Water Resources Management
Integrated water resources management is based on the perception of water as an integral part of the ecosystem, a natu-ral resource and a social and economic good, whose quantity and quality determine the nature of its utilization. The inte-gration approach has to incorporate policy options that recognize these elements, develop national water policies and to base the demand for and allocation of water resources on equity and efficient use.
