Integrating landscape and water resources planning with focus on sustainability

摘要: The global freshwater crisis demands new forms of action if further environmental and social impacts are to be avoided. Traditional sectoral technologically based approaches have proven ineffective in addressing this crisis, since they disregard the multiple complex roles water landscape, subsequently need for cooperation across many sectors involved water-resources planning management, including institutions citizens. As an invisible resource, groundwater has been particularly affected by traditional approach. Moving towards sustainability integration at levels (e.g. land, water, social-natural, surface-underground), which turn calls transdisciplinarity between academic disciplines (including sciences humanities), practitioners stakeholders. In paper we argue that land management paradigms converging direction. However there is room (and interest) convergence under a landscape-ecology-based order proceed with several barriers must overcome: lack common approach language, tradition disciplinary hard change, higher transdisciplinary (in terms complexity, resources time) when compared approaches, etc. We applying landscape ecology sustainable landscape-planning framework can contribute solve inherent shortcomings current paradigm, related subjects (such as use) transdisciplinarity. This outlines course research will operational method integrated (ground)water-resource
