title: Workshop 3 (synthesis): catchment-based governance--compromise building and institutional arrangements.
abstract: The catchment-based approach is widely recognised as essential to deal properly with water resources issues. For this to succeed political will and a widely based commitment are needed; these can best be developed by the participatory process, but for the developed consensus to lead to a successful outcome it must be based on sound technical appraisals and advice.
