Integrated Water Resources Management in Pacific Island Countries: A Synopsis
The Pacific IWRM Synopsis contains on overview of Small Island Developing States’ water issues and the application of IWRM in Pacific SIDS, through the GEF-funded demonstrations.
In order to demonstrate the credibility of IWRM to the global audience it is important to have examples of IWRM success as soon as possible. Achieving IWRM success quickly is most likely to be accomplished where the hydrological systems (catchments and aquifers) are small and as a result limited water and land management changes can have a catchment wide impact, and the catchments will respond to these changes rapidly. Small Island Developing States provide the ideal hydrological environment for demonstrating IWRM approaches and achieving tangible and quantifiable benefits. SIDS IWRM success can be a powerful catalyst to IWRM implementation worldwide.
