TOOLS: INDIVIDUAL POLICIES AND GUIDELINES ON IWRM
Altogether close to 50 different tools are presented in the ToolBox. Structurally, the ToolBox is organised in a hierachial manner with each tool embedded in the wider perspective of IWRM. The characteristics of each tool are described in the ToolBox to allow the user to select a suitable mix and sequence of tools that would work in a given country, context and situation. The problems faced by water managers are many and diverse, as are the political, social and economic conditions, so no blueprint for the application of IWRM can be given. The ToolBox textbook can also be downloaded as a pdf file.
CASES: EXAMPLES OF PRACTICAL IMPLEMENTATION OF IWRM
The Tools are illustrated by real case experience. The cases have been submitted by professionals from all over the world and offer realistic lessons for others by giving examples of how a tool has worked in a given combination and context. Cases are at varying levels of detail and include references to sources of further information. Case studies are peer reviewed through the GWP network.
