ABSTRACT

The significance of integrated water resources management (IWRM) is broadly recognized, but practical implementation methods are little known. This paper proposes a Practical IWRM approach that has the potential to accelerate consensus-building and problem-solving relating to water resources based on the formation of an aligned perception of natural and human-made water resource systems among stakeholders, and the establishment of a properly functioning multi-stakeholder partnership (MSP). This approach was applied in four countries – Sudan, Bolivia, Indonesia and Iran – where it has worked well in different contexts, and can be an effective methodology usable elsewhere in the field.

摘要

水资源综合管理 (IWRM) 的重要性得到广泛认可，但实际的实施方法却鲜为人知。本文提出了一种实用的 IWRM 方法，该方法有可能在利益相关者之间形成对自然和人造水资源系统的一致看法，并建立适当的水资源运作的多方利益相关者伙伴关系 (MSP)。这种方法在四个国家——苏丹、玻利维亚、印度尼西亚和伊朗——得到应用，在不同的环境中效果很好，并且可以成为该领域其他地方可用的有效方法。
