State governments and institutions develop policies through laws, regulations, procedures, administrative actions, incentives, information campaigns, and voluntary practices. However, the outcome of a policy depends on how it is specified, negotiated, interpreted, implemented, and enforced by different sectors, regions and actors. The OPTAIN project (https://www.optain.eu/) proposes a social and scientific journey towards increasing and understanding the multiple benefits of Natural/Small Water Retention Measures (NSWRMs).
