Integrated Water Resource Management
As defined by the Global Water Partnership, integrated water resource management is a process which promotes the coordinated development and management of water, land, and related resources in order to maximize the resultant economic and social welfare in an equitable manner without compromising the sustainability of vital ecosystems. Resources available within this theme provide guidance on how to conserve and restore watersheds, reduce pollution, adapt to climate change and reduce risks from floods and droughts.

Published:
January 1, 2001U.S. Agency for International Development
Implementing real water saving measures in irrigated agriculture is only possible if all the components of the current water balance are clearly understood. Although measurement of all these components is infeasible on a spatial and temporal scale, hydrological simulation models can fill the gap...Read more
