This is the very first issue of this journal. The aim of this journal is to become a source of knowledge on governance of complex water systems, and a source of inspiration for professionals in the water domain to improve the governance capacity. The journal intends to focus on actual and urgent theoretical issues and bring them further by application and elaboration in the domains of water. From a variety of disciplines, it will gather new insights on what constitutes the governance capacity with regard to specific topics, such as water quality, flooding and scarcity.
