Developing Capacity on Water Ethics and Integrity - A Network Approach 31 May 2013
Panelists: • Teun BASTEMEIJER (Director, Water Integrity Network) • Francoise Nicole NDOUME (WIN Program Coordinator for West Africa) • David GROENFELDT (Director, Water-Culture Institute, and Coordinator, WEN) • Ramon LLAMAS (Director, Botin Foundation Water Observatory) • Rafael ZIEGLER (Greifswald University, Social-Ecological Research Group)
Why Worry about Water Ethics? • Water management decisions are driven by values (ethics) which are often tacit (i.e. not recognized consciously) • Current water management is unsustainable • Awareness about the operative values is an important step for achieving sustainable management • Identify the values, then reflect on them, then try to adopt better ones. • “You can’t manage what you don’t know”
