Successful Practices in Water Resource Management in Latin America: Delivering Multiple Benefits
With growing competition over limited water resources, governments have begun to accept the concept of integrated resource management as a fundamental approach to resource allocation issues, steering away from traditional sectoral approaches.
The objective of this event is to share lessons learned through experiences in Latin America with “Water Funds” and “Water Committees”. The Nature Conservancy and ACRA — the Association for Rural Cooperation in Africa and Latin America — will demonstrate how these new approaches provide models to other regions to explore the potential and feasibility of promoting active participation in water management.
The event will include discussion on how conservation actions through involvement of water users can be applied in both urban and rural areas and bring about real benefits to people and nature. The audience will be encouraged to share their experiences and insight in improving water management through similar approaches and foster a discussion of the lessons learned.
