Governance Concepts, Frameworks and Lake Governance’s Conceptualisation

This academic paper embraces a politically theoretical discourse to examine the research gap from Governance concepts to the water and lake frameworks. It explains and understands the idea of Lake Governance and its central constituents: the collective people, development, conservation, and the Government. Governance’s concept is entrenched, and the water and lake frameworks are complicated, making the lake’s conceptualisation challenging to grasp and comprehend fully. This article asserts that: (i) Lake Governance is more suitable as this concept is simplicity, parsimony, and essential to understand and utilise. (ii) Lake Governance’s conceptualisation should be centered on contributing the scholarly literature and more so recognised and established in the lakes’ discourse. (iii) Government is crucial, the utmost consequential in Lake Governance, where this central position interlocks the collective people in development and the lake in conservation.
