|Pub Abstract=lntegrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) and Water Governance: there are hardly any other
topics that have drawn so much attention of water professionals in recent years. The reasons are
obvious. Water is becoming a scarce resource in many countries and awareness is rising that this has
serious consequences in many respects. The challenge of Water Governance is to reconcile the often
conflicting water related demands made by different sectors and provide "the means by which order is
accomplished in the relations between the various Stakeholders in order to avoid potential conflicts
and realize mutual gains" (Williamson). This calls for the ability to quickly analyse a multi-sectoral
water system with respect to its "incentive compatibility". ln other words, water managers need to gain
a quick overview whether or not the governance of a water system applies rewards or sanctions ("the
incentives") in a way that is compatible with the intended overall goals and. objectives.

 a quick overview whether or not the governance of a water system applies rewards or sanctions ("the incentives") in a way that is compatible with the intended overall goals and objectives. An approach that allows a rapid appraisal of this "incentive compatibility" is presented in this paper. Its application is demonstrated with a practical IWRM case example.
