Sum of our Experiences in Promoting IWRM

Introducing a new paradigm in

water resources management is

a very challenging venture.

Identifying and cultivating

champions for change among

people with encrusted traditional

management systems will needa long and arduous task of

capacity building.

Examples of even relative

success stories can help

overcome adamant attitudes

and prejudices.
