  2. What is IWRM? Equity: in allocation of costs and benefits to promote sustainable social development Efficiency: maximizing the economic and social welfare Environmental Sustainability Definition of IWRM IWRM is a process which promotes the co-ordinated development and management of water, land and related resources, in order to maximise the resultant economic and social welfare in an equitable manner without compromising the sustainability of vital ecosystems.

  4. Integrated Water Resources and Wastewater Management All include elements of LAND MANAGEMENT Themed Groups1. Sanitation and wastewater2. Catchment management and watershed issues3. Groundwater and surface water interactions Pacific Islands Applied Geoscience Commission www.sopac.org

  5. TUVALU:Integrated Sustainable Wastewater Management (Ecosan) • Reduction in use of primary water resource supply for toilet flushing • Protection of secondary water sources from pollution – groundwater • Water and wastewater management approaches • Reduction in sewage to soils, GW and lagoons to protect environmental and public health • Composting toilet development - for humans and pig manure • Practical demonstrations with Government and civil society involved Pacific Islands Applied Geoscience Commission www.sopac.org

  6. NIUE: Using Integrated Land Use, Water Supply, and Wastewater Management as a Protection Model for Alofi Town GW Supply and Reef Fishery • Urban Land Use Protection: septic tank improvement, solid waste collection, fuel & oil storage, hazardous waste • Agricultural and Rural Land Use Protection: agro-chemical storage, piggery fencing and effluent waste mgmt, fish processing plant effluent waste mgmt, road run-off • Water Conservation & Demand Mgmt: rainwater storage tanks, leakage reduction campaign, conservation & awareness campaigns, crop water usage Pacific Islands Applied Geoscience Commission www.sopac.org

  7. VANUATU: Sustainable Management of Sarakata Watershed • Develop Sarakata Watershed Mgmt Plan: participatory ecological and socio-economic surveys, watershed and landuse maps, i.d. appropriate mgmt strategies • Implement Watershed Mgmt Plan: apply best practice farming techniques with communities, manage de-forestation and promote re-forestation, implement coastal mgmt practices to protect coral reefs, establish protected areas within community mgmt approaches • Water Conservation & Demand Mgmt: relocate Luganville water supply intake, develop & implement water safety plans, develop demand mgmt for efficient water delivery, improve flood monitoring systems Pacific Islands Applied Geoscience Commission www.sopac.org

  8. Regional components COMPONENT 1: Demonstrations of IWRM and WUE – Removing Barriers to Implementation at the National/local Level. COMPONENT 2: Monitoring and Evaluation – Indicator Assessment COMPONENT 3: Implementation of IWRM and WUE – Policy, Legal and Institutional Reforms COMPONENT 4: Regional and National Capacity Building and Sustainability for IWRM COMPONENT 5: International networking, and particularly south-south inter-regional SIDS learning and exchange programmes COMPONENT 6: Project Management and Coordination Pacific Islands Applied Geoscience Commission www.sopac.org

  9. Next Steps • 3rd Steering Committee Meeting November 5-8th Suva • Final Demonstration Project Design – identifying initial indicators, gender mainstreamed • On-the-ground interventions • Regional Components • Implementation – practical steps • Submission to UNDP December, GEF February Pacific Islands Applied Geoscience Commission www.sopac.org

  10. Links between IWRM and SLM • Numerous links between water and land management • Hand-in-hand, look to manage, protect, enhance one, you naturally enhance the other • Regional Components – linked to EU Water Facility Project – IWRM Resource Centre • HYCOS Pacific Islands Applied Geoscience Commission www.sopac.org
