| Summary: | Multiple watershed management approaches exist around the world and they are based on various theoretical principles, which most of the time depends on the context of implementation. While many countries had adopted national policies enforcing watershed management, theoretical principles tend to be adjusted to meet local specificities. So, an effective theory of watershed management appears at the intersection of public concerns and local social dynamics.Using environmental pragmatism and social strategic analysis, and after the realization of six case studies, we present how the Quebec’s model of watershed management has been affected on a theory point of view by social adjustment processes. This look allow to explain that theoretical marks evolve in some directions, sometimes reinforced or avoided by local actors, or how they become the base for innovation to be consistent with local situations. |
