Participatory Integrated Water Resources Management – From Concepts to Actions
Integrated water resources management is an issue of very high significance as it involves national and global assets of great socio-cultural, ecological and economic values. The prevailing system of uncoordinated water resources management cannot sustain the ever increasing water needs of the various expanding sectors, therefore, a strategy must be sought to integrate the various sectoral needs against the available water resources in order to attain both economic and ecological sustainability. Participatory approach with the stakeholders needs to be established on several key issues. Capacity building of stakeholders on water natural resources management policies, water rights and enforcement of laws would be an important input for a participatory integrated water resources management where roles and responsibilities have to be ironed out.
