Abstract

Purpose: To present and discuss a collaborative planning methodological proposal for water resources management based on the experience of updating the management instrument utilized by the Basin Committee of the Coyuca lagoon - Mitla lagoon micro-basin (CCCM) in the state of Guerrero.

Methodological design: The methodological proposal stems from the understanding of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) as a collaborative, broad, and flexible strategy. Based on the actor-network theory, it is understood that its construction involves creating "interest" and "involvement" in the various actors and "mobilizing" them to collectively manage water resources. The proposal includes five phases: preparation, pre-diagnosis, diagnosis, planning, and implementation.

Results: This paper reveals the interest process of CCCM governmental and non-governmental actors through different devices managing to enrol them in updating their management instrument.

Research limitations: They are linked to the fact that the methodological proposal emerges from a specific case; however, this proposal can help to guide water resources management in other basins and micro-basins and ultimately, territorial planning.

Findings: The findings include the importance of a pre-diagnosis phase that guides the subsequent planning phases of water resources management as well as the importance of designing simple devices to diagnose and plan allowing for greater and better social and non-expert participation.
