Course Learning Objectives
Water is humanity's most precious resource - a social good as well as an economic good - and the protection and sustainability of the world's water resources is among the most pressing issues facing governments and communities today, particularly so in the water scarce areas of the Middle East. Traditional water management practices have led to gross reduction in available ground water supplies, pollution of fresh water sources, and intra and inter-community disputes. A different approach to planning and managing water resources is required to ensure continued economic growth, healthy communities, and poverty alleviation in rich and poor countries alike.

To better prepare officials at all levels of government to design, plan, and implement integrated water resources management programs, IP3 has designed a course titled, Fundamentals of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM). The course focuses on the key elements of water planning and management, including the rationale and objectives of IWRM, the planning and processes of a program at all government levels, administrative/organizational decentralization, and stakeholder participation.

Through presentations, case studies, role-playing, simulated exercises, and on-site meetings with IWRM experts and practitioners, participants will learn to develop their own water resources management Action Plan for programs at the national (ministerial), governorate, and municipal levels.
