International Course on Integrated Water Resource Management and
the Role of Drainage
To be effective and to ensure equitability between the various
water users while safeguarding vital ecosystems, the planning, development
and management of drainage (and irrigation) systems should occur
within a broader framework of water management. In the 3-weeks course
module “Drainage in the context of IWRM” the scope of drainage and
irrigation within the currently widely adopted paradigm “Integrated
Water Resources Management” will be addressed. The various implications
of IWRM for agricultural water management will be presented and
participants will learn to put their daily land and water issues
in the perspective of IWRM. They will also learn to apply some practical
tools in IWRM, such as Remote Sensing techniques, Geographical Information
Systems and (optional) integrated water assessment models or regional
salt assessment models.
Aims
After the module the participant will:
- Understand the concept of IWRM and its legal, institutional,
managerial and technical implications
- Understand the role of drainage in IWRM
- Be familiar with the principles and applications of important
tools in IWRM, such as Remote Sensing and Geographical Information
Systems
- Be able to apply assessment methods for water uses and water
resources
- Be fully aware that land and water interventions have repercussions
on the entire water chain and that water uses are interdependent
- Have commitment to involve stakeholders in the planning of any
land and water interventions
- Be able to relate the broader scope of integrated water resources
management in day-to-day work
