The document discusses the results of a survey on water governance practices. 164 respondents from academia, civil society and governments provided feedback. Respondents indicated a need for learning from both successes and failures of water governance practices. They prefer practices that showcase progress over time and are of high quality. The document also discusses developing an online database of water governance practices that would be user-friendly, provide vetted and peer-reviewed content, support advanced search and commenting functions, and possibly be multilingual and have an open programming interface. A pilot test of a practice template is shown.
