Abstract: Water management steers a middle course between control and chaos. The concept of control in water management is the topic of this paper. Conditions for control in water management are: aconsistent policy, gaining support and an adequate informationsupply. It is demonstrated that the balance between these three conditions of control depends on the type of water managementconsidered. In this paper four different types of water management are distinguished based on the conditions for control.The concept presented in this paper is validated on basis of three case studies. The paper concludes with a presentation of an approach which is interactive and aims at an integral and sustainable development. Copyright Kluwer Academic Publishers 2001
