Abstract
Information Systems (ISs) have become widely available for water management in river basins. They have an added value by bringing water related information to authorities in river basins that can support them in their decision making. Due to climate change and the increasing world population the need for adequate information for river basin management is increasing. Advances in ICT have opened up more possibilities for information use in the water sector. Therefore ISs are currently of important interest to science and society. However, many organisations still struggle with the uptake of these systems. The problem is that current ISs are often focused too much on the technical possibilities and neglect the institutional context that also determines their acceptance. The aim of this research is to identify enabling institutional aspects in the uptake of ISs in river basin management thus contributing to better decision-making in the world’s river basins.
