Solution: Integrated Water Resources Management

Also known as: Comprehensive

Watershed Management Integrated Coastal Area

Management Integrated River Basin

Management Integrated Catchment

SPHERE and WHO Context

SPHERE Water Supply Standard 2 calls for “promotion of protected sources.”

SPHERE Shelter and Settlement Standard 6 key indicator: “natural resources are managed to meet the ongoing needs of displaced and host populations.”

WHO Guidelines for Safe Recreational Waters promote “Integrated Coastal Area Management.”
