Community-based Water Management

Community-Based Water Management (CBWM) refers to a collaborative approach where local communities actively participate in the management and decision-making regarding their water resources. This method emphasizes the importance of local knowledge and involvement, ensuring that water is used sustainably and equitably. By engaging community members, CBWM seeks to address specific local needs, promote conservation, and improve access to clean water. It fosters a sense of ownership and responsibility among residents, ultimately enhancing the resilience and health of both the community and its natural water systems.
