The concept of integrated water resources management has rapidly gained widespread it is important to clarify this concept so that it does not degenerate into an empty slogan. This important volume establishes the crucial relationship between the multiple uses of water resources on the one hand and food security and rural development on the other, and suggests innovative approaches and methodologies that can help resolve the deadlock in water resources development and management.
