Integrated Water Resources Management

Integrated Water Resources Management is an internationally acknowledged approach that seeks to avoid the lives lost, the money wasted, and the natural capital depleted because of decision-making that did not take into account the larger ramifications of sectoral actions. IWRM is a flexible tool for addressing water challenges and optimizing water's contribution to sustainable development.

IWRM Objective 1

All national governments report on the status of the IWRM and Water Efficiency Plans and the concrete actions taken for their implementation.

IWRM Objective 2

  • Apply IWRM principles in transboundary situations and strengthen transboundary organizations.
