Fresh water is a finite and vulnerable resource
Water development and management should be based on a participatory approach
Women play a central part in the provision, management and safeguarding of water
Water has an economic value in all its competing uses

Big Question?Big Question?
How can Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) present a conceptual framework and methodology through which to facilitate effective feedback and adaptive management responses to water reform processes aimed at integrated economic, environmental and community outcomes?

Application of IWRM in the Study Areas
Application of IWRM in the Study Areas
Assess the goals of IWRM and compare with water resources management (WRM) in case study areas to see how WRM might be improved.
Assess what the promise of IWRM is for case study areas in terms of processes aimed at integrated economic, social and community outcomes.

ApproachApproach
The theoretical aspects
Develop an improved IWRM framework for planning processes with practical tools.
Test the proposed methodology across two very different community settings: Australia (Shepperton Irrigation Region) and Ghana (Savlugu –Nantom Irrigation Region)

Expected OutcomesExpected Outcomes
The compare and contrast approach should thus reveal both generalisable and location-specific elements of the IWRM planning processes.
Lessons and best practices from these case studies will inform articulation of an ideal framework that can be used to implement GWP/IWRM agenda.
Tools and processes developed in this study might lead to improved capacities for communities and other stakeholders to respond proactively to change
