There is a growing international community of scholars who work on the integrated river basin management (IRBM) as a sub-set of the integrated water resources management (IWRM) at different scales. The Langat River Basin (LRB) is one of the main river basins in Malaysia where implementation of IWRM is a challenging task to attain sustainable development. IWRM is defined as a process to promote the coordinated development and management of water and related resources, in order to maximize the resultant economic and social welfare in an equitable manner without compromising the sustainability of vital ecosystems. This book has been redacted from the thesis work on IRBM implementation in Langat River Basin of Malaysia. Mr. Hossain has conducted this research under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Mazlin Bin Mokhtar and Associate Prof. Dr. Mohd Ekhwan Hj. Toriman. Institutional Analysis and Development (IAD) Framework has been used to analyze institution. Remote sensing and GIS techniques are utilized for the preparation of land use map of study area. Opinion survey was conducted and interpreted for policy forecast by utilizing regression model analysis.
Governing Integrated Water Resources Management
Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) has become a global paradigm for the governance of surface, coastal and groundwaters. This Special Issue contains twelve articles related to the transfer of IWRM policy principles. The articles explore three dimensions of transfer—causes, processes, outcomes—and offer a theoretically inspiring, methodologically rich and geographically diverse engagement with IWRM policy transfer around the globe. As such, they can also productively inform a future research agenda on the ‘dimensional’ aspects of IWRM governance. Regarding the causes, the contributions apply, criticise, extend or revise existing approaches to policy transfer in a water governance context, asking why countries adopt IWRM principles and what mechanisms are in place to understand the adoption of these principles in regional or national contexts. When it comes to processes, articles in this Special Issue unpack the process of policy transfer and implementation and explore how IWRM principles travel across borders, levels and scales. Finally, this set of papers looks into the outcomes of IWRM policy transfer and asks what impact IWRM principles, once implemented, gave on domestic water governance, water quality and water supply, and how effective IWRM is at addressing critical water issues in specific countries.
Integrated Water Resources Management: Concept, Research and Implementation
This book reviews the concept, contemporary research efforts and the implementation of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM). The IWRM concept was established as an international guiding water management paradigm in the early 1990ies and has become a vital approach to solving the problems associated with the topic of water. The book summarizes fourteen comprehensive IWRM research projects with worldwide coverage and analyses their motivations, settings, approaches and implementation of results. Aiming to be an up-to-date interdisciplinary scientific reference, this book provides a comprehensive theoretical and empirical analysis of contemporary IWRM research, examples of science based implementations and a synthesis of the lessons learnt. It concludes with some major future challenges, the solving of which will further strengthen the IWRM concept.
