HJKYB’s Water Challenges
•Hydrological:
•spatial and temporal variability
•recurring and prolonged droughts
•increasing desertification
•Socio-economic:
•high and rapid growing population
•increasing urbanisation
•increasing poverty
•inefficient agricultural/irrigation practices
•Environmental:
•degraded water courses leading to flooding
•water pollution & infestation of destructive aquatic weeds
•excessive and uncontrolled groundwater exploitation
•poor environmental sanitation and hygiene practices

•Institutional:
•poor & fragmented watershed management (role definition)
•inadequate coordination (horizontally/vertically)
•policy inconsistency
•inadequate stakeholder participation
•insufficient hydro-meteorological information
•Financial:
•irrational pricing policies for raw/treated water
•Lack of transparency and accountability
•inadequate financing for watershed protection
•inadequate financing for data management
•Transboundary Waters:
•Intra states river systems
•downstream of Lake Chad
•growing concern: LCBC, NNJC
•Regional efforts weak

Institutional requirements
1.Stakeholders involved in decision making;
2.Water resources management based on
hydrological boundaries;
3.Organizational structures at basin and sub-
basin levels to enable decision making at the
lowest appropriate level;
4.Government to co-ordinate the national
management of water resources across
water use sectors.
Framework for Appropriate
Institutional Arrangements

River Basin Organization
• The river basin is the logical bio-physical unit for the
management of natural resources;
• A river basin organization (RBO) is the appropriate institution
to translate IWRM concept into action;
• River basin organizations should be managed through
interdisciplinary approaches;
• The entire drainage basin of a river should be taken into
account in developing IWRM plans;
• The RBO should be responsible for coordinating development
and allocation of water resources as well as regulating
utilization according to the developed IWRM plans;
• Relationship between the river basin organization and political
and administrative units should be recognized as RBO cannot
work in isolation.
Institutional Arrangements (Cont’d)

Institutional Arrangements (Cont’d)
• Achievement of effective participation and
cooperation of all organisations and agencies at
all levels and across sectors would be by:
1. anchoring the coordination at the highest
apex level
2. creating coordination bodies at the river basin
level
3. devolving responsibility to the lowest
appropriate level
4. developing human and institutional capacity
