Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM)

Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) is a holistic approach to managing water resources that considers the interconnectedness of water, land, and related resources. It aims to ensure sustainable use of freshwater, balancing social, economic, and environmental needs. IWRM involves collaboration among various stakeholders, including government, communities, and industries, to address challenges like water scarcity, pollution, and climate change. By managing water resources in a coordinated way, IWRM helps to enhance water quality, improve access, promote equitable distribution, and protect ecosystems, ultimately supporting sustainable development and improving the quality of life for people.
