transition to new governance model
• Widening stakeholder participation in NRM: exploring the ‘stakeholder infrastructure’
• Water resources, uses and users: influences on management, historical legacies, water rights, information needs for collaborative decision making

WEAP model schematic
Model includes: 324 catchments 25 Reservoirs 39 diversions 33 hydropower plants 14 transmission links to 13 major water demands

Additional Pressures
• Changing/conflicting policy landscapes.• Upstream/in-region demands.• Downstream/out-of-region demands.• Fiscal Pressures on resources.• Uncertainty: climate change, land use change,
information needs.

Research Questions
• Collaborative process in CABY region?• Form of SH participation?• Multiple ‘Knowledges’ and values ?• Network structures/processes?• Impact on collaboration of multiple overlapping
processes/participation?
• IRWMP regions within Sierra Region?
11
CABY Region Stakeholder Infrastructure includes
• IRWMP: state funding mechanism: state directive.
• FERC Hydro-relicensing application processes : federal mandatory.
• Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP): state mandatory.
• Yuba Salmon Forum (YSF) : watershed-based voluntary.
• Sierra Water Works Group (SWWG) : Sierra-wide IRWMP group – voluntary.
12
Research Approach
• Ethnographic – interviews, participant-observation.
• Stakeholder / Social Network analysis : SH meetings, public outreach meetings, project collaborations
• Knowledge mapping: disciplinary, professional, experiential, cultural
• Document analysis: organizational mission statements, SH participation guidelines, legislation/regulatory, response letters.

Building Capacity for Collaborative Resilience
• Spatial and temporal ‘nesting’
• Diversity – heterogeneity, asymmetry, redundancy in resource/social /institutional components.
• Changes in network structure, process
• Self-organizing systems: accountability and ‘leadership’ @ sense-making, challenging, facilitating
• Knowledge: substantive, strategic – ‘ecology of games’; (Social) learning, uncertainties, adaptive
16
Building Capacity for Collaborative Resilience
• ‘Fuzzy and overlapping’ collaborative networks
• Collaboration as a temporal and spatial process, not an event – collaborative memory
• Importance of place-based associations and spatial (re)scaling
