Assessment reports. attitudes by stakeholder and evolve positive behaviour change towards the river basin and its natural resources. Stakeholder dialogue will lead to the development of an efficient water resource management that maximises the resultant benefit to stakeholders in an equitable manner with compromising the sustainability of the ecosystem. Stakeholders maintain the current level of interest in the dialogue process. Government remains support of devolved water resource management arrangements.
