Climate change and biodiversity loss have brought to light the critical importance of protecting water resources and water-related ecosystems. This has led to the development of flood protection policies, which are essential in mitigating the impacts of water-related disasters. In response to this need, this book explores the latest applications of network analysis concepts and measures to the study and practice of water governance.

The book covers a wide range of topics, including individual water governance aspects such as flood protection and fisheries, as well as overarching concepts like integrated water management and social-ecological interactions. It provides an overview of current water governance issues, network analytic concepts, and their implications for practice.

The main body of the text is composed of eight case studies by world-leading environmental governance scholars, each of which addresses a water-related challenge by applying a variety of network approaches. The first part of the book highlights network dispersion and fragmentation, the second focuses on overcoming such fragmentation, and the third deals with specific roles of actors in networks.

This collection is a valuable resource for scholars and practitioners interested in water governance all over the world. It provides readers with an overview of the potential of network analytic concepts for research on complex governance problems. By leveraging network analysis, researchers and practitioners can gain a deeper understanding of the complex relationships and interactions within water governance systems, which can help inform effective policy and management strategies.

In conclusion, the protection of water resources and water-related ecosystems is a pressing global concern, and this book provides valuable insights into the latest applications of network analysis concepts and measures to the study and practice of water governance. It is a must-read for scholars and practitioners interested in this field.
