Abstract
Selfregulation of groundwater users offers tremendous potential for effective groundwater management The attributes of higherlevel authorities that are more likely to facilitate the beneficial management of groundwater in economic social and environmental terms are discussed For this purpose eight groundwater user associations in Spain have been compared Factors that support institutional change were analyzed namely salience common understanding trust and reciprocity autonomy prior organizational experience and local leadership These factors are complemented by features that strengthen actions by higherlevel authorities that oversee selfregulation by water users clear boundaries legitimate recognition of appropriators facilitating roles trust in crossscale linkages clear division of responsibilities institutional culture and comanagement model choices Selfregulation includes the creation of reflexive organizations that are capable of learning provided first the administration itself is modernized to meet the challenges of selfregulation and second that ‘regulatory capture’ is avoided by external organizations ensuring that the regulator and the regulated are not so close in their relationship as to be detrimental to effectivenessLautorégulation des utilisateurs deau souterraine offre un potentiel formidable pour la gestion efficace de leau souterraine Les attributs des plus hautes autorités qui sont à même de faciliter la gestion bénéfique de leau souterraine en terme économique social et environnemental est présenté Pour cela huit associations dutilisateurs deau souterraine en Espagne ont été comparées Les facteurs des changements institutionnels ont été analysés revenus compréhension commune confiance et réciprocité autonomie expériences organisationnelles majeures gouvernance locale Ces facteurs sont complétés par les aspects qui contraignent les actions par les plus hautes autorités couvrant lautorégulation par les usagers frontières nettes reconnaissance législative des propriétaires moyens de facilités les rôles confiance dans les liens croisant diverses échelles organisationnelles division claire des responsabilités culture institutionnelle et choix des modèles de cogestion Lautorégulation inclut la création dorganisations réfléchies capables dapprendre à condition que premièrement ladministration ellemême soit modernisée pour rencontrer les défis de lautorégulation et que deuxièmement la ‘régulation capture’ soit évitée par les organisations externes là où le régulateur et le régulé sont suffisamment indépendant dans leurs relations de manière à assurer que larrangement du travail reste efficaceLa autorregulación de usuarios de agua subterránea ofrece un potencial tremendo para la gestión efectiva de agua subterránea Se discuten los atributos de las autoridades de alto nivel que son más probables de facilitar la gestión benéfica del agua subterránea en términos económicos sociales y ambientales Con este objetivo se han comparado ocho asociaciones de usuarios de agua subterránea en España Se analizaron factores que apoyan el cambio institucional tal como prominencia entendimiento común confianza y reciprocidad autonomía previa experiencia organizacional y liderazgo local Estos factores se complementan con elementos que fortalecen acciones de autoridades de alto nivel que supervisan autorregulación por usuarios de agua aclarar límites legitimar el reconocimiento de apropiadores medios para facilitar roles confianza en vínculos de jerarquía cruzada aclarar división de responsabilidades cultura institucional y selección de modelos de gestión compartida La autorregulación incluye primero la creación de organizaciones reflexivas que son capaces de aprender media vez se ha modernizado la administración misma para alcanzar los desafíos de autorregulación y segundo que se evite la ‘captura regulatoria’ por organizaciones externas mediante la cual el regulador y el regulado son suficientemente independientes en su relación para asegurar que los convenios alcanzados permanezcan efectivos
