There is a so-called “Paradigm Lock” between outdated but often accepted practices adopted in water resource management for the benefit of stakeholders and the application of more recent scientific findings and approaches.  Scientific research has tended to be isolated by lack of proven utility, whilst water policy and management is often isolated by legal and professional precedence. 

The HELP initiative is creating a new approach to integrated water resource management through the creation of frameworks for water law and policy experts,  water resource managers and water scientists to work together on water-related problems.  HELP is a “user-driven” initiative requiring active involvement of both policy and facilitating (water and land resource managers) groups to set the policy agenda and ensure the scientific results will benefit societal needs through a re-look at  policy and management practices.
