Citizen Science for Water Resources Management: Toward Polycentric Monitoring and Governance?

A position paper has been published recently in the Journal of Water Resources Planning and Management, entitled "Citizen Science for Water Resources Management: Toward Polycentric Monitoring and Governance?". The author team reflects the collaboration through the Mountain-EVO project.

The paper develops ideas about polycentric governance of water resources, supported by a polycentric monitoring landscape, as an alternative to tightly integrated and centralized water management systems.
