  1. National IWRM plans; links with Water Supply and Sanitation Palle Lindgaard Jørgensen Technical Secretariat Yerevan, 13 December 2006

  2. IWRM is a framework for rational and sustainable: • development of (infrastructure) and management • resource management and service delivery • and “water efficiency” is an integral element

  3. Cross-sectoral integration • Enabling environment • Institutions • Management • instruments Water for people Water for food Water for nature Water for other uses Managing competing uses

  4. Water supply and sanitation improved (MDG Goal 7, targets 10 and 11 being met) Examples of linkages between implementation of IWRM and delivery of water supply and sanitation services in a city BANG!! Environmental flow ensured => Salinity intrusion under control Municipal wastewater standards enforced Urban sewer systems installed => Urban water pollution reduced Industrial water quality standards enforced Polluter-pays principle in enforced => industrial water pollution controlled Use of agro-chemical regulated => Agricultural water pollution controlled (surface- and groundwater) Reservoir releases negotiated with city: =>Max. flood releases ensured =>Min dry season flows ensured Deforestation halted Watershed management practiced => Soil erosion under control BANG! Groundwater extractions regulated => Groundwater levels stabilized Water resources policy and law adopted and enforced => incl. policy and legal framework for water supply and sanitation => incl. financing mechanisms and tariff system for water and sanitation River basin planning and management structures in place Water allocation and water right systems in place Climate adaptation measures being introduced => incl. measures to adapt to extreme events (floods and droughts) Integrated Water Resources Management being implemented

  5. IWRM planning: A cyclic process! Vision Situation analysis Monitoring Awareness Participation Commitment Capacity Strategy Implementation IWRM Plan

  6. National IWRM Plans • IWRM 2005 Plans - adopted at the WSSD in 2002 • Globally 25% of all coutries have progressed well, 50% have made some progress, 25 little of no progress (4th WWF Mexico 2006) • Armenia has progressed well, however more needs to be done in implementation (Water Policy, Water code, National Water Programme)

  7. IWRM –WSS what are the links • Water supply and sanitation is in most countries considered as a ”sectoral water service” just like irrigation, hydropower etc. • IWRM provides a necessary framework for the sectoral water services for water resources: policies and legislation, monitoring, planning and allocation, use permits, compliance and enforcement, financial management • IWRM plans are the plans to establish the framework

  8. IWRM –importance for water supply and sanitation • Water management policies, laws also comprise water use for drinking water and discarge of waste water • Water quality standards as part of the legislation • Standards for pollution discarge • Monitoring of surface and groundwater and source water quality

  9. IWRM; Importance for water supply and sanitation • Planning and allocation in river basins- securing water quantity and quality, land use planning • Water permits- rules and procedures for abstraction for drinking water and discarge of waste water • Compliance and enforcement (water supply and sanitation sector service)

  10. IWRM; Importance for water supply and sanitation • Protection of drinking water sources • Prioritization of capital investments in river basins • Financing of IWRM, financing mechanisms and integration into national budget system • User pay systems- cost recovery

  11. Financial analysis of IWRM • Costs functions: Institutional framework including capacity building; • investments and O&M in water resources infrastucture (channels, weirs, monitoring equipment, laboratories) sector water service infrastructure (part of infrastructure to be covered by WRM) • Income functions: Water use permits, fees and fines; national budgets, donor and loans

  12. EconomicEfficiency EnvironmentalSustainability Equity • Management Instruments • Assessment • Information • Allocation Instruments • EnablingEnvironment • Policies • Legislation • InstitutionalFramework • Central - Local • River Basin • Public - Private Balance “water for livelihood” and “water as a resource” IWRM:Managing water for society
