The transition toward participatory management of dam water resources cannot be achieved merely through the establishment of formal or symbolic participatory mechanisms; rather, it requires a transformation in institutional arrangements, a redefinition of the role of the state, and the strengthening of local institutional capacities within the water governance process. Adopting an institutional analysis approach and drawing on the theoretical frameworks of water governance and institutional theory, this study examines the institutional and social prerequisites of such a transition in the rural areas of Sanandaj County through a secondary analysis of qualitative data. The data were derived from previous studies, policy documents, and existing qualitative findings and were re-examined using an interpretive–analytical approach. The findings indicate that despite the structural weakening of local institutions in recent decades, informal rules, social networks, and local trust-based mechanisms continue to possess latent capacities for regulating relationships among water users. Recognizing these capacities and integrating them into formal governance frameworks can contribute to enhancing the legitimacy, effectiveness, and sustainability of dam water resource management. Overall, the findings underscore the necessity of adopting an institutional and social perspective on dam operation as a prerequisite for sustainable water development in rural areas. In sum, this research shows that achieving participatory operation management of dam water resources in rural areas necessitates a comprehensive institutional reconfiguration of water governance. Without this reconfiguration, even the most advanced participatory mechanisms will fail to produce sustainable outcomes. The analytical framework presented in this study can serve as a basis for rethinking dam operation policies and for advancing future research on participatory water governance in Iran.
