Water and development Water and development

water management broader development water management to support sustainable

g pp human development

Water uses and users are interdependent Water uses and users are interdependent Need to engage and involve users and

  • thers affected by resource

Need to move beyond formal, hierarchical

structures of management

Pressures and challenges Pressures and challenges

P Pressures

– Economic growth Water stress – Water stress – Pollution Sectoral approach in water governance – Sectoral approach in water governance

Challenges

Securing water for people food production – Securing water for people, food, production and ecology Water variability in time and space – Water variability in time and space – Managing risks

Water Management Principles Water Management Principles

Many water sector reforms are based on the Dublin principles (1992):

  • 1. Fresh water

2 Water development 3 W l 4 W t h is a finite and vulnerable resource,

  • 2. Water development

and management should be based on a participatory

  • 3. Women play

a central part in the provision

  • 4. Water has an

economic value in all its competing uses essential to sustain life, development participatory approach, involving users, planners and provision, management and safeguarding of competing uses and should be recognised as an economic good and the environment. p policymakers at all levels safeguarding of water economic good

IWRM definition IWRM definition

“a process which promotes the coordinated

development and management of water, p g land and related resources in order to maximize the resultant economic and to maximize the resultant economic and social welfare in an equitable manner without compromising the sustainability of vital ecosystems” Global Water Partnership (2000)

IWRM is a shift in thinking IWRM is a shift in thinking

IWRM differs from traditional approaches in three ways: y

Involves cross-cutting and tries to overcome

limitations of traditional sectoral approach limitations of traditional sectoral approach

Spatial focus is the river basin Involves participatory decision making with Involves participatory decision-making with

engagement of all stakeholders (Inclusion versus exclusion)

‘Cl i l’ WRM

‘Classical’ WRM:

– Supply oriented, sector focused, engineering-based Top down ‘water master planning’ – Top down water master planning – Focus on water availability and development

‘Integrated’ WRM: Integrated WRM:

– Demand-oriented, multi-sectoral approach – Addresses interaction between sub-sectors Addresses interaction between sub sectors – Considers institutional requirements – Addresses capacity building beyond water sector p y g y

3 E’s of ‘Integrated WRM :

– Environmental sustainability – Equity, social – Economic efficiency – Economic efficiency

3 additional aspects of integrated WRM :

– Enabling environment (policies, legislation) – Equity, social (right access) – Economic efficiency

Good practices from IWRM Good practices from IWRM case studies

Sound investments in water infrastructure Strong enabling environment: goals, legislative

framework, finance

Comprehensive institutional roles:

institutions HR stakeholder participation institutions, HR, stakeholder participation

Effective use of available management

d t h i l i t t and technical instruments

General similarities between IWRM case studies

Conclusion Conclusion

There is no uniform blueprint to WRM:

IWRM is an approach IWRM is an approach.

This IWRM approach can only work if it is

not focused exclusively on water!
