Uncovering indicators of adaptive water capacity: A rapid systematic map

Abstract

The global water crisis is driven by the absence of effective and efficient governance systems.There is a large and growing need to benchmark the current status of water governance in Canada and monitor trends over time. This research seeks to inform the development of a rapid, low cost and consistent indicator framework by reviewing the global literature on water governance indicators. We used a rapid systematic map to identify, screen and review 49 studies and the indicators they use to assess adaptive water governance capacity across 12 dimensions.
