Author(s) Munazza Sajid

Abstract The prudent management of water resources is essential for human and ecosystem well-being. As a result of ever escalating and competing demands, compounded by pollution and climate change-driven impacts, available freshwater resources are becoming increasingly stressed. This is further compounded by poor management practices and the unsustainable extraction of water. Consequently, many parts of the world, particularly urban areas, are facing water shortages. Therefore, water resources management requires a clear understanding of the ongoing challenges and innovative approaches. This Special Issue provides the platform for the dissemination of knowledge and best practices to strengthen the management of our precious water resources into the future. This research fills a considerable gap in the design of capacity building programs by accounting for the independent variables of capacity and commitment within socio-political context. This devised capacity building framework provides a suite of customized interventions which accord with typical implementations behavior of program partners involved in sustainable forms of water management in Islamabad. The framework illustrate a complete new way to approach institutional capacity, one which is guided by socio-political development of a city and indicative of more reflexive modes of urban water governanace.An important conclusion for policy makers and program articulates is that water programs need to incorporate these variables in their design in order to truly build the capacity of their subjects
