Integrated Water Resources Management PDF Print E-mail

IWM has achieved a leading position within the field of integrated management of land and water resources, and provides comprehensive expertise together with a range of decision support tools to understand and simulate a variety of hydrological aspects ranging from broad-scale river basin issues to detailed hydrological and hydrodynamic investigations.  Projects often require integration of various aspects, such as conjunctive use of ground water and surface water, water quantity and quality, water uses, industrial water management and integration of the natural systems into human (political and institutional) systems. In the recent years IWM has contributed to development of scenarios, visions and actions within the so-called Vision and Framework for Action process through participation in Global Water Partnership and regional collaborations. This approach consists of a comprehensive set of analysis steps, supported by mathematical tools for the analysis of natural resource systems in a socio-economic context. Using this approach IWM supports water, river and floodplain managers worldwide in structuring complex decision-making processes and provide technical know-how for effective evaluation of planning alternatives. Information management systems, decision support systems and simulation models are important tools in this respect. Services would include:

·         Water resources assessment and management

·         Master planning and policy development

·         Water supply and demand assessment

·         River Basin management

·         Environmental impact analysis
