IWRM

Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) is a comprehensive approach to managing water resources in a way that considers the connections between water, land, and ecosystems. Instead of handling water supply, agriculture, and environmental protection separately, IWRM brings them together under one coordinated system to ensure sustainability and efficiency.
