Thanks for your comments Frederick. Indeed solutions will require to engage with stakeholders (probably more than educate them) and help them obtain information whereby they themselves choose to change practice because they perceive it to be to their own advantage. I recently gave on this blog an example of such engagement mechanisms in the Andes that you may find interesting. It also explained that there is more to gain from sharing water benefits than from sharing water resources, the latter too often being what IWRM enables.
