It is increasingly being recognised internationally that integrated catchment management (ICM) is a useful organising framework for tackling the ongoing challenge of balancing sustainable use and development of our natural resource, against achieving environmental goals. The basic principles of ICM (Williams, 2012) are to:
• Take a holistic and integrated approach to the management of land, biodiversity, water and community resources at the water catchment scale;
• Involve communities in planning and managing their landscapes; and
• Find a balance between resource use and resource conservation
ICM is now well established in Australia, New Zealand, and the United States. In Europe the ICM approach has been proposed as being required to achieve effective water and catchment management, and is the approach being promoted by DEFRA for the UK, where it is called the “Catchment Based Approach” (CaBA). The principles and methodologies behind ICM sit well within the context of the Water Framework Directive with its aims and objectives for good water quality, sustainable development and public participation in water resource management. In Ireland it is proposed that the ICM approach will underlie the work and philosophy in developing and implementing future River Basin Management Plans.

Water Sustainability Summit
What will it take?
Lake Oroville, California - Before Summer 2015
“the use of water that supports the ability of human society to endure and flourish into the indefinite future without undermining the integrity of the hydrological cycle or the ecological systems that depend on it.”
Sounds good.
What’s Gleick’s own critique of this?
“By itself, however, it is too general to offer guidance for water managers, planners, and scientists.
To make decisions about how to allocate and use water resources, other goals and criteria need to be identified.”
We Start with Peter Gleick’s Take on Water Sustainability
Gleick, P (1998). Water in Crisis: Paths to Sustainability. Ecological Applications, 8(3): 571-579

How prioritize these recommendations?
Is this the best way to frame it?
How do his recommendations compare to those found in the other readings?

Eight Movement Building Principles
Water Integrity
Treat water with reverence and respect
Water Commons
Water must be available to all people and nature
Resist commodification of water
Water Sovereignty
Local communities must be able to control their watersheds
Water Equity
Justice and equity favor public water supply systems
Water Conservation
Use only what we need
Water Quality
Protect ecosystems and human health
Water Security
Prevent water conflicts
Water Democracy
The people become the guardians of water via grassroots, bottom-up activities

The Global Dimension of Water Governance: Why the ...
Role of youth in Sustainable Water Management presented in panel discussion I...Subhash Jain
This presentation elaborates the need to work in water sector for addressing the health challenges in water quality affected area. This also provides technological option and operational model which have potential to scale.
2. Goal and objectives of the session
To introduce the importance of water
To give an indication of the water crisis
To present the challenge in resolving the
crisis
To define IWRM
To introduce the importance of a water
management framework
3. Outline presentation
Overview of the importance of water
Water crisis: Facts
Challenges in addressing crisis
What is IWRM
Water management framework and core
elements
Benefits of the framework
4. Introduction
The Importance of Water
Water is essential to human survival (20-40 litres
per person daily)
Effective primary health care
Fight poverty, hunger, child mortality, gender
inequality and environmental damage.
Millennium Development Goals
5. Facts on Water Crisis
More than 2 billion people suffer from water
shortages in over 40 countries;
1.1 billion people do not have access to safe
drinking water;
4 out of 10 people in the world do not have
access to improved sanitation (very basic
facilities);
2 million tonnes per day of human waste is
discharged into water courses;
Every year 1.6 million children below 5 years old
die because of unsafe water and lack of basic
sanitation.
6. Reasons for Water Crisis
Water resources under pressure from population
growth, economic activity, growing competition
from many water users;
Withdrawals increased more than twice the rate of
population growth;
Development and pollution are exacerbating water
scarcity;
Uncoordinated development and management of
water resources;
Climate change will impact on water resources.
7. Challenges
Improving access to water (all users) and
sanitation
What is needed?
Government making this a priority;
Appropriate long-term financing;
Resolving competition among users and
environmental challenges;
Advocacy on-behalf of poor;
Improved capacity of governments to
deliver services to all users;
Government accountability in meeting
the needs of all users.
8. What is IWRM?
A systematic process for sustainable
development, allocation and monitoring of
water resource use in the context of social,
economic and environmental goals and
objectives.
9. IWRM is a paradigm shift.
Departs from traditional approaches in three ways:
Cross-cutting and departs from traditional sectoral
approach.
Spatial focus is the river basin;
Departure from narrow professional and political boundaries
and perspectives and broadened to incorporate participatory
decision-making of all stakeholders (Inclusion versus
exclusion).
10. Interdependency
The basis of IWRM is that there are a variety of
uses of water resources which are interdependent.
The need
to consider
the
different
uses of
water
together
12. The Water Balancing Act
Demand
• Increasing in all sectors
• Inefficient use
Supply
• Quantity (Natural Scarcity,
Groundwater Depletion)
• Quality Degradation
• Cost of Options

15. Water Management Framework
At the core of the water management
framework is:
Treatment of water as an economic and
social good;
Decentralised management and delivery
structures;
Greater reliance on economic instruments;
Broader participation of stakeholders.
16. What will a Water Management Framework do?
1) Provide framework for analysing policies and
options that will guide decisions in relation to:
Water scarcity;
Service efficiency;
Water allocation; and
Environmental protection.
2) Facilitate consideration of relationships between
the ecosystem and socio-economic activities in
river basins.
17. Think about it
Could you give examples from your own country
where interdependency of water uses exists?
18. End
The next presentation deals with the
principles of water management
