Integrated Water Cycle Management

Integrated Water Cycle Management (IWCM) is a holistic approach to managing freshwater resources. It recognizes that all parts of the water cycle—such as rainfall, rivers, groundwater, and wastewater—are interconnected. IWCM aims to balance environmental sustainability, community needs, and economic development by coordinating water supply, quality, and usage. By integrating various stakeholders, including governments, industries, and communities, IWCM seeks to optimize water management practices, reduce waste, protect ecosystems, and ensure a reliable water supply for future generations. This comprehensive strategy addresses challenges like climate change, urbanization, and water scarcity effectively.
