Integrated Natural Resources Management:
Approach
• Means of safeguarding natural resources, and to improve
productivity
• Efforts should focus on bringing the INRM approach into
operation and on generating understanding by observation
• Long management of all resources, at all levels
• The demand for INRM at local level should be integrated with
means of enhancing livelihood
Continue….
• Tailored to local conditions
• Site-specific causes of the problems facing people and the
environment
• To integrate several disciplines and involve different
stakeholders operating in their own sub-systems across
different spatial and temporal scales
• The key to management in the interaction of humans with each
other and with their natural environment

Why IWRM Plan?
Benefits or Advantages
• Places emphasis on integrated approaches with more coordinated
decision making
• Equity in allocation of water across different social and economic
groups
• Environmental sustainability to protect water resources and
associated ecosystems
Dublin Principles
A guide to IWRM Plan
I. Fresh water is a finite and vulnerable
resource, essential to sustain life,
development and the environment
II. Water development and
management should be based on a
participatory approach, involving
users, planners and policy-makers at all
levels
III.Women play a central part in the
provision, management and
The Dimensions of IWRM

Water Harvesting
structures
2. Crop Management
• Efficient Irrigation using water saving techniques
• Soil health maintenance through crop rotation
• Reduction in crop failure through crop diversification
• Line sowing to increase crop productivity
3. Livelihood Management
• Raising awareness on climate change – causes, impacts and
mitigation of extreme events
• Building health and education infrastructures
• Promoting off farm and non-farm occupations (e.g. livestock
and poultry rearing, pisciculture, handicrafts)
• Increasing community networks and social interaction
amongst the villagers
• Facilitate micro-financing support
• Practicing fishery in suitable water bodies as a livelihood
