The Technical Committee of the Global Water Partnership (GWP) defines Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) as a process which promotes the coordinated development and management of water, land and related resources in order to maximise economic and social welfare in an equitable manner without compromising the sustainability of vital ecosystems and the environment.

This handbook articulates the links between pressures and IWRM responses. Drawing on many experiences around the world, it provides practical guidance for improving the governance of freshwater resources through effective application of the IWRM approach in lakes, river basins, and aquifers. This Handbook was produced jointly by GWP and the International Network of Basin Organizations (INBO) in order to capture experiences with planning and implementing IWRM.
