Preface: A New Horizon of Sustainable Water Management
The concept of integrated water resources management (IWRM) has existed for more than 70 years, but the approach was criticized by water scientists before it was completed. International organizations such as the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the World Water Council (WWC) presented new methods and additional factors related to the new direction of IWRM at the 7th World Water Forum (WWF7) in Korea. This book examines current concepts, methodology, and water management practices and introduces the new IWRM paradigm. Three important visions will be discussed: 1. A “theory” vision that presents a new horizon for IWRM; 2. A “social implementation” vision that includes the design of local water resources management frameworks and IWRM practices (the “Designing Local Frameworks for Integrated Water Resources Management” Project of the Research Institute for Humanity and Nature, Japan); 3. A “harmony between science and society” vision that promotes a new waterrecycling system featuring reclamation and
