Better water management
Improved management will solve the world's fresh water problem.
Meeting the water challenges in any country for the future will require a nationally formulated approach with a clearly defined strategy and hierarchy of objectives. This approach involves formulating a strategic goal, as well as setting out purposes to contribute to that goal. To satisfy the goal, it should be recognised that other sectors must provide tangible benefits which contribute to the improvement of the public living standards.
The national goal can be defined as “to improve significantly the living condition of the people in a sustainable manner”. Water resources strategy outputs can contribute to this overall goal through the realisation of a preparation period, a short-term goal and a long-term goal. These can be defined as follows:
• Preparation period: The devising of a comprehensive water resources strategy supported and managed by capable institutions, which provides tangible benefits to people in line with the fulfilment of basic needs.
• Short-term goal: The implementation of a comprehensive water resources strategy, providing substantial benefits to people in fulfilment of their basic needs as well realisation of other benefits of water use in a sustainable manner.
• Long-term goal: The maximisation of the sustainable benefits of water use in the country.
