28 Think Tanks in BriefEditor%u2019s PicksWater Resilience and Change of Water Use Behavior By: the 24th International Farm Management Association Congress, University of Saskatchewan, CanadaThis paper argues that there is a lack of holistic studies that examine how different contextual and psychological factors interact to affect water use behavior and resilience. It seeks to bridge this gap by integrating contextual and behavioral influences on water utilization.Further, it encourages a rethinking of water systems as complex socio-ecotechnological frameworks with nonlinear dynamics and introduces a conceptual model that connects contextual and behavioral factors to water resilience, outlining potential cause-and-effect relationships based on behavioral theories and psychological frameworks. The model highlights the significance of institutional factors in the interactions between institutions and stakeholders and considers the influences on both individual water users and personnel within water supply organizations. This approach is supported by a thorough review of relevant literature on water use, resilience, conservation behaviors, and psychology.
