ABSTRACT
Varying contexts of challenges have been reported thus far in the implementation of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) which are primarily in setting up the necessary laws and regulations to enforce the IWRM policy; institutions to facilitate coordination between sectors; and practical management instruments as a set of practical instruments for water resources planning and management. Consequently, the IWRM implementation process has faced critical challenges over the past decade in terms of the enabling environment and institutional framework elements. Varying contexts of challenges have been reported thus far in the implementation of IWRM which are primarily in setting up the necessary laws and regulations to enforce the IWRM policy; institutions to facilitate coordination between sectors; and practical management instruments as a set of practical instruments for water resources planning and management. IWRM principles foster more efficient and equitable use of water resources in order to achieve sustainable development goals.
