A Handbook for Integrated Water Management in Basins by P01-CSIC-Prof. Rafael Rodriguez-Clemente (COORDINATOR) — last modified 2010-07-29 11:24

Text published jointly by the Global Water Partnership (GWP) and The International Network of Basin Organizations (INBO), 2009 This handbook is written primarily for basin managers and government officials who need to take decisions related to water management. Together, they have to put in place management systems that will mitigate the impacts of natural hazards, supply water for productive purposes (agriculture, industry, energy, transport, tourism, fishing, etc.), supply water for social purposes (health and domestic services) and protect the environment. They must, therefore, manage conflicts on water resource issues between many different users. The handbook is also aimed at non-governmental actors who are involved in basin activities. It provides guidance for integrated water resources management that can be applied in basins regardless of the context (developed or developing countries, humid or arid conditions) or the current state of water governance. In particular, the handbook: 􀂄 articulates the links between challenges and IWRM responses; 􀂄 suggests ways of setting up or modernising basin organisations to facilitate the adoption of the IWRM approach; and 􀂄 is practical and user-friendly with many examples of experiences in river, lake and aquifer management.
