River champions are people working for better water and river management in a range of capacities, and who are particularly influential and effective in driving progress. The championship concept is not new, but tends to emphasize the bold and highly visible leader. This archetypal champion is at odds with the more humble and quieter forms of leadership that we frequently encounter in our work and communities. These less‐visible champions are in danger of being overlooked. A more inclusive characterization of championship can enrich existing conceptualizations. We argue that many river champions lead quietly and are effective because they build and use social capital to influence others. They are well‐connected and can help to bridge scales of management. We advocate that championship must be recognized and supported within and beyond institutions. This can be enacted by rewarding people for their time in ways that are meaningful and appropriate (i.e., not only financially) and by prioritizing connection between people. We offer specific examples of how this can be done in a river management setting. By recognizing and supporting river champions in all their forms, we can maximize their value as a critical component of participatory water and river management systems.

支持河流管理的冠军

河流冠军是在各种能力上致力于改善水和河流管理的人们,他们在推动进步方面具有特别的影响力和效力。冠军的概念并不是什么新鲜事物,而是倾向于强调大胆而引人注目的领导者。这个原型冠军与我们在工作和社区中经常遇到的更为谦逊,更安静的领导方式格格不入。这些鲜为人知的冠军有被忽视的危险。冠军赛更具包容性的特征可以丰富现有的概念。我们认为,许多江河冠军悄无声息地领导并有效,因为他们建立并利用社会资本来影响他人。它们之间的联系紧密,可以帮助架起管理规模。我们主张,锦标赛必须在机构内外得到认可和支持。这可以通过以有意义和适当的方式(即,不仅在财务上)奖励人们的时间并优先考虑人们之间的联系来实现。我们提供了具体示例,说明如何在河流管理环境中完成此任务。通过认可和支持各种形式的河流冠军,我们可以最大程度地发挥其作为参与性水和河流管理系统的重要组成部分的价值。
