between countries (Gagnon-Lebrun and Agarwala 2006; Gagnon-Lebrun and Agarwala 2007;

In general, explorations of specific adaptation policies has mainly focused on the national
scale

and public participation processes, but it does not intend to
fully cover these broader aspects.
2. Modelling as part of the planning and
management process
A modelling study will involve several phases and several
actors. A typical modelling study will involve the following
four different types of actors:
The water manager, i.e. the person or organisation responsi-
ble for the management
