new solutions to urban water management are discussed more widely today. Sanitation services are provided mostly by public organizations

and tested in a transdisciplinary research project that empirically focused on The swiss urban water management sector. Following the model of action research 56,

However, we have strong indications that certain lessons learned within the RIF processes have a much wider application domain than urban water management.

and explore innovations for Dutch water management. While the process model was adopted to integrate multiple parties as well,

the foresight activities were used to develop strategic guidance for the future in water management, to identify new business opportunities

and assess and reposition the activities in place for water management. Thus, the strategist role as defined by Rohrbeck

and consolidate knowledge and opinions related to water management. The former are those activities that are conducted predominantly between the contract partners RWS and Deltares, the latter within the larger, loosely coupled network of experts.

and to initiate new solutions for water management enhanced through external support and knowledge. In the sense of this article the WINN activities can be characterized as foresight supported by a loosely linked network.
