Institutional Structures and Management
According to the International Water Management Institute, institutions evolve depending on the nature of water resource issues that a river basin faces and, in that sense, are not static systems but adaptive and dynamic systems. IWRM’s potential contribution to increasing water productivity lies in its ability to approach natural resource management problems in an integrated fashion. Resources available in this sub-theme include models and evaluations of water management systems, examples of institutional frameworks and others that support managing integrated water resources.

Published:
January 1, 1984U.S. Agency for International Development, Colorado State University
A theory to evaluate improvement alternatives for an irrigation system by way of simulation and optimization is presented. A mathematical simulation model combining existing models of conveyance, application, and water use subsystems was developed and verified using available field data from...Read more

Published:
August 1, 1983U.S. Agency for International Development, Colorado State University
The most profitable use of resources on a typical Egyptian farm is analyzed in view of resource, institutional, and government policies constraints. The linear programming model of a farm management decision problem, based on an average sized farm found in a survey of 50 farms in Kafr El Sheikh,...Read more
