At the end, add: GWP acts as a facilitator for knowledge sharing.
GWP is also, as the name implies, a partnership . It has over 2,000 partners – water experts, development banks and agencies, government institutions, private companies, professional associations, non-government organizations, academic and research institutions, and others. The partners are committed to the Dublin-Rio principles and to manage water resources aiming at a fair balance of economic efficiency, social equity and ecosystem sustainability. GWP is also a network of Regional Water Partnerships (13) and Country Water Partnerships (currently 73). The Secretariat is located in Stockholm, Sweden. There are network officers to liaise with the RWPs and CWPs. One of the RWPs is for South East Asia.
For example, more coordinated development and management of: land and water, surface water and ground water, upstream and downstream interests .
Different uses of water are interdependent. Integrated management means that all the different uses are considered together.
[1 click - “and scales.” + pyramid on your click] Scales aspect of IWRM is often forgotten. But it is necessary in order to: Put into practice the 2 nd Dublin Principle: Water development and management should be based on a participatory approach, involving users, planners and policy-makers at all levels. Achieve more efficient use of limited water resources Ensure decision-making is taking place at the lowest appropriate level. And that decisions made at local and river-basin levels are in-line with, or at least do not conflict with, the achievement of broader national objectives, and in turn, that national objectives reflect local needs. In some countries means more decentralized decision-making. E.g. In Thailand, where IWRM approach used to improve the responsiveness of water management to local conditions and to resolve conflicts that had arisen during phase of centralized water management. In others, means bumping some types of decisions up to the river basin or national level – for example decisions on water allocation frameworks.
Centralized in national government – little or no role for local governments and affected communities Fragmented institutionally – each agency does its thing, for its own sector or level Fragmented spatially – political boundaries at local and national levels Sectoral management of water quantity and quality – hydropower, water supply, irrigation, fishing concerns taken separately. Decisions made by one sector do not consider impacts of that decision on other sectors. EX. Dams for hydropower have effect on fish. Sudden release of water from dams causes flash floods. Project focused – Participatory at all levels – involves local government and affected communities in decision-making, disaster preparedness, etc. Institutionalized cooperation/collaboration among different stakeholders – national and local governments, NGOs and people’s organizations, academe, private sector… Collaborative across boundaries, within river basin
Water is becoming scarcer and its economic value is rising. Recognition that costs should be borne by those who benefit.
