The problems afflicting the Aral Sea and its environs as a result
of the overuse and abuse of the rivers flowing into it are well
documented. Until now, however, it was difficult to hear the voices
of those responsible for actually managing those waters. This
volume reproduces the proceedings of an Advanced Research Workshop
held in Bishkek, which brought together all the most senior water
resource managers in Central Asia, from Ministers to local experts
and eminent academics. It describes, from the practitionera (TM)s
perspective, the problems encountered in the regiona (TM)s efforts
to implement integrated water resources management, and solutions
that have been put in place in order to address these.
The book sets out the approaches taken by each basin state, by
way of the institutional, legal and financial frameworks adopted by
them. It details the management practices that have been utilised
in order both to surmount potential inter-state conflicts arising
from water use disagreements and to make the best use of the
available water, and it provides practical examples demonstrating
how IWRM has been implemented at more local levels. Ultimately, it
conveys the strong spirit of collaboration that drives water
management in the five newly independent states.
