Effective Institutions: Responding to Change
Institutions are the "who" of lake basin management. They are the organizations, both formal and informal, that implement societal decisions on how to control access to a given lake's resources. Usually, however, they are divided along sectoral lines and require significant efforts at conordination in order to ensure effective lake basin management.
