on-line knowledge on IWRM

Global Water Partnership

Objective of the IWRM approach is not water

management as such

but human development.

IWRM approach can only work

if it does not focus exclusively on water.

C2.8 &(C2.6)

WSS Project Scheme

Application of IRWM tools in WSS

• Managing Demand and Supply (C3.1-3.3)– Better efficiency of water use and better efficiency of water supply

• Technologies exist

• Metering and pricing systems act as incentives

• Education and communication campaigns should target direct users

– Recycling and resuse

• Technologies exist but are very costly and not always user-friendly

– Sustainable sanitation concept

• Ecological sanitation

• Open waste water planning

WSS Project Scheme

Application of IWRM tools in WSS

• Better governance and institutional reforms (B1 and

B2)

– Camdessus: ”increasing financial flows will make no

sense unless there is an equally effort to reform the

way the world tackles its water problem” – pouring

new $ into old managment will not be sustainable

solution.

C7.1-7.3

Application of IWRM tools in WSS

• Role of economic instruments (C7.2-C7.3)

– Internalize external environmental costs

– Incentives for environmental investments

– Cost-effective pollution control

– Raising revenue

Why do we need a Case study?

Theoretical description

Synthezied memory

Practical implementation

Typical format of case study

1. Problem(s) to be addressed

2. Actions taken

3. Outcomes (expected & unexpected, impact of action,

resources needed, sustainability of outcomes)

4. Lessons learned (what is useful for others)

5. Links and other supporting information/publications

Criteria for the case study

• Cases are not limited to “good” stories – “bad” stories are also welcomed

• Cases should

– illustrate the application of IWRM tools

– have overall relevance to IWRM – with lessons about how an IWRM approach supports water management across sectors

– Reflect both pros and cons

What is not a case study

• Something what did not happen (“theoretical”

issues, recommendations, advise)

• Guidelines on how and what should be done

• Something what did not bring the results (good

or bad) – reports on workshops, conferences

What did I see at students papers:

• Title: Improvement of sanitation in XX town

– Analytical part (details about needs to provide local citizens with sanitation;

technological aspects, level of treatment and pollution control, enginnering

solutions)

– Synthesis part (recommendations to City Hall to build infrastructure)

– Why sanitation service?

– Alternatives? (involvement of other sectors, including energy sector!!)

– Who pays for investments? Who pays for O&M running cost (taxes, fees)?

– Sanitation & Water supply (two integral services)

– Stakeholders analysis, involvement?

– Future demands (increasing/decreasing)
