This volume outlines the process of formulating a water resources management strategy. It is intended for decisionmakers in developing countries. The process outlined in this volume incorporates the elements of comprehensive or 'holistic' water resources management that have been endorsed by numerous international conferences. These elements include: (1) institutional and human resources issues (including laws, regulations, and organizations), (2) the development of adequate information systems, (3) the participation of those concerned with or having an interest in water resources--'stakeholders'--in the strategy formulation process, (4) the use of economic principles (including cost-recovery) in water resources management, (5) consideration of the environmental and public health aspects of water resources management, and (6) working with other countries or regions to manage international resources successfully.
