| الوصف: | IntroductionDespite increases in awareness of integrated water resources management (IWRM) and anumber of studies that focus on the concept there still exist few in-depth scientific studieson the rationale behind the principles and concepts. Moreover, as Gooch and Stalnacke(2006) have pointed out, IWRM definitions and concepts, which focus on and influencethinking about sustainability, do not provide us with much indication of how this proposedco-ordination, balancing and integration is to be achieved in practice.This special issue of Irrigation and Drainage Systems is dedicated to the topic of IWRM.The nine papers included here provide overviews of the subject, address key sets of selectedkey challenges in IWRM, provide new data, and, most importantly, give food for thoughtaround IWRM as a contemporary issue. In the following sections of this introduction, thenine articles in this special issue are summarized and placed into an overall context. Each ofthe articles contributes to a greater understanding of IWRM in different ways. Finally, someoverall conclusions in the form of concluding remarks are provided. Hopefully this specialissue will help to ‘open up’ the ‘IWRM-box’. We also hope that the articles will inspirefurther interest and research into the topic that will then provide further support in the local,regional, national, transnational and global management arenas and in academic institutes.In addition, this special issue complements two closely related new textbooks on waterresources management (Gooch and Stalnacke 2010; Gooch et al. 2010). |
