Published: 2013
Abstract
Water cooperation Shared riverS initiative: Supporting the wise use of southern africa’ s waters Over the past decades, integrated water resource management (IWRM) has gained prominence as a powerful water management concept. It is an idea that promotes the equitable and sustainable management of a catchment by all who live and share its waters. A closer look at a current research programme aimed at testing IWRM in practice reveals that implementation is much more complex than initially thought. The Letaba River is one of the study rivers in the Shared Rivers Initiative.
