Mainstream opinions forward the idea that changes in water policies should go in the direction of Integrated Water Resources Management at the level of the river basin (or watersheds). For its implementation, river basins organizations (river basins authorities, river basins committees, communities of users, multi-stakeholder platforms, etc.) and stakeholders’ participation are promoted. Multi-Stakeholder Platforms (MSPs) are presented as neutral spaces for negotiations in order to solve water conflicts among different actors, which are all invited to join the table. Evidence from this case study suggests that even where water is put forward as the main conflict to be tackled, this may background more sensitive issues at stake which shape the arenas of negotiation of policy design and implementation. MSPs can be used to foreground issues which are easy to address, but can also background wider social and political complexities. This is pursued by using technical language to justify political definitions of boundaries, stakeholders and processes of participation. The “Watershed as a unit of planning” approach is also presented as a neutral way of using a technical definition to set the boundaries for resource management. However, this study shows that the definition of boundaries is not necessarily as natural as it appears but much more of a political decision that defines which resources are involved and which actors are considered or left out.
