Integrated Water Resource Management

  • Integrated Water Resource Management

As defined by the Global Water Partnership, integrated water resource management is a process which promotes the coordinated development and 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. Resources available within this theme provide guidance on how to conserve and restore watersheds, reduce pollution, adapt to climate change and reduce risks from floods and droughts.

Adapting Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems to Stormwater Management in an Informal Setting

Published: 
January 1, 2011
Worcester Polytechnic Institute
A major problem in the informal settlement of Monwabisi Park, Cape Town, is flooding caused by the low-lying topography and lack of stormwater management systems. Conducting a case study and working with local residents, we created a guidebook that analyzed the physical and social conditions...Read more

Addressing Water Misconceptions in Katutura

Published: 
January 1, 2005
Worcester Polytechnic Institute
Namibia is the driest country south of the Sahara. The administration of Windhoek, the capital, predicts that by the year 2020, the water demands will be greater than the supply. Many residents in Katutura, a mainly black section of Windhoek, have misconceptions about the quality of water they...Read more

An Analysis of Small-Scale Wind Pump Design for Use in Developing Countries

Published: 
January 1, 2013
Worcester Polytechnic Institute
The aim of this project was to design and construct a wind pump that is able to provide water to a rural third world village. This was achieved by using a Savonius-Darrieus turbine connected to a rope pump in order to create a system that was robust and easy to construct in a low-technology area...Read more

Improving Water Quality (2 of 3): A National Modeling Analysis on Increasing Cost Effectiveness Through Better Targeting of U.S. Farm Conservation Funds

Published: 
June 1, 2014
World Resources Institute
In this second installment of our 3-part series on better targeting of U.S. farm conservation funds, WRI found that combining geographic targeting with benefit-cost principles could potentially yield seven to 12 times more environmental benefits per dollar spent than the current approach. To...Read more
