| Abstract: | This article presents an approach where water managers developed criteria of relevance to understand and address uncertainties. Based on the empirical research took place in the Doñana region of the Guadalquivir estuary in southern Spain making use of the method of card sorting and through the card sorting exercise a broad range of criteria to make sense of and describe uncertainties was produced by different subgroups, which were then merged into a shared list of criteria. That way framing differences were made explicit and communication on uncertainty and on framing differences was enhanced. It is argued the present approach constitutes a first step to enabling reframing and overcoming framing differences, which are important features on the way to robust decision-making. Moreover, the elaborated criteria build a basis for the development of more structured approaches to deal with uncertainties in water management practice. |
