Integrated Water Resource Planning provides practical,
evidence-based guidance on water resource planning. In a time of
heightened awareness of ecosystem needs, climate change, and
increasing and conflicting demands on resources, water
professionals and decision-makers around the world are on a steep
learning curve. This book presents an international examination of
water reform experiences, and provides lessons in how to manage
environmental uncertainties, long term management, and increase in
demand. It breaks the process down into a series of common steps,
applies program logic and evaluation theory, and discusses best
practices in assessment, decision making and community engagement.
Importantly it recognises the large variation in available
knowledge and capacity, risk and scale, and discusses a range of
approaches that can be used for different circumstances. The book
will fill in the gaps for professionals in interdisciplinary teams
including sociologists, hydrologists, engineers, ecologists, and
community consultation specialists, by providing a basic grounding
in areas outside their usual expertise, and will provide ammunition
to community stakeholders in their quest to ensure that water
planning outcomes are justified and justifiable. Case studies
provide an understanding of the context, practical tools and
implementation techniques for achieving sustainable outcomes, and
the multi-disciplinary approach and insights offered in this book
will be transposable and instructive for water professionals
worldwide.
