A Handbook for Integrated Water Resources Management in Basins, (No.1, 2009)

This handbook articulates the links between challenges and IWRM responses. Drawing on many experiences around the world, the handbook provides practical guidance for improving the governance of freshwater resources, in particular through effective application of the integrated water resources management (IWRM) approach in lakes, river basins, and aquifers. The guidance is applicable in basins regardless of the context (developed or developing countries, humid or arid conditions) or the current state of water governance.
