Integrated water resource management has been discussed since at
least the Civil War; yet, there is still no integrated framework
for sustainably managing water. Recognizing this need, the Water
Environment Research Foundation (WERF) funded a research project to
develop an integrated, conceptual framework for sustainable water
resources management. Through WERF funding, this framework was
developed over the past four years. Development of the framework
was guided by the U.N. Agenda 21, Global Water Partnership, the
Enlibra Principles, and Panarchy Theory. The conceptual framework
for Sustainable Water Resources Management considers water as a
renewable, but finite resource with global and regional
constraints. It integrates ecological, economic, and social
considerations through institutional and legal/regulatory
constructs to move toward sustainable water resources.
Implementation of the framework is guided by a process flow chart
that considers both crisis management and proactive management
activities. Sustainability is as much an outcome as a goal. If
water resources are viewed within a total systems context and
monitored, assessed and adaptively managed through time,
sustainable water resources are the outcome.
