Scope and Purpose
Scope and Purpose
The book is written by leading authorities on the current and latent issues
relating to river basin management (RBM) and brings to the reader an up
to date analysis and provides a window into this important subject. A key
aspect of the work is that of achieving
balance.
Technical approaches can
address some issues such as hydropower generation, flood mitigation,
provision of water for irrigated agriculture to feed burgeoning populations,
recreation and navigation, etc. but balancing these is the negotiated outcome
of social processes. Ultimately it is these social processes that are the hard
part, and often the stumbling block, for improving RBM.
This book is divided into four Parts.
PART 1 IWRM—Principles and Practices
Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) is seen by many as the
way forward towards food, water, and energy security. It ideally offers a
way and means to better manage water across a territory; managing demand
and using limited water more efficiently; adopting new policies in order
to cope with climate change and variability, including flood and drought
events; increasing water supply through the use of non conventional water
resources, especially waste water; adopting approaches of stakeholder
participation and information exchange; and raising public awareness of
the value of water.
This Part comprises 6 chapters detailing experience with IWRM
formulation, transfer, adaptation and implementation in both developed
and developing countries. It draws on the rich experience of water
management practitioners and puts into sharp focus the strengths and
limitations of the IWRM approach.

with territorial development to better account for people and place in river
basin management.
