    Abstract

    This chapter brings together some of the main issues related to people and place in river basin management that need to be acknowledged and are presented in this book. It first examines the power of people and their relationships in defining the scope and focus of water management, including how river basins are socially constructed and how power can shape IWRM in practice. It next focuses on the importance of place and contextualized knowledge for developing improved river basin management practice. It finally considers the complexity of water governance systems, governance mechanisms and the need for continuous adaption of brokering mechanisms for integration and innovation.
