The authors reflect on the theory and process of creating effective strategies for adaptive river basin management. We formulate our framework from observations of responses to environmental and hydrological change in the Great Ruaha River in Tanzania. We find that problems occur in the pursuit of 'integrated water resources management' (IWRM) that can be attended to by applying a focused expedient approach in three states of the water availability regime: 'critical water', 'medial water' and 'bulk water'. In particular, less reliance on broad generic 'principles' and greater reference to solutions being drawn up by local resource users in relation to identified conflicts helps guide adaptive problem solving.

This project, based in the Great Ruaha River Basin in Tanzania, is looking at basin level water management impacts on agricultural productivity and wetlands. The main focus is to identify whether water currently going to rice production could be 'saved' and reallocated for dry season environmental flows; and if so, how this could be done. Working with local partners and with UK-based institutions, the IWMI component focuses on the use of an integrated set of models to examine interactions between different water uses in the basin.
