迫切需要大胆和创造性的解决方案来保障未来的用水。作为回应，协作创新越来越受到支持。如果包括水务公司、供应链公司、研究机构和当地社区在内的利益相关者共同努力，分享经验，集思广益，就可能发生有意义的变化。但有效的合作远非易事。虽然文献提供了许多可能的因素，影响合作创新的成功（或失败），它仍然不清楚哪些因素是最重要的，最高的协议和分歧存在的，如果容纳一个因素会造成另一个问题。这一点很重要，因为它并不总是实用的，也没有必要，应用一切从学术文献。在本文中，我们报告了一项国际系统性文献综述的结果，该文献综述汇集了一系列跨越水合作和水创新鸿沟的研究。我们确定了22个广泛的主题，这些主题在整个合作创新过程中分布（不均匀）;强调了对每个主题的关注程度如何变化很大;以及存在分歧的地方。我们的研究为如何在水领域创造更有效的合作创新以及未来的研究方向提供了实用的见解。
Bold and inventive solutions are urgently needed to safeguard the future use of water. In response, collaborative innovation is increasingly championed. If stakeholders including water utilities, supply-chain companies, research institutions and local communities work together, share their experiences and pool ideas, meaningful change could happen, it's argued. But effective collaboration is far from easy. For every incentive that drives collaboration forward, another barrier blocks its path. Whilst the literature offers many possible factors that influence the success (or failure) of collaborative-innovations, it remains unclear which factors are most important, where the highest agreement and disagreement exists, and if accommodating one factor creates problems for another. This is important because its not always practical, nor necessary, to apply everything from the academic literature. In this paper, we report findings from an international systematic literature review that brings together a range of studies that cross the water collaboration and water innovation divide. We identify 22 broad themes that are spread (unevenly) across the entire collaborative-innovation process; highlight how the level of attention given to each theme varies greatly; and where disagreement exists. Our research provides practical insights on how to create more effective collaborative-innovations in water and where future research should be directed.
