How is information used?
  • Experimental study
  • Role-play of decision making meeting of
    transboundary commission for Lake Ispepi
  • (? Lake Peipsi)
  • Estonian officials
  • Roles Estonian delegation
  • Russian delegation

11
Information presented (1)
  • Driving forces households, agriculture
  • Pressures loads of N and P
  • State eutrofication
  • Impacts algal bloom, fish kills
  • Responses waste water treatment, agricultural
    practices

12
Information presented (2)
  • Economic value of farming, fishing / costs of
    treatment
  • Social number of farmers / fishermen and related
    households

13
Goal Good Status (WFD)Main problem agriculture
  • Estonian delegation
  • Russian delegation

14
Conclusions
  • The information presented must be within the
    mindframe of the decision maker
  • In transboundary water management, the problem
    should reflect the viewpoints of the countries
    involved
  • Information on driving forces and responses in
    combination with socio-economic information is
    most used in decision making.
  • Maps are essential!
