Abstract
This paper first defines and discusses the central constructs which comprise a framework of institutional analysis used in a recently completed three-year investigation of problems in water resource management. More detailed discussions of these constructs can be found in Gregg et al. (1991). The subsequent section of the paper presents the outlines of an application of this framework in an ongoing examination of water resource management and climate change in the upper Rio Grande basin in the United States.
