The
WaterBase project is an
ongoing project of the United Nations University. Its aim is
to advance the practice of Integrated Water Resources
Management (IWRM) in developing countries.<click here to

Predictive modelling and decision support for water
management, while essential to implementing IWRM, are often
hampered by a number of challenges in developing countries.
These include a number of inter-related problems: lack of money, lack of expertise,
inadequate training capacity, dependence on experts from
other countries. At the same time, water resources are being
placed under
increasing pressure. Therefore, adequate IWRM and
decision-making tools are critical to ensure that water
managers duly consider the
consequences of decisions before they are made.
The WaterBase project aims to provide:
 | A set of tools for
modelling and decision support. |
| A collection of IWRM
resources: web sites, tools, literature, and training
materials. |
| A community of partners
who can provide advice, support, contribute to tools and
resources.
