TL;DR: This Handbook reflects on past, present and future challenges to water security and strategies on how to overcome them and will also appeal policymakers and practitioners interested in a deeper understanding of this important concept.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a methodological framework for the initiation and design of transition governance processes based upon a conceptualization of sustainability transitions as multilevel learning processes, which includes participatory modeling, a systematic literature review and governance system analysis to identify social units (learning subjects and contexts), challenges (learning objects) and intervention points (learning factors) relevant for initiating case-specific transition governance process.

TL;DR: In this article, the main players in developing and diffusing the integrated water resources management concept have included expert groups, international organizations, and multistakeholder platforms, which cooperated in various activities promoting the IWRM concept, such as knowledge generation and sharing, capacity building, and monitoring.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study the evolution of flood management in four case studies in the Dutch and German Rhine, the Hungarian Tisza, and the Chinese Yangtze basins during the last decades.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated whether, to what extent and how a transition toward integrated flood management has taken place in the Dongting Lake area at the middle Yangtze, and developed an analytical framework linking regime components to two societal learning types (double and triple-loop learning) that are key to a regime transition.
