Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) simplified means that all the different uses of water resources are considered together. It is a process which promotes the co-ordinated management of water, land and related resources, in order to maximize the resultant economic and social welfare in an equitable manner without compromising the sustainability of vital ecosystems. It can be applied on a local, national and international level, and its principles can help you to take the best decisions for water in your project. Cap-Net created this tutorial on the basic principles.
