本文探讨了目前水政策处方三位一体的主导地位：多利益相关者平台，综合水资源管理和流域管理。需要采取一种更加反思的方法，以开放这些概念背后的选择及其局限性。选择以河流流域为基础管理水资源是一种政治选择，因此河流流域既是自然单位，也是政治单位。文章的结论是，河流流域边界的划定，利益相关者代表的结构，以及河流流域管理的制度安排的创建是围绕着选择的问题，因此需要民主辩论的政治过程。
This article engages with the currently hegemonic status of a triad of water policy prescriptions: multi-stakeholder platforms, integrated water resources management, and river basin management. A more reflective approach that opens up the choices underlying these concepts, and their limits, is needed. The choice to manage water on the basis of river basins is a political choice, and thus river basins are as much political units as they are natural units. The article concludes that the delineation of river basin boundaries, the structuring of stakeholder representation, and the creation of institutional arrangements for river basin management are political processes that revolve around matters of choice, and hence require democratic debate.
