Decision-making by local water users
-
has a high degree of specificity that builds on local knowledge
-
relies on self-imposed rules, but may require external “carrots” and/or “sXcks”
-
can lead to outcomes that are perceived as more beneficial to stakeholders when compared to regional water management approaches
