Case Studies and Success Stories in IWRM

This page contains links to a collection of both success stories and case studies intended to relay information on the implementation of integrated water resources management (IWRM).

Women gather seaweed in Mtwara, Tanzania, using improved harvesting techniques, thanks to a collaborative effort by USAID and the Government of Tanzania.

Shared information on successful experiences, past and present, can encourage similar successes in other settings globally.

In its case studies, the USAID Agency Water Team documented its experiences with implementing IWRM practices through a series of case studies contributed to the Global Water Partnership ToolBox. The ToolBox provides water management professionals examples of experiences and synthesizes lessons learned from on-the-ground examples. Visit the Global Water Partnership website for a description of these tools. The ToolBox and associated case studies were highlighted at the Third World Water Forum in Japan in March 2003.
