Book excerpt: On the occasion of the International Year of Mountains-2002, FAO and its partners undertook a large-scale assessment and global review of the current status and future trends of integrated and participatory watershed management. The overall objectives were to promote the exchange and dissemination of experiences in implementing watershed management projects in the decade from 1990 to 2000 and to identify the vision for a new generation of watershed management programmes and projects. This resource book represents a summary and critical analysis of the rich discussions and vast materials that emerged during the review, as well as the review's findings and recommendations. It presents the state of the art in watershed management, promotes further reflection and creative thinking and proposes new ideas and approaches for future watershed management programmes and projects. This publication has been written primarily for field-level watershed management practitioners and local decision-makers involved in watershed management at the district or municipality level. It will also be a useful source of information for other readers such as senior officers and consultants specialized in other areas, evaluators, policy-makers and students of watershed management

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Better water management will be crucial if we are to meet many of the key challenges of this century - feeding the worlds growing population and reducing poverty, meeting water and sanitation needs, protecting vital ecosystems, all while adapting to climate change. The approach known as Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) is widely recognized as the best way forward, but is poorly understood, even within the water sector. Since a core IWRM principle is that good water management must involve the water users, the understanding and involvement of other sectors is critical for success. There is thus an urgent need for practical guidance, for both water and development professionals, based on real world examples, rather than theoretical constructs. That is what this book provides. Using case studies, the book illustrates how better water management, guided by the IWRM approach, has helped to meet a wide range of sustainable development goals. It does this by considering practical examples, looking at how IWRM has contributed, at different scales, from very local, village-level experiences to reforms at national level and beyond to cases involving trans-boundary river basins. Using these on-the-ground experiences, from both developed and developing countries in five continents, the book provides candid and practical lessons for policy-makers, donors, and water and development practitioners worldwide, looking at how IWRM principles were applied, what worked, and, equally important, what didn‘t work, and why.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water resource management is an integral part of any sustainable development scenario. It plays a critical role, both in environmental issues and development issues, but most of the time, development and environment have not been looked at in an integral way. It is suggested in this research, that watershed management, which involves managing land use, water resources, human activities, within a management unit of a watershed, is an important tool for sustainable development involving environmental and development issues and can be used effectively to develop policies for sustainable development in a holistic way. In this research, a framework has been built, wherein it is shown how technology like hydrological/water quality models can be used effectively within the limits of a watershed to develop policies for land use and water resources so as to lead to sustainable development. This research is an effort to further the ongoing discourse on sustainable development. Various existing concepts in the literature have been applied to develop this framework. In this framework, watershed sustainability has been defined. It is then quantified by defining social, environmental and biodiversity indicators. By providing weightage to these indicators, a watershed index is built. The watershed sustainability is then calculated based on the concepts of reliability, resilience and vulnerability. To implement this framework, the watershed for the case study has been selected from the southern Delaware region of the US. The watershed used is Millsboro Pond watershed, which is a part of the Inland Bays basin. Based on the watershed management principles, four land use scenarios have been created in GIS. The first scenario used is the existing land use. The second scenario has been based on the recharge potential of the watershed and the third and fourth scenarios have been built by also considering riparian buffer zones along with recharge potential. The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) has been used as a hydrology/ water quality model. The Millsboro Pond watershed is first modeled by using SWAT. This included calibrating and validating the model. The existing land use layer in the model is then replaced by the different scenarios of land uses and the model run for 50 years in future. The output from the SWAT is used to calculate watershed indicators and a watershed sustainability index for all the land use scenarios. Based on the results the land uses have been ranked for sustainability and policy implications have been discussed. The output from the model has also been used to suggest supply side and demand side management for the watershed.

This book was released on 2015-09-04 with total page 606 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main focus of this book is sustainable management of water resources in a changing climate. The book also addresses the question of how to define and measure the sustainability of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM). The sustainability of IWRM is an important issue when planning and/or developing policies that consider the impact of climate change, water governance and ecohydrology in the context of a more holistic approach to ensure sustainable management of water resources. Sustainable IWRM is more about processes, and relatively little systematic or rigorous work has been done to articulate what components are the most essential to ensure the ongoing sustainability of IWRM efforts. The chapters cover topics including global prospective of IWRM; allocation of environmental flows in IWRM; echohydrology, water resources and environmental sustainability; climate change and IWRM; IWRM and water governance including social, economic, public health and cultural aspects; climate change resiliency actions related to water resources management sustainability and tools in support of sustainability for IWRM. This book will be of interest to researchers, practitioners, water resources mangers, policy and decision makers, donors, international institutions, governmental and non-governmental organizations, educators, as well as graduate and undergraduate students. It is a useful reference for Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM), ecohydrology, climate change impact and adaptations, water governance, environmental flows, geographic information system and modeling tools, water and energy nexus and related topics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An integrated framework for water resources management It has been said that "water is the next oil." A strong global consensus has begun to develop that effective water management must start at the watershed level, and that water management actions must be taken in the context of watersheds, and the human communities in them. Integrated Watershed Management: Principles and Practice, Second Edition presents a flexible, integrated framework for watershed management that addresses the biophysical, social, and economic issues affecting water resources and their use. Comprehensive in scope and multidisciplinary in approach, it equips readers with the necessary tools and techniques to develop sound watershed management policy and practice—from problem definition and goal setting to selecting management strategies and procedures for monitoring implementation. Ten years of practice have demonstrated that the core concepts presented in the first edition of this book remain true and important. This Second Edition is fully updated to reflect current practice and recent experience in watershed management, including: New coverage of strategies for the selection and evaluation of public engagement processes Sampling, data management, and computer simulation technologies Recent legislative changes International watershed issues Many new case studies Water resources planning and management is not just a technical challenge; it is also a social challenge, and an opportunity. It is, ultimately, a framework for human societies to shape, protect, and improve the environment in which they live. Providing a rational framework for the development of water resources management strategies, Integrated Watershed Management, Second Edition is a one-stop resource for upper-level students and professionals in environmental science, natural resource management, and environmental engineering.
