Integrated Water Resources Management in practice

Integrated Water Resources
Management (IWRM) is widely recognized as a prerequisite for achieving equitable and sustainable
development. However, this approach is poorly understood, even within the water sector. Using case
studies, this book published in March 2009 explores how IWRM has contributed, at different scales,
from very local, village-level experiences to reforms at national level and beyond to cases
involving trans-boundary river basins.
Highlighting relevant experiences, from both developed and developing countries in five continents, the book provides candid and practical lessons for policy-makers, donors, and water and development practitioners worldwide, looking at how IWRM principles were applied, what worked, and, equally important, what didn’t work, and why.
