The document discusses integrated water resources management (IWRM) and integrated river basin management (IRBM) approaches. It emphasizes that water resources should be managed holistically by considering the interactions between water, land, ecosystems, and human activities across an entire river basin. The document also outlines several key principles of IWRM and IRBM, such as stakeholder participation, treating water as an economic good, and ensuring intergenerational equity when allocating water resources.

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

SWaRMA_IRBM_Module1_#1, Principles of IWRM and IRBM: Challenges for the Himalayan river basins, Ramesh Vaidya et al
1. Strengthening Water Resources Management in Afghanistan (SWaRMA)
Module 1: Principles and Approaches
By Ramesh Ananda Vaidya, Santosh Nepal and Neera Shrestha Pradhan
2. IWRM is a process which promotes the coordinated development and
management of water, land and related resources, in order to maximize the
resultant economic and social welfare in an equitable manner without
compromising the sustainability of vital ecosystems (GWP, 2000).
IRBM adapts principles of IWRM to a river basin or a lake basin context of
different scales. A basin level perspective enables the integration of
upstream and downstream issues, quantity and quality, surface water and
ground water, and land use and water resources in a practical manner
(UNESCO, n.d.)
3. • Fresh water is a finite and vulnerable resource .. .. ..
• Water development and management should be based on a participatory
approach .. .. ..
• Women play a central part .. .. ..
• Water has an economic value in all its competing uses .. economic good.
• Scarcity: “Failure to take the higher scarcity value of water into account in the
present will lead to an extra cost to society due to the extra scarcity imposed
on the future (Tietenberg, 1992:34).
• Participation: “is a process through which stakeholders can influence
and share control over development initiatives and the resources
used to fund them through engagement in decision making.” (Rogers,
Jalal and Boyd, 2008)

7. • To ensure the sustainability of water, we must view it holistically,
balancing competing demands on it – domestic, agricultural, industrial
(including energy) and environmental.
• Sustainable management of water resources requires systematic,
integrated decision-making that recognizes the interdependence of three
areas:
• decisions on land use affect water and on water affect environment and
land us;
• decisions on our economic and social future, currently sectoral and
fragmented, affect hydrology and the ecosystems we live on;
• decisions at international, national, and local levels are interrelated.
8. • The overriding goal in water vision is sustainable human development ..
.. .. to be achieved through water-based regional cooperation .. ..
• .. .. the approach is holistic and multi-disciplinary and it calls for the
congruence of macro, meso and micro policies within each country and
their coordination across regional countries.
• Holistic approach: A holistic approach to management recognizing all the
characteristics of the hydrological cycle and its interaction with other
natural resources and ecosystems (GWP, 2002).
9. • .. .. .. Water must be used with maximum possible economic efficiency.
• The basic right of all people to have access to water .. .. .. must be
universally recognized.
• The present use of the resource should be managed .. .. .. not
compromising the use of the resource by future generations.
10. • Economic efficiency: Efficiency suggests “maximizing the present value of
net benefits to society.” (Tietenberg, 1992: 37)
• Sustainable development: development that “meets the needs of the
present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their
own needs.” (World Commission on Environment and Development, 1987)
• Scarcity: “Failure to take the higher scarcity value of water into account in
the present will lead to an inefficiency or an extra cost to society due to the
extra scarcity imposed on the future.” (Tietenberg, 1992: 34)
• Fair allocation: “If an allocation is both equitable and .. efficient, we will say
that it is a fair allocation.” (Varian, 1987: 538)

24. • Vision: Country’s largest river basin in the Eastern Himalayan landscape
of the world’s highest ecosystem with tremendous water resources is
safeguarded and ecosystem’s integrity is maintained while livelihoods
are improved and people’s rights over water and related resources are
ensured as well.
• Goal: The goal of KRBM is to improve the living conditions of the people
significantly in a sustainable manner in the KRB.
25. Outputs:
• diversification of water uses
• system improvements
• revenue generation
• sustainable operation and financing mechanism
27. Outputs:
• management of water-induced disasters
• water source protection
• water allocation to different systems
• management of freshwater ecosystem
• promotion of environment friendly measures
• improvements in the traditional water management
28. Outputs:
• hydrological and meteorological observation networks strengthened and

• capacity enhancement of Water and Energy Commission Secretariat
(WECS) staff
• capacity enhancement of RBO staff, including RBO, sub-basins and
IRMCs
• joint planning, monitoring, and evaluation
• collaboration and coordination
30. • Long-term investment: River basin-scale objectives cannot be tackled within the scope of
a typical three- or five-year project.
• Proper institutions in place: A long-term management framework, such as a river basin
commission or authority, is required to provide the stability and continuity for IRBM to
succeed.
• Slow results: It is important not to generate unreasonably high expectations of quick
results among partners and stakeholders who may become anxious and/or disillusioned if
progress is slower than expected.
• Balanced approach: River basin management should be based on a clear vision and
agreement for balanced utilization of water and other resources between livelihood and
ecosystem requirements.
• Effective partnership: Partnership building among various stakeholders including private
sectors should be an essential ingredient of IRBM.
• Knowledge based: River basin conservation must be built on realistic information,
scientific base and utilization of indigenous knowledge, experience and traditional
management practices.

33. Water is a key driver of
economic and social
development while it also has a
basic function in maintaining the
integrity of the natural
environment. However water is
only one of a number of vital
natural resources and it is
imperative that water issues are
not considered in isolation.
This is the rationale for the IWRM
approach that has now been
accepted internationally as the
way forward for efficient,
equitable and sustainable
development and management of
the world's limited water resources
and for coping with conflicting
demands.http://www.un.org/waterforlifedecade/iwrm.shtml
34. • 17 SDGs goals are
related to water directly
or indirectly
• 8 SDGs require an
increased supply of safe,
secure and reliable
water.
• 6 SDGs address social
justice and equity in
access to forests and
water
• 3SDGs build and
maintain an ecological
infrastructure that
support
• 14 SDGs by adapting to
climate change and
securing ecosystems
At a river basin level, it is very important that all these aspects highlighted in the
SDGs are tackled in an integrated way.

36. The Nile Basin Initiative (NBI) is a partnership of 10 African
nations through which the Nile flows. It was formed to promote the
sustainability of the Nile River, by sharing the resources of the river to control
food production, trade, and hydropower. The countries involved in the NBI are:
Burundi, Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya, Sudan, Eritrea, the Democratic
