In most places today, river flows are the result of rainfall and runoff, as well as the presence of the water development projects of these agencies. Meanwhile in the nation’s watersheds, demands on water resources are changing along with changes in rainfall and runoff volume and patterns, suggesting the possible need for new investments and different management of the investments currently in place. However, by historical standards, there has been a radical reduction in the Federal roles and budgetary commitment to river management. This diminished Federal role has resulted from competing water management visions that I will refer to as “old water conservation,” “new water conservation,” and “watershed restoration.” Old water conservation is where I begin.</p><p>Throughout the nation’s first 200 years, engineering works (i.e., infrastructure) were supposed to remove the tails from the hydrograph – that is remove natural variation in river flows – promoting material prosperity and general social well-being.

In the upper reaches of the smaller watersheds, cover crops and reforestation on eroded soils slow runoff and control erosion. Downstream, small dams are combined with diversion channels and other conveyance facilities to move water to irrigated farm fields and small communities. Previously wet areas are drained by small ditches leading to larger canals, with the drained land dedicated to cities and farms. On the larger rivers, dams create reservoirs to store water, while levees along the river edges and deepened river channels limit flooding of fertile soils. Cities are located adjacent to flood-protected rivers, and their manufacturing and other commercial facilities along the river edge are served by ports and barge terminals. The water stored in reservoirs irrigates agricultural fields, generates electric power, and provides for other water uses in dry times.</p><p>This grand vision of the ideally managed river basin was to be executed by Federal construction of levees, channels, dams, and reservoirs paid for by the Federal taxpayer. The Federal efforts were accompanied by state and local governments building water supply reservoirs, pipes, and open canals and transferring that stored water over long distances.

These extraordinarily complex water quality and quantity challenges facing water resource management are “wicked problems” (Gold et al. <span>2013</span>). Wicked problems - those that are difficult to resolve because of complexity, uncertainty, and divergence and fragmentation in viewpoints, values, and intentions (Rittel and Webber <span>1973</span>; Head <span>2008</span>) - arise in numerous resource management contexts. The act of simply trying to define the problem illustrates the level of difficulty associated with resolution. For example, multiple perspectives on an issue, the level to which numerous social and natural systems are connected, and the overwhelming number of potential fixes that need to be understood to clearly define the issue make water management a wicked problem.</p><p>Historically, water problems have been regarded as requiring engineering or technological fixes. However, because most water problems are largely the result of human activity (Schultz <span>2011</span>; Rockström et al. <span>2014</span>), it is the social - not technical - complexity of these problems that overwhelms water management. Social factors (e.g., equity, water rights, norms, attitudes, values, beliefs, etc.) are often the primary determinants of management success or failure (Mascia et al. <span>2003</span>; Floress et al. <span>2015</span>). Thus, the resolution or mitigation of wicked water problems requires interdisciplinary collaboration, particularly from the social sciences, to foster new thinking, behavior, and innovative ideas for management of water resources under conditions of rapid change and uncertainty (Jury and Vaux <span>2005</span>).</p><p>Despite the social complexity of water challenges, most people working in water resource management are trained in the bio-physical sciences, in turn limiting access to knowledge that could be gained from social sciences (Floress et al. <span>2015</span>). Water resource professionals and the staffs of myriad water-related agencies tend to have backgrounds in engineering, hydrology, ecology, aquatic sciences, and so on. Thus, agencies and organizations may not have the necessary skills to effectively address the human dimensions of water resource management (Sexton et al. <span>2013</span>). Many lack the capacity to deal with the social complexity and interdependencies of current water resource management. “The management of water resources is currently undergoing a paradigm shift toward a more integrated and participatory management style” (Pahl-Wostl et al. <span>2007</span>, p. 1) in order to address “complex interdependencies, human behavior and social institutions” (Pahl-Wostl et al. <span>2012</span>, p. 25).

This paper describes relationships between community groups’ leadership style and other factors while also highlighting an intricate mixed method design that ultimately led to a deep, rich understanding of these relationships. There were five research objectives: (1) Characterize the community groups’ leadership culture; (2) Assess each group’s cohesiveness; (3) Assess the groups’ community project involvement; (4) Determine if relationships exist between the variables; and (5) Highlight the role of mixed methods in the emergence of findings. The study has implications for carrying forward the concept of eco-leadership in research and practice.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":45920,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Contemporary Water Research & Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2019-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/j.1936-704X.2019.03310.x","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45741082","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
