<p>This book has three primary objectives.&nbsp; The first objective is to provide scholars with a more realistic view of adaptive management, without arguing against adaptive management.&nbsp; Adaptive management is necessary as well as desirable, but it is not easy, and demonstrating that through the Chino Basin experience is an important goal.&nbsp; The second objective is to provide practitioners with encouraging yet cautionary lessons about the challenges and benefits of an adaptive approach – in similar fashion as the first objective, the goal here is to endorse the adaptive approach but in a clear-eyed manner that clarifies how hard it is and how much it requires.&nbsp; A third objective is to show all audiences that resource governance systems can fail, change, and succeed.&nbsp; There is no such thing as an ideal institutional design that is guaranteed to work; rather, making institutional arrangements work entails learning and adjustment when they begin to show problems as they inevitably will.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><br><p></p>
