Abstract

Water crisis has been ranked amongst the top 10 global challenges with estimates predicting up to a 40 percent fall in freshwater resources by 2030. On top of that, water demand has far outpaced current population growth and experiencing water scarcity due to rising average global temperatures exacerbated by climate change. Hence, the environmental and sustainable management of water resources is a global imperative, and Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) has emerged as a key paradigm to address the multifaceted challenges associated with water management. This chapter discusses the dynamic interplay between IWRM and environmental governance through capacity developments emphasising their pivotal roles in promoting sustainable water resource management. In terms of the governance process, it is only possible to promote and apply IWRM through a well-defined policy for capacity development, ensuring transparency and accountability in water management and addressing inequality, gender biasness supported by available tools under Global Water Partnership (GWP).
