Sustainable Urban Water Governance: Institutional Development and Organisational Change

该研究将提供治理和政策建议，推进跨多个组织和部门在澳大利亚城市的综合城市水管理。拟议研究的好处包括：a)确定当前制度障碍的优先次序；B)确定关键机构改革举措的范围；C)提高领导和创新的机构能力；d)推进促进可持续水资源管理实践的国家优先目标。这也将涉及众议院环境与遗产常务委员会的调查报告《可持续城市》（2005），该报告主张有必要开展旨在促进重大制度和政策变革的研究项目。

The research will provide governance and policy advice for advancing integrated urban water management across multiple organisations and sectors in Australian cities. The benefits of the proposed research include: a) prioritisation of current institutional impediments; b) scoping of key institutional reform initiatives; c) improved institutional capacity to lead and innovate; and d) advancement of the national priority goal of facilitating sustainable water management practices. This will also address the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Environment and Heritage inquiry report Sustainable Cities (2005) advocating the need for research programs directed towards facilitating major institutional and policy changes.
