Will cheslides be shared after the event?

34:26
They will be on our website if the presenters allow us to share them.

01:28:07
We'll have time for a couple of questions after Prof. Karvonen's talk...get your q's ready now!

01:29:11
Are there good models for regulation by watershed?

01:29:39
Andy: How is infrastructure percieved by the regional partnerships?

01:30:12
Leila: How is the regional scale pertinent to infrastructure inequities?

01:31:01
While the focus is on watersheds, are you studying other capital intensive infrastructure management programs for different approaches to regional management? Transportation, energy, etc.

01:31:50
From Wendy Kellogg, Cleveland State: I have done research on the Chagrin River in NE Ohio and can comment on this question

01:39:19
Andy: have you taken into consideration regional-national dynamics in terms of political intention in terms of public sector reform? ie the relationship between regionalisation and restructuring? GMCA is actually at the forefront of implementing network governance, which is being linked to reduction in local authority budgets, particularly in terms of green infrastructure. we can talk about this another time!

01:42:44
Best to everyone. I am double booked.

01:47:39
it is not directly related to Andrew’s question, but there are also interesting examples of ways that different local/regional governance mechanisms have been funded through local municipal levies and such. There is also the broader debate of relevance in terms of how we think about and articulate the importance of different infrastructural investments. Of course, for water and sanitation, there are multiplier effects that need to be considered about the importance of these investments. Public health (as COVID makes clear) and other consequences for communities (e.g. attendance at school, etc). So i think there are also interesting questions about how we think about these infrastructural priorities, how we make the case for these investments, and as you said, what specific financial instruments might be available to make them possible.

Thanks Andy - very interesting work. I'll follow up.

Green Infrastructure is also mainstreamed within the Nature Based Solutions

Andrew, looking at this from a long way away, the watershed is just one of many scales at which to work. Where I work (in Southern Africa) our primary systems involve linking parts of watersheds (that includes Cape Town by the way, two completely distinct primary watersheds). It's an evolutionary process in which the watershed may have a role, for a while, in certain contexts.

02:00:42
and the new UN decade is stressing on these concepts- https://www.decadeonrestoration.org/

02:01:09
to states and activities /interventions in scale

02:02:16
the work by Alice Cohen on watershed scale governance that i mentioned that might be of interest to think critically about the way these scales are forged , e.g. Cohen, A. and S. Davidson "The watershed approach: challenges, antecedents, and the transition from technical tool to governance unit." Water Alternatives.

thank you all for a great session, due to childcare responsibilities I have to leave, see you tomorrow!
