Integrated water resource management
3rd Mekong Forum on Water, Food & Energy. Presentation from Session 16: Processes of catchment management.
1. chapter 1 part 1 introduction to iwrm
This document introduces integrated water resources management (IWRM). It discusses the global water crisis, including that over 2 billion people suffer water shortages and 1.1 billion lack access to safe drinking water. IWRM is presented as a framework that takes a holistic, cross-sectoral approach to managing water resources at the river basin level through participatory decision-making. The key elements of IWRM include considering the interdependency between different water uses, treating water as both an economic and social good, and establishing decentralized management structures that rely on economic instruments and stakeholder participation. Adopting a water management framework based on IWRM principles can help analyze policies, guide water allocation decisions, and facilitate consideration of relationships

This document summarizes a presentation by Prof. Dr. Khin Ni Ni Thein on good water governance and integrated water resources management (IWRM) as prerequisites for water-energy-food security. The presentation defines water governance and explains that effective water governance seeks a balance across social, political, economic and environmental dimensions. IWRM is described as an effective management of the entire water cycle across all sectors and scales. The presentation discusses establishing laws, institutions, and stakeholder participation to strengthen water governance frameworks and decision making. It provides context on water management challenges and reforms needed in Myanmar to achieve sustainability, development, and help prevent conflicts over limited water resources.
Increased water scarcity is fundamentally a problem of management
Increased water scarcity is a problem of management rather than availability. Pricing water can make it more accessible, healthy, and sustainable over the long term by incentivizing conservation and funding infrastructure. An effective pricing system considers ability to pay and charges more for higher usage or pollution. Pricing faces limitations like increasing costs for vulnerable groups or farmers but is still important for allocating scarce water resources efficiently and sustainably.
Introduction to IWRM
Presentation made at GWP-C's first Regional Media Workshop on IWRM held in Barbados on December 2010.
Aims and scope of Water Resource Management
Water Resources Management is a multidisciplinary field that covers the assessment, development, conservation, and control of water resources through policies and strategies. It also involves planning, designing, operating, maintaining and administering water resource systems, as well as studying water demand, hydrology, management techniques, simulation, forecasting, economics, social impacts, legislation, and protection of water resources.
Water Resource Management
The document discusses water resource management and presents insights from an IBM Watson analytics model. The model examines the impact of precipitation, temperature, and per capita water usage on optimal water conservation techniques. It finds that water treatment plants are often the best solution for areas with extreme temperatures and low precipitation. Underground water harvesting is commonly recommended, as it is an affordable option for countries with medium to high precipitation and temperatures. The model can help countries select efficient techniques by considering their unique climatic conditions.

The document introduces integrated water resources management (IWRM) as a framework for sustainable water management. It discusses that water is essential but there is a global water crisis due to increasing demand, pollution, and uncoordinated development. IWRM is presented as a solution that takes a holistic, cross-sectoral approach considering social, economic, and environmental interdependencies between different water uses. The key aspects of IWRM include decentralized management structures, greater economic incentives, and broader stakeholder participation.
Introduction to Water Resource Management
Integrated water resources management considers multiple perspectives in water management decisions. It aims to balance social, economic, environmental and technical factors. Key challenges include accommodating different viewpoints from governmental and interest groups, geographic regions, academic disciplines, and facilitating coordination between stakeholders. Total water management pursues the sustainable and equitable allocation of limited water resources through efficient, collaborative and adaptive long-term planning.
Water resource management in Bangladesh
he management of water resources has become a critical need in Bangladesh because of growing demand for water and increasing conflict over its alternative uses. As populations expand and make various uses of water, its growing scarcity becomes a serious issue in developing countries such as Bangladesh.
Water
The document discusses several topics related to global water politics and access. It notes that while water is plentiful globally, one in five people lack access to safe drinking water. Several regions face water challenges, such as Beijing whose water table is dropping rapidly, and the Middle East which has only 0.9% of the world's water resources to support 5% of the population. The document lists several organizations and resources focused on water issues globally. It also provides a brief case study on water access challenges in Northern Ghana and mentions that an estimated 40% of water projects fail due to inappropriate technology or lack of community participation.

This document provides an overview of decision support systems (DSS) for integrated water resources management at the river basin level. It discusses how DSS integrate watershed processes, simulation models, and decision making approaches to support water management. The document outlines key components of DSS and examples of DSS that have been developed for applications like flood forecasting, reservoir operation, and integrated river basin management. It also discusses the MULINO-DSS project in Europe which aimed to design an operational DSS to support sustainable water resources management based on hydrologic modeling, multi-disciplinary indicators, and multi-criteria evaluation.
Water resource management
This document provides an overview of critical challenges facing sustainable water resource management including increasing costs of developing new water supplies, wasteful use of existing water, degradation of irrigated cropland, and groundwater depletion. It outlines a research agenda to understand how policies and institutions can help address these challenges through more effective water management, increased food production, poverty alleviation, and environmental sustainability. The goals are to understand the impacts of alternative policies on water, poverty, ecosystems, and food security and utilize this to help develop sustainable water management strategies.
06 115 water resources management
The document discusses integrated water resource management and its various components and challenges. It addresses managing water resources for multiple purposes across different agencies, regions, and disciplines. Integrated management considers natural water systems and promotes conservation, public health, and stakeholder involvement through a dynamic process. It emphasizes efficient agricultural water use and managing irrigation water for drinking. Conservation planning and least-cost planning are methods to balance supply and demand management.
Water Resource Management
A hand note on water resource management, specially in the context of Bangladesh. I prepared the note for the MS final exam on the course water resource management.
Why is water resources management critical
Water resources management is critical because water shortages, quality deterioration, and flood impacts require greater attention and action. Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) is a process that can help countries deal with water issues in a sustainable way. IWRM calls for coordinating the development and management of water, land, and related resources to maximize economic and social welfare without compromising ecosystems. It requires integrating management between different water uses and involving various stakeholders.
Development and urban infrastructure: a sustainability perspective
This document discusses the need for a more sustainable approach to urban infrastructure and water management. It argues that current approaches are environmentally and economically unsustainable. A new approach should focus on demand-side analysis and water use, be cost-effective and adaptable, meet actual needs through service provision rather than just supply, and be equitable and environmentally sustainable. This requires understanding current water use through end-use studies to accurately forecast demand and plan integrated supply and demand options. Developing cities have an opportunity to implement more sustainable fourth generation systems from the start.

National water policy
The National Water Policy of India aims to govern water resource planning and development. The first policy was adopted in 1987 and updated in 2002 and 2012. It seeks to establish a national information system, maximize water availability through resource planning and recycling, regulate groundwater exploitation, and emphasize human settlement and environmental protection. The 2012 draft policy outlines principles like social justice in water use and an integrated management approach. It also covers enhancing water sources, pricing, project implementation, flood/drought management, transboundary cooperation, research/training needs, and implementing the policy through various government bodies.
WATER MANGMENT A SOLUTION TO PAKISTAN WATER SCARCITY
This document discusses water management solutions for Pakistan's water scarcity issues. It notes that Pakistan's population is growing while available water resources are decreasing. The key points made are:
1. Pakistan needs better management of its water resources through small-scale solutions like maintaining irrigation channels, constructing small dams and run-of-river structures, and increasing storage capacity in river beds and reservoirs.
2. A public-private partnership (PPP) model is proposed for water management, with federal, provincial, and district water authorities responsible for large-scale river management and smaller-scale canal maintenance respectively, funded through water user fees.
3. Improved maintenance of canals and channels through community participation can reduce water
Geopolitics of Water In The MENA
The document discusses water scarcity issues facing the Middle East and North Africa region, noting that the region has only 4.5% of the world's population but produces half of the world's oil, yet receives only 2% of the world's rainfall. Rapid population growth is exacerbating water shortages in the region, as water withdrawals have tripled in the last 50 years and per capita water availability is projected to fall by half by 2050 under the pressures of climate change. This growing water crisis poses major challenges for national and regional food security, economic development, and political stability.
Water preservation
The document discusses the global water crisis and preservation efforts. It notes that over 2 billion people face high water stress and 700 million could be displaced by 2030 due to scarcity. Causes include population growth, mismanagement, and various forms of pollution. Preservation strategies involve sustainable management through prevention of waste, water harvesting, and various household, agricultural, and social measures like rainwater harvesting, drip irrigation, and awareness campaigns. Overall the document emphasizes that small individual efforts can help alleviate the growing water crisis through conservation and sustainable use of resources.

The water-food-energy nexus recognizes the interdependence between water, food, and energy security. Meeting the growing global demands for food, energy, and water will require managing these sectors in an integrated way rather than in isolation. Climate change introduces additional uncertainties by increasing tensions between sectors for access to limited water resources. Achieving the SDGs related to water, food, and energy will require nexus solutions that balance the competing needs of these sectors in a sustainable manner.Talk on national water policy 2012 tata steel csr nrd 2015

water daze project
The Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex region of Texas is one of the fastest growing areas in the country, with a population projected to nearly double to over 13 million by 2060. As a result, water demand is projected to increase by 86% over that period, driven mainly by a 91% increase in municipal use. To meet the additional 1.6 million acre-feet of water needed annually by 2060, water management plans call for increasing water reuse and conservation measures, as well as constructing four new major reservoirs at an estimated cost of $21.5 billion. Conservation strategies include education, pricing structures, wastewater prohibitions, audits, and plumbing code changes.
T7 abdelkrim elmajoudi watershed management exec summary
Dams are losing storage capacity at a rate of 0.5% per year due to siltation, equivalent to irrigating at least 10,000 hectares annually. In response, Morocco's High Commission for Water, Forest and Combating Desertification developed a National Watershed Management Plan from 1990-1996 with international organizations and national stakeholders. Many watershed management projects have been implemented under this plan using participatory and partnership approaches to promote integrated local development and natural resource management. These projects represent essential elements of national water and rural development strategies by improving rural livelihoods while conserving natural resources and promoting sustainable development. They are also key to combating desertification by addressing soil erosion.

Irrigation efficiency is estimated to be around 35-40% but could be improved to 60-75% by 2050. Domestic water supply faces losses of 30-50% due to leakages. Industrial plants use 2-3.5 times more water per unit of production than similar plants abroad. The document then outlines various measures that could improve efficiencies, such as completing irrigation projects, lining canals, improving on-farm water management, adopting micro-irrigation, and reducing leakages in domestic supply
UNESCO Transboundary Waters
Transboundary water sharing often causes conflicts but has generally not led to war. Developing integrated river basin management requires institutional frameworks, equitable allocation agreements, and decision support systems using shared data. The Netherlands aims to establish a global center for water law and governance to help resolve international water issues.

6 current trends in water mgt 11nov08
This document summarizes current trends in water quality and resources management. It discusses how a holistic policy approach is crucial for sustainable development. The objectives of policy should be to establish transparent structures for water supply, ensure long-term availability and sustainability of water, and regulate for the benefit of consumers. It uses Malaysia as a case study, noting initiatives have included meeting domestic and industrial demand, improving efficiency in water supply systems and quality, and privatizing the water supply industry for better management.
Keynote 1 Dr Shahbaz Khan
This document discusses global water security challenges and outlines UNESCO's strategy and programs to address them. It notes that over 1 billion people lack access to clean water or sanitation and millions die each year from water-related disease. UNESCO's strategy includes lobbying for a UN Sustainable Development Goal on water and working through its International Hydrological Program on issues like improving water management, building capacity, and promoting sustainable solutions through ecohydrology. The goal is to help all communities achieve water security now and develop more sustainable water systems for the future.

Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

Recycling and Disposal on SWM Raymond Einyu pptx
Increasing urbanization, rural–urban migration, rising standards of living, and rapid development associated with population growth have resulted in increased solid waste generation by industrial, domestic and other activities in Nairobi City. It has been noted in other contexts too that increasing population, changing consumption patterns, economic development, changing income, urbanization and industrialization all contribute to the increased generation of waste.
With the increasing urban population in Kenya, which is estimated to be growing at a rate higher than that of the country’s general population, waste generation and management is already a major challenge. The industrialization and urbanization process in the country, dominated by one major city – Nairobi, which has around four times the population of the next largest urban centre (Mombasa) – has witnessed an exponential increase in the generation of solid waste. It is projected that by 2030, about 50 per cent of the Kenyan population will be urban.
Aim:
A healthy, safe, secure and sustainable solid waste management system fit for a world – class city.
Improve and protect the public health of Nairobi residents and visitors.
Ecological health, diversity and productivity and maximize resource recovery through the participatory approach.
Goals:
Build awareness and capacity for source separation as essential components of sustainable waste management.
Build new environmentally sound infrastructure and systems for safe disposal of residual waste and replacing current dumpsites which should be commissioned.
Current solid waste management situation:
The status.
Solid waste generation rate is at 2240 tones / day
collection efficiently is at about 50%.
Actors i.e. city authorities, CBO’s , private firms and self-disposal
Current SWM Situation in Nairobi City:
Solid waste generation – collection – dumping
Good Practices:
• Separation – recycling – marketing.
• Open dumpsite dandora dump site through public education on source separation of waste, of which the situation can be reversed.
• Nairobi is one of the C40 cities in this respect , various actors in the solid waste management space have adopted a variety of technologies to reduce short lived climate pollutants including source separation , recycling , marketing of the recycled products.
• Through the network, it should expect to benefit from expertise of the different actors in the network in terms of applicable technologies and practices in reducing the short-lived climate pollutants.
Good practices:
Despite the dismal collection of solid waste in Nairobi city, there are practices and activities of informal actors (CBOs, CBO-SACCOs and yard shop operators) and other formal industrial actors on solid waste collection, recycling and waste reduction.
Practices and activities of these actor groups are viewed as innovations with the potential to change the way solid waste is handled.
CHALLENGES:
• Resource Allocation.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

Water Management in Central Asia
- 1. Water Management in Central Asia International Ataturk Alatoo University,Department of International Relations Saida Umarova
- 2. Title “The human right to water entitles everyone to sufficient, safe, acceptable, physically accessible and affordable water for personal and domestic uses. An adequate amount of safe water is necessary to prevent death from dehydration, reduce the risk of water-related disease and provide for consumption, cooking, personal and domestic hygienic requirements”. (General Comment 15, CESCR, 2002) CONSERVE TO PRESESRVE
- 3. Introduction • Central Asia faces big water-related challenges, among them water scarcity, degrading water quality and inefficient water use. Climate change may even aggravate the situation. These challenges can be met only in a joint effort of all Central Asian states.
- 4. Problems Water scarcity • GLOBAL PROBLEM • ACUTE IN CENTRAL ASIA. • SEVERE OVER-EXPLOITATION OF THE AVAILABLE WATER RESOURCES • THE EFFECTS OF GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE • UNEVEN DISTRIBUTED WATER • USAGE OF WATER FOR DIFFERENT PURPOSES. The scarcity of water resources, inappropriate management and disparate interests – are all factors that make the distribution of water in Central Asia into a major source of potential tensions.
- 5. Usage of water • In the absence of alternatives, the water-rich countries Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, situated on the upper reaches of the major rivers Syr Darya and Amu Darya, use water predominantly for hydropower production in winter. • On the other hand, the downstream countries Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, mainly use water for irrigating crops in summer.
- 7. Map of the World showing water scarcity Central Asia is a region with “Physical water scarcity ”
- 8. International actors in Central Asia• The Transboundary Water Management in Central Asia programme is implemented by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH on behalf of theGerman Federal Foreign Office. • In cooperation with the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) and representatives of all five Central Asian states, proposals for strengthening the institutional capacity of the Executive Committee of the International Fund for Saving the Aral Sea (EC IFAS) have been elaborated. In a comprehensive project, EC IFAS and the five states as well as GIZ, UNECE and representatives of other international partners collectively devised a scheme to improve water management across the Aral Sea Basin – the Third Aral Sea Basin Programme – which has been approved by all five states.
- 9. Adaptation options in Central Asia The options explored can be summarized in three broad categories: • expanding the supply of water available in the future; • increasing the productivity of water; and • reducing future demand for water. • Climate change will put additional challenges on decision makers to manage water resources in a beneficial way both to the environment and human life. Solutions are possible when decision makers will act adequately, resources are available and actions will be taken in common understanding of all countries.
