Local IWRM
Under this theme, we look at the interface between Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) services delivery and integrated water resources management (IWRM), particularly at the local level. Two entry points are taken: 1) ensuring access of the poor to an equitable share of water resources at catchment level, and 2) the promotion of water and sanitation for multiple uses at household level, to support people's livelihoods.

Case study: local government involvement in IWRM in South Africa
This case study analyses different forms in which local governments engage in IWRM in South Africa. It does so by looking at both the role of local government in catchment level institutions, such as catchment management agencies and catchment fora, as well as by analysing the application of IWRM principles in sectoral mandates of local government.It concludes that although local governments have an important role to play in IWRM, they often lack capacity to fully engage in it.

This folder contains publications and project experiences with these approaches.
IWRM – the difficulties of river basin management
Integrated water resources management (IWRM) remains an elusive concept to many people, yet countries are implementing IWRM plans and facing the challenge of what this means on the ground. The international scale of reform suggests not only that a lot of capacity development is required, but also that there is a lot to be gained from rapid and efficient exchanges of experience.
