Integrated water resources management
Integrated water resources management (IWRM) is a process that promotes the coordinated development and management of water, land and related resources in order to maximize economic and social welfare without compromising the sustainability of ecosystems and the environment.

 IWRM is internationally acknowledged as the way forward in dealing with issues of water security, and is in strong alignment with initiatives aimed at ‘greening the economy’. However, IWRM will not deliver the expected results unless it is supported by strong political will, a flexible policy framework, strong institutions and an inclusive approach.
