This handbook seeks to provide countries with the knowledge they need to act on the action target set at the World Summit on Sustainable Development in the way that is most useful for them. Strategies should catalyse action, not retard it. Each country must decide the scope and timeline for change based on its goals and its resources. The important thing is to take the first steps.
This paper aims to support reform processes in water resources management and development, and to guide the development towards IWRM. It discusses the content and importance of management plans under the overall umbrella of IWRM, as well as the process of drafting and implementing them. This is a Technical Background Paper, written by the GWP Technical Committee, a group of internationally recognised professionals in integrated water resources management.
