Water resources management in a river/lake basin context
Five cases of water resources management experiences in Bangladesh, China, Indonesia, Nepal and Thailand are briefly analysed, using a systems-oriented conceptual framework that emphasizes three important dimensions of management. Important water resources management problems or issues identified in the analyses include: (i) adverse social effects of relocation of people from reservoir areas; (ii) adverse reservoir sedimentation effects of upstream erosion; (iii) issues of allocation of scarce water resources among competing uses; and (iv) failures in implementing project plans. Suggestions are made for a new water resources management strategy for developing countries that would build on past experience to deal more effectively with these problems and issues.
