WE1 - Rhine basin
Step: Policy context description: water use policies
| case: | WE1 | |
| location: | Rhine basin (Netherlands) | |
| sectors: | Water resources; Marine and Fisheries |
Question addressed in this step
What policies on use of water for agriculture, for nature, for industrial use along the Rhine exist?
Reason for chosing this question
- The adaptive tipping point analysis promises to become a heuristic approach which facilitates the evaluation of actual and future adaptation policies. - We focus on three aspects of water use of Rhine water because it builds on existing research. - The choice of agriculture and nature also relates to the most important land uses in the Rhine river basin. - Analysis of urban areas is not included, due to the high level of fragmentation of policies and situations.
What method has been applied
Inventory of actual adaptation policies and land use change trends, using literature surveys and interviews in the Rhine river basin.
