In that sense, it could be attractive and probably wise in future situations to reverse the process and create committees only when executive powers in a river basin are clarified and effective. This may require specific legislation and an investment in improving the capacities of relevant institutions first, before formalising such institutions as, according to the specific circumstances, a basin agency linked to the state water agency; or the state water agency itself. Shortly, emphasis should be put on the side of the executive capacity of the system.
