1 Integating conflict analysis in dought isk management: Some hints fom the Mediteanean aea Raffaele Giodano Wate Reseach Institute National Reseach Council, Italy Macela Bugnach Iene Pluchinotta Faculty of Engineeing Technology, Univesity of Twente, The Nethelands LAMSADE - CNRS, Univesité Pais Dauphine, Fance Rottedam, 10 may 2016 Dought and poblem faming System boundaies Decisions Decisions Decisions Infomation Rottedam, 10 may

2 Dought and poblem faming Memoy Expeiences Expectation Behaviou Definition The way dought is defined influences a stakeholde's expectation of futue dought, and leads stakeholdes to adopt diffeent behavious and to act o eact in diffeent ways duing a dought phenomenon conflicts. Dought isk management in the context Goal Policy Context Goal of the othes Ecology of action As soon as an individual takes an action, whateve that action may be, it begins to escape fom his intentions. The action entes into the univese of inteactions and in the end, it is the envionment that seizes it in the sense that it can become the opposite of the initial intention. E. Moin, On Complexity Actions of the othes 2

3 Dought isk management in the context Dought isk management policies failues occu because they do not match the peculiaities of the contexts in which they ae implemented Densely amified netwok of inteactions (COMPLEXITY) that happen among actos with diffeent poblem fames (AMBIGUITY) What othe decision-actos involved in the netwok ae going to do is lagely unknown, making difficult to pedict whethe the choices pay off o not (UNCERTAINTY) Dought isk management in the Apulia Region THE CASE STUDY The egional wate authoity poposed the enfocement of estictive measues in the use of goundwate in case of dought The new legislation caused stong conflicts between fames, the egional authoity and the iigation consotium due to the expected economic damages to the agicultual secto. Due to this conflicting situation, the Wate Potection Plan has not been implemented yet, and the egional authoity is caying on a time consuming evision pocess. This wok aims at investigating how ambiguity affected the policy implementation. 3

THE LEARNING PROCESS The iigation consotium became awae of the impotance of poviding infomation to fames in time to actually influence thei decision pocess. The iigation consotium became awae of the illegal pumping activities, which equies a bette undestanding of the impact of the wate pice policy. The egional authoity intoduced the iigation consotium s ole in influencing the fames behaviou. Acto J coefficients Analyst Iigation consotium 0,64 Analyst Fame 0,53 Analyst Regional Authoity 0,62 7

8 THE LEARNING PROCESS Concluding emaks THE LESSONS LEARNED Decision actos have a limited undestanding of the complexity of the inteaction space. Decision actos tend to neglect the existence of diffeent and equally valid poblem faming they ignoe the ambiguity. In ode to take actions, decision actos make assumptions about how the othes ae going to act and/o eact to thei actions conflicting situation. Collaboative dought isk management claims fo a decision-making envionment in which the paties ae fully awae of thei ole and the oles of the othes in the inteaction envionment (intedependency pinciple). 8
