- Stakeholders’ Interaction in Water Management System: Insights from a MACTOR Analysis in the R’Dom Sub-basin, MoroccoPublication . Ben-Daoud, Mohamed; El Mahrad, Badr; Moroșanu, Gabriela Adina; Elhassnaoui, Ismail; Moumen, Aniss; El Mezouary, Lhoussaine; ELbouhaddioui, Mohamed; Essahlaoui, Ali; Eljaafari, SamirThis paper aims to examine the stakeholders' interaction in the water management system at the R'Dom Sub-basin (Morocco). For this purpose, The MACTOR participatory approach was implemented to involve all key water stakeholders and to analyze their interactions. The action system was characterized by the analysis of related water issues and relevant actors on the ground. Thus, ten actors and twelve objectives were identified and assessed in this study. The analysis of stakeholder role allowed to identify the typology of stakeholders according to their strategic objectives and to evaluate their power, influence and dependence, as well as their convergence in a global water cycle management. The results show a significant level of convergence among stakeholders, despite the existence of certain stakeholders who may be considered autonomous, given their low involvement in integrated water management. Furthermore, there was a limited involvement of stakeholders in certain strategic objectives such as capacity building, technical means, and awareness-raising actions. The paper shows the need to generate greater collaborative efforts among water stakeholders involved in the implementation of integrated water resources management in the R'Dom sub-basin.
- Water resources planning and management: from stakeholders’ local actions to the global perspectivePublication . Ben-Daoud, Mohamed; El Mahrad, Badr; Moroșanu, Gabriela Adina; Ben-Daoud, Abderrahmane; Swe, Wint Mon; Elhassnaoui, Ismail; Essahlaoui, Ali; Eljaafari, SamirWater planning and management, especially during periods of water stress, is becoming challenging for water managers worldwide. The aim of the present study was to provide an integrated water resources management (IWRM) plan designed to water management implementation at the local scale. This study was conducted in Morocco, a country which opts for anticipatory and long-term planning for the 2021-2050. The objective-based stakeholder interaction approach was adopted to establish the impact relationship between stakeholders and to develop an integrated water resources management (IWRM) plan. Thus, ten actors were involved and twelve water-related issues were identified and analysed. As a result, an analysis of stakeholders' engagement was carried out based on an indicator framework on the impact between actors and the similarity between the actors' objectives. The stakeholder's analysis shows a high level of the objective similarity amongst some stakeholders which is very important indicator to recognise in the IWRM planning process. Furthermore, an IWRM plan was developed, which consisted of nine components aimed at either implementing or enhancing the water management process. This IWRM plan emphasised capacity building and stakeholders' participation as main input of the process. The findings provide a roadmap for effective IWRM implementation through the operationalization of water management actions.
