Surface

water:
There
are
restrictions
concerning
the
distribution
of
water,
but
they
are
in
many
cases
out-‐dated
as
they
do
not
accommodate
for
the
presence
of
permanent
structures
(check
dams)
and
the
impact
of
these
structures
on
groundwater
recharge
and
hence
the
availability
of
drinking
water.
•
Groundwater:
Historically,
for
groundwater
rules
are
not
specified,
though
in
several
cases
a
distance
rule
is
used,
which
in
the
water
law
is
specified
as
a
distance
of
at
least
500m
between
wells.
In
some
cases
some
new
informal
rules
have
been
developed,
for
example
regarding
the
purpose
for
which
the
water
may
be
applied,
who
is
allowed
to
use
it,
and

Subsurface
flow:
Subsurface
flow
is
the
water
in-‐between
the
surface
water
and
the
groundwater.
Any
physical
interference,
for
example
through
the
construction
of
impermeable
structures
in
ephemeral
streams,
may
have
large
impacts
on
the
available
surface
and
groundwater
downstream.
Nevertheless,
this
source
is
often
overlooked
and
consequently,
no
formal
water
rights
or
allocation
rules
have
been
formulated
for
subsurface
flow.
Pluriformity
of
conflict
resolution
mechanisms
With
regard
to
conflict
resolution
mechanisms,
a
main
observation
is
that
there
are
multiple
mechanisms
(traditional
and
formal),
however
they
are
individually
and
collectively
too
weak
to
address
the
risk
and
