Introduction
The Importance of Water
Water is essential to human survival (20-40 litres per person daily)
Effective primary health care
Fight poverty, hunger, child mortality, gender inequality and environmental damage.
Millennium Development Goals

Facts on Water Crisis
More than 2 billion people suffer from water
shortages in over 40 countries;
1.1 billion people do not have access to safe
drinking water;
4 out of 10 people in the world do not have
access to improved sanitation (very basic
facilities);
2 million tonnes per day of human waste is
discharged into water courses;
Every year 1.6 million children below 5 years old
die because of unsafe water and lack of basic
sanitation.

Reasons for Water Crisis
Water resources under pressure from population growth, economic activity, growing competition from many water users;
Withdrawals increased more than twice the rate of population growth;
Development and pollution are exacerbating water scarcity;
Uncoordinated development and management of water resources;
Climate change will impact on water resources.
![Page 7: 1. chapter 1 part 1 introduction to iwrm](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/5478c0c7b37959492b8b4577/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Challenges
Improving access to water (all users) and sanitation
What is needed?
Government making this a priority;
Appropriate long-term financing;
Resolving competition among users and environmental challenges;
Advocacy on-behalf of poor;
Improved capacity of governments to deliver services to all users;
Government accountability in meeting the needs of all users.

What is IWRM?
A systematic process for sustainable
development, allocation and monitoring of
water resource use in the context of social,
economic and environmental goals and
objectives.
![Page 9: 1. chapter 1 part 1 introduction to iwrm](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/5478c0c7b37959492b8b4577/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
IWRM is a paradigm shift.
Departs from traditional approaches in three ways:
Cross-cutting and departs from traditional sectoral approach.
Spatial focus is the river basin;
Departure from narrow professional and political boundaries and perspectives and broadened to incorporate participatory decision-making of all stakeholders (Inclusion versus exclusion).
![Page 10: 1. chapter 1 part 1 introduction to iwrm](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/5478c0c7b37959492b8b4577/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Interdependency
The basis of IWRM is that there are a variety of
uses of water resources which are interdependent.
The need to consider
the different uses of water
together

The Water Balancing Act
Demand
• Increasing in all sectors
• Inefficient use
Supply • Quantity (Natural Scarcity,
Groundwater Depletion)
• Quality Degradation
• Cost of Options

Water Management Framework
At the core of the water management framework is:
Treatment of water as an economic and social good;
Decentralised management and delivery structures;
Greater reliance on economic instruments;
Broader participation of stakeholders.
![Page 16: 1. chapter 1 part 1 introduction to iwrm](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/5478c0c7b37959492b8b4577/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
What will a Water Management Framework do?
1) Provide framework for analysing policies and options that will guide decisions in relation to:
Water scarcity;
Service efficiency;
Water allocation; and
Environmental protection.
2) Facilitate consideration of relationships between the ecosystem and socio-economic activities in river basins.

Think about it
Could you give examples from your own country
where interdependency of water uses exists?
