IWRM- a coordinated and
participatory processbased on an
ongoing learning by doing process.
Created new possible aspect of
change for better management and
development of water and related
resources
Concepts for change: a step by stepapproach that creates a sense to
ownerships, transparency and shared
accountability among all stakeholders
for developing and improving the
existing system for more integrationof all sectors and different
stakeholders
National policies, strategies and legislations-
supporting to IWRM implementation:National Water Resources Policy (2004)
