Setting the Stage for Change: Second Informal Survey by the GWP Network giving the Status of the 2005 WSSD Target on National Integrated Water Resources Management and Water Efficiency Plans

Abstract

"The survey shows that the need for better water management is now better understood and prominent in national thinking. While it shows a growing degree of seriousness about setting national strategies and plans, there are only occasional comments related to progress in actually implementing the elements of an IWRM approach. In this sense, the survey provides a stepping stone for more thorough assessment of the implementation of improved water resource management in the future."
