Therefore, this research should focus on the process of the decision making by the stakeholders to collaborate with their community-based organizations to make decisions about water resources management strategies. Because of, the stakeholder participation is a key point of the IWRM approach. The empowered community has responsibility to address local issues

According to the Greek philosopher Pindar, the best of all things is water. This view is notsurprising since the need for water, throughout human history, has always been appreciated. It is present everywhere, and without water, life, as it is known, will simply cease to exist. Water is constantly in motion, passing from one state to another and fromone location to another. Whether the water is in motion, or stationary as it is in lakes, itinvariably contains extraneous materials, some due to natural
Water resource is an essential for human activities which is a key driver of economic and social development about agricultural, industrial, energy, tourism, and maintain for the ecosystem. Moreover, the water issue is related with natural resource that affected to water resources management. Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) is one of the methods that can be applied for solving the problems of water resources. This concept was adopted in water resource management and planning which is
“Water resources management is the process of decision-making on assessment, allocation, use, regulation, monitoring and development of surface and underground water sources” (based on EC, 1998). Water is known as the one of the most important substances on earth. All plants and animals require water to survive. There would be no life on earth if there was no water. People have many more other uses for water other then drinking it to survive. As the water is the most influential substance on earth
as underground water pollution, methane gas emission, air pollution, exploration of new landfill site and other human health problems due to the increasing of waste generation. Unfortunately, simple expedient solutions are no longer sufficient to solve the disposal problems as society becomes more advanced. Any non-hazardous or solid waste from combination of commercial, industrial and domestic waste can be defined as municipal solid
All of the water on the planet is technically recycled water. In a closed system like Earth, the water coming out of our tap has probably been through the water cycle tens of thousands of times. However, the water sent out by our utilities is always cleaned up to drinking water standards in water treatment plants prior to distribution [17]. This same drinking-quality water is used for many purposes beyond drinking, including lawn and landscape irrigation, toilet-flushing, and industrial processes
the granting by the states and local communities of the management of the water service, that is of the aqueducts or springs. This approach is known as "public-private partnership" and started from the second World Water Forum (Hague 2000) organized by the World Water Council and the Global Water Partnership which, together with this partner approach, launched a series of measures: integrated management of the resource; the tariff of water services based on the principle of total cost coverage (full-cost
According to the first United Nations conference on human environment in Stockholm in 1972, environmental conservation is a global concern (UNEP, 1972). The Conference highlighted the importance of relating environment to development. Later, the legitimacy of this issues were formalized at a United Nations conference on environment and development (UNCED) held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 (UNCED, 1992). The conference was convened in order to discuss on the way forward in tackling this crisis. This
Introduction "Save water save life" The Indian subcontinent has a great diversity of geological, topographical and climatic conditions. The general climate is tropical and subtropical barring some of the northern most areas. The Western Ghats and north eastern part of the country receive the maximum rainfall in a year. The diurnal and seasonal temperature is also variable. [Extremes of hot and cold seasons are experienced in northern
