TL;DR: In this article, a case study on sustainable flood management and a literature analysis are provided to show the relevance of multiple paradigms in sustainable development issues and propose an iterative learning approach to continuously deepen students' understanding of participatory processes and develop their ability to facilitate stakeholder processes.

TL;DR: The concept of global water system has been proposed in this paper, where the authors uncover a vastly wider web of connectivities that bind together the flow of water on a global scale, such as physical (e.g., upstream storages of water cause large scale changes in the residence time of surface water), economic (i.e., water is embedded in food and other products and traded internationally), and even institutional (e., decisions about trade of water technology have a global impact).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a set of six dimensions of fit for water governance regimes and empirically explored variation in measures of these in 28 case studies of national parts of river basins in Europe, Asia, Latin America, and Africa drawing on a database compiled by the Twin2Go project.

TL;DR: Consumer attitudes towards the new technology were explored in a number of citizen focus groups in Switzerland and the majority of the citizens expressed their willingness to move into an apartment with NoMix toilets and to buy food fertilized with urine.

TL;DR: In this article, a diagnostic approach which considers context and problem characteristics while maintaining some level of generality constitutes a promising third way for successful water governance is proposed, which can be used to find general patterns of successful governance without resorting to simplistic blue-prints.
