Water International, 2023, vol. 48, issue 7, 809-838

Abstract: Resilience has gained prominence in many fields of research and practice globally. In the water sector, efforts to build resilience have become a central feature of water governance. However, current scholarships frame resilience interventions in socio-ecological systems through adaptive governance. There is limited knowledge about what the adaptive governance agenda means as a technical approach to water governance in achieving resilience. This paper clarifies these linkages through a review of the literature. It identifies key attributes of adaptive governance for building resilience of socio-ecological systems and suggests the benefits of better articulating ‘good governance’ with ‘adaptive governance’ to foster water resilience.
