The
challenge to conventional practices
The case for IWRM is strong – many would say uncontestable.
The problem for most countries is the long history of unisectoral
development.

As
the Global Water Partnership puts it:
“IWRM is a challenge to conventional practices, attitudes
and professional certainties. It confronts entrenched sectoral
interests and requires that the water resource is managed
holistically for the benefits of all. No one pretends that
meeting the IWRM challenge will be easy but it is vital
that a start is made now to avert the burgeoning crisis.”
