Integrated Water Resource Management
Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) is a process that promotes coordinated management of water, land, and related resources to maximize economic and social welfare in an equitable and sustainable manner. IWRM principles adopted in Dublin in 1992 include: fresh water is finite; participation of users, planners, and policymakers; central role of women; and water has economic value. IWRM has three pillars: enabling policies and strategies; institutional framework; and management instruments for institutions.
