Water Security: Putting the Concept into Practice

This paper explores the concept of water security, its relation to IWRM, as well as possible ways to quantify water security. It suggests two approaches: the developmental approach, seeking to increase water security over time; and the risk-based approach, focussing on managing risks and reducing vulnerabilities resulting from climate variability and water-related disasters. This is a Technical Background Paper, written by the GWP Technical Committee, a group of internationally recognised professionals in integrated water resources management.
