Application of toolsName of the case study Developing new methods for co-operation on groundwater protection: Water co-operation and project "Clean Water".
Name of tool Water co-operation Description of tool - character The actors have a common interest in groundwater protection. Thus water co-operations provides a basis for:
• Coordination of knowledge – bringing together scientific and legal knowledge with knowledge of local context e.g. the interest of the local citizens, how the local farmers act
• Common efforts – e.g to coordinate the tasks of the municipality as authority with the tasks of the of water works – and to draw in Copenhagen Energy in the local collaborations
• Allocation of fiscal funds for groundwater protection - as the water co-operation manages the groundwater fund derived by a fee for each cached m3.
• Further collaboration - in a longer perspective the water co-operation is a basis for further collaboration on management etc.
This is a collaboration tool/procedure.
