Integrated Water Resources

Description

Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) is an approach to managing water resources in a sustainable and coordinated way. It focuses on the holistic development and management of water, land, and related resources to maximize economic and social benefits while ensuring environmental sustainability. IWRM considers the interdependencies between water systems, ecosystems, and human activities. It promotes collaboration among stakeholders, such as governments, communities, and industries, to address challenges like water scarcity, pollution, and climate change. This approach aims to balance competing water needs while maintaining ecosystem health and ensuring equitable access to water.
