How to Fund Basin Management Plans? Invest in IWRM, it Pays Back!
Water and energy shortages, pollution, waste, ecosystem destruction: the situation in many countries is serious and is likely to get worse with climate change. Immediate action is urgent and a global, integrated and coherent water resources policy must be implemented, taking account of the legitimate needs of the populations, while protecting aquatic and land ecosystems, to preserve the future and the heritage of mankind. The Millennium Development Goals for drinking water and sanitation cannot be achieved without significant progress being made towards simultaneous introduction of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM), organized at the relevant river basin, lake and aquifer levels, whether local, national or transboundary. The organization of IWRM at basin level with application of the six fundamental principles offers a pertinent framework for planning and for coherent mobilization of funding, whatever the country s level of development.
