| Short description: |
The roots of sustainability as a focus of concern lie in the emergence of a set of
environmental challenges to our continued survival on the planet. Within the
context of water policy, these challenges are exacerbated by the need to
ensure reliable, safe, adequate water supplies to support the livelihoods of our
communities. Many contemporary conceptual frameworks for investigating
sustainable water management are informed by analogies taken from the
biological and physical sciences. Taking co-evolutionary theory as a focus we
describe its contribution to conceptual models of sustainable water
management and discuss its strengths and weaknesses from both a
descriptive and prescriptive standpoint.
