A handbook for integrated water resources management in basins
This handbook provides guidance for improving the governance of freshwater resources, in particular through effective implementation of the integrated water resources management (IWRM) approach in lake, river and aquifer basins. It 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 a practical and userfriendly guide with many examples of experiences in river, lake and aquifer management.
