The Value Base of Water Governance in the Upper Paraguay River Basin, Mato Grosso, Brazil Hydro Nation Forum Meeting Heriot-Watt University Edinburgh, 28 June 2017 Christopher Schulz

Key dates October 2013 Start of PhD project Sept. – Dec. 2014 Qualitative fieldwork with water stakeholders Jan. – June 2016 Quantitative fieldwork with members of the general public June 2017 PhD thesis submission

Research question(s) In theory: how are water values and water governance preferences linked? In practice: can we find connections between people’s values and their preferences for or against the construction of a waterway in the Brazilian Pantanal wetland?

THEORY Values and water governance

Theoretical background What values, what governance? Source: Schulz, C., Martin-Ortega, J., Glenk, K., & Ioris, A.A.R. (2017): The Value Base of Water Governance: A Multi-Disciplinary Perspective, in: Ecological Economics, vol. 131: 241-249

Fundamental values / values as guiding principles Source: Schwartz, S. (1996): Value Priorities and Behavior: Applying a Theory of Integrated Value Systems, in: Seligman, C., Olson, J.M., & Zanna, M.P. (eds.): The Psychology of Values: The Ontario Symposium, Volume 8, Mahwah, NJ: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, 1-24

Governance-related values & assigned values Features of “good governance”, e.g. sustainability, efficiency, transparency, social justice etc. Assigned values / water values: Values attached to water, such as for irrigation, domestic use, hydropower, habitat, cultural values etc. [~water ecosystem services]

CASE STUDY The Paraguay-Paraná Waterway, Mato Grosso, Brazil

The Paraguay- Paraná Waterway, Mato Grosso, Brazil 3442 km from Cáceres to Nueva Palmira, Uruguay Controversy around segment in the Pantanal wetland Major engineering works required with associated environmental impacts Main purpose: lowering freight costs of exporting agricultural products (soybeans) to China Source: Schulz, C., Martin-Ortega, J., Ioris, A.A.R., & Glenk, K. (2017): Applying a ‘Value Landscapes Approach’ to Conflicts in Water Governance: The Case of the Paraguay-Paraná Waterway, in: Ecological Economics, vol. 138: 47-55

Method: structural equation modelling (SEM), using survey data Purpose: 1) to measure links between different values 2) and between values and water governance 3) and to test hypotheses on relationships statistically Data: respondents from household survey in the Upper Paraguay River Basin, Mato Grosso, Brazil

Sampled municipalities in the Upper Paraguay River Basin

Example: measuring governance-related values Sustainability Social justice

Results: two ‘value landscapes’

Results: two ‘value landscapes’

Results: the link with water governance preferences

Results: the link with water governance preferences

Conclusions Fundamental values, governance-related values, and assigned (water) values are clearly related (in ‘value landscapes’) We can interpret conflicts in water governance as conflicts of values We can localise the source and assess the severity of a conflict by studying people’s values
