Definition and concepts

Definition:

It measures the stages of development and implementation of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM).

Concepts:

The concept of IWRM is measured in 4 main sections, each representing key dimension of IWRM:

1. Enabling environment: this includes the policies, laws, plans and strategies which create the ‘enabling environment’ for IWRM.

2. Institutions and participation: includes the range and roles of political, social, economic and administrative institutions that help to support the implementation of IWRM.

3. Management Instruments: The tools and activities that enable decision-makers and users to make rational and informed choices between alternative actions.

4. Financing: Budgeting and financing made available and used for water resources development and management from various sources.
