Abstract

Currently, adaptation to water resources changes is one of the priorities in integrated WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT. The capability of learning from past experiences is one of the main characteristics of such an adaptive structure which is crucial in dealing with changes. Adopting a SOCIAL LEARNING framework, this study aims to assess the WATER INSTITUTION (both formal and informal) in the TASHK-BAKHTEGAN BASIN. The SOCIAL LEARNING loops, orientation and direction features were adopted to assess the formal institution. To assess the informal institution, the drought of 2008 was considered as the change that affected the water resources system of TASHK-BAKHTEGAN BASIN. The responses of informal WATER INSTITUTION to that change were then assessed. Formal institutions were assessed by using qualitative content analysis of water law and project's documents. Informal institutions were detected by using snowball sampling and were assessed by using semi-structured interview and qualitative content analysis. For formal institutions, the results showed that this structure relies on the national authorities and has low level of learning capacity. In the informal sector, the components of SOCIAL LEARNING process were generally found low in the upstream (because there is still enough water resources), but those components were found at much better levels in the downstream. The assessment of SOCIAL LEARNING outputs components showed that the downstream sub-regions were at a higher level of SOCIAL LEARNING capacity comparing with the upstream (double and TRIPLE LOOPS OF LEARNING are active), and the responses were oriented towards better conservation of water resources. Furthermore, the width of those responses went beyond individual levels to collective and participating levels. Therefore, those sub-regions showed to have higher level of adaptation capacity. For the WATER INSTITUTION of the TASHK-BAKHTEGAN BASIN, this paper suggests that implied mechanisms of water laws need to be modified, national and centralized governance requires to be transformed to participatory and cooperative structures, private and public institutions need to be initiated, and finally the components of SOCIAL LEARNING process, that were found at a low level, require to be improved.
