- Why is it that developed countries (e.g. Europe) have continuosly managed to govern their water resources very well while most developing countries are still struggling in water management (even after being exposed to what developed countries are doing in sustainable water governance)?
- How much more could developed countries do to help water governance in developing countries?
- Developing countries have so many policies and strategiesin place but very little is achieved and there is ever increasing problems in the water sector, why?
- Most developed countries have their waters highlysusceptibleto pollution andexperience a lot of flood problems but have still managed to have sustainable water provision to various purposes (agriculture, domestic, navigation, etc.), why?
