Collaborative Decision-Making for Drought Management: Improving Multi-Actor Approaches
Rob de Loë, University of Waterloo
The key focus of this research was to understand the role of Ontario’s Water Response Teams in decision-making, and to explore how international experiences can inform the drought management process. In partnership with representatives of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, and Conservation Ontario, this project investigated how recommendations from collaborative Water Response Teams are used for government decision-making, and what lessons we can learn about using collaborative approaches for drought management and response from other jurisdictions.
