«Проект по экономической реабилитации и построению мер доверия» Integrating interests and institutions in water resource management 25th June, 2013 Eng. Ahmed AbouElseoud Water Resources Management Expert
IWRM Principles: Rio/Dublin The “ecological principle” Finite and vulnerable resource…. Holistic approach…. Human and natural systems..
IWRM Principles The “institutional” principle • Management at the lowest appropriate level… • Participation by all… • Vulnerable sections and women..
IWRM Principles The “socio-economic” principle Social and economic aspects of water services…. Needs of all users in a sustainable manner…
Implications • Mechanisms and processes of “coordination” within water and with management of “related resources” • Welfare of all • Concern for equity • Attention to demand management, environmental needs, and sustainability critical
LEGAL FUNCTION ORGANIZATIONAL FUNCTION OPERATIONAL FUNCTION Establishing laws and policies River basin management Water services, uses and users Enabling Environment: Analytical Framework
Enabling Environment • Politics • Policies • Law • Information and Participation
Politics Competing claims for water Competing interests over water management Need for negotiations and optimal outcomes
Politics • Who wants reform? • Who are the winners and losers? • How can interests be negotiated ?
Policies • Links with overall social and economic development • Framework for managing water resources • Resource management • Service provision
Policy links with social and economic development • Population growth and location • Urbanization and industrialization • Income growth • Environmental degradation • Fiscal constraints • Institutional constraints
Resource management Service Provision Quantity & quality Location & need Demand & supply Levels of management, institnl effectiveness Institnl sustainability & participation by users, private sector Financing needs & sustainability Environmental needs & sustainability Policies: framework for management
Time Cost Participation Comprehensiveness Flexibility Ownership Implementability Policies
LAWS • Formalizes policy intent • Basis for enforcement • Fit for purpose
Existing laws ? Cooperatives New laws ? Legislation Transition ? Decree Govt order Purpose ? Time ? Trial ? Enforceability ? Laws
Data for modeling, water planning and management Data for awareness, simulation, and participation INFORMATION AND PARTICIPATION
Participation -- what it does • Broadens awareness – “more shoulders” • Windows of communication– new ideas and feedback “We don’t know it all..”
Information and Participation • Intensity • Instruments • Incentives
Gender • Participation • Impacts on women • Evaluation and feedback by women
Public sector Private sector Water users Communities NGOs Environ groups Basin entities Water rights Water planning and allocation Water management Regulation Financing M&E Information and communication Capacity building Rules
The Process: Implementing IWRM Economic Efficiency Equity Environmental Sustainability • Management • Instruments • Assessment • Information • Allocation • Instruments • Enabling • Environment • Policies • Legislation • Institutional • Framework • Central - Local • River Basin • Public-Private Balance ‘water for livelihood’ and ‘water as a resource’
Integrated Water Resources Management Augment Control To = Supply Demand Conserving the Environment
Challenges • An enabling policy is needed to have a government mandate that will translate the IWRM plan framework into a collaborative initiative of all water-related agencies, and supported by other government agencies. • Establish an efficient and effective monitoring and evaluation system • Continuous capacity building at the national, regional and local levels • Sharing of lessons learned and technology options • Awareness campaign and information dissemination as a continuous process • Continuous technical and financial support to sustain implementation • Mainstreaming IWRM in all water related activities in regional and local plans • To conduct water resources assessment studies in water constrained areas to come up with decision support tools.
