Wasser Agenda 21: is a recent collaboration
of the most important water management
actors in Switzerland, who have come
together to establish a platform for
dialogue and a think tank for the
generation of optional solutions to arising
issues. It aims to support and enhance
current collaboration and coordination
across sectors, orientate the industry
towards sustainable development
principles, pre-emptively identify issues
and develop an integrated approach to the
management of water resources and water
waterways. However, interview data has
shown that WA21's remit may not be so
welcome in the more independent
cantons, where any intrusion from
national or federal actors tends to be
unwelcome
Further movement towards a more integrated
and cross-sector watershed based approach
in policy and law
Implementation gap

Continued economic (export
oriented) and hydropower
development
The manipulation or ignoring of 'neutral'
laws and policies has been effected by the
