• Ecological degradation (erosion,
deforestation)
• Flooding
• Drought
• Water contamination (mines, agro-chemicals)

Climate water- and food security
A minimum for drinking , cooking, washing 50 lts.
Minimum of 5 litres de
water/day
But, one person in the EEUU uses between 250 y 300 lts/day for
personal use and garden

One ha of wheat consumes between 5 y 16 millons lts (depending on climate and
tecnological level)
It is more:
1 bread = 40 lt.
1 yoghurt = 300 lt.
1 hamburger = 2,300 lt.

How many people are facing Food insecurity in Rwanda today?
1. Situation has improved since 2006
2. Currently: 1.9 million people live in
households that are either food insecure (0.4 million) or at risk of becoming food insecure (1.5 million) should one or more shocks occur

Climate change and human development
It is vital to increase focus on adaptation climate change
Poor families have developed creative
strategies to cope with climate change
However, the current rate of CC creates high risks and vulnerabilities.

Why IWRM?
Water is essential for socio-economic development
13Title
Future threats of high losses through
• Water insecurity
• More floods and erosion
• droughts

What is IWRM?
IWRM is a process which promotes the
coordinated development and
management of water, land and related
resources, in order to maximize the
resultant economic and social welfare in
an equitable manner without
compromising the sustainability of vital
ecosystems (GWP).

Integration of what?
Hydrological components: catchment, sources, surface and ground water, access, uses, distribution, quantity y quality.
Water soil and environment: processes of erosion, degradation, biodiversity.
Water-soil-ecosystem and socio- economic-cultural system: landuse planning, economic functions, other human activities.
Institutional integration. Dialogue between multiple actors, social arrangements, norms, conflict resolution, knowledge, and capacities.

Integrated water management
nice but …
A former employer said:
• “If you want a something not to be realized: you tell them it
should be more integral”
• “Integrality is nice for philosophic deliberations but not apt for
practical action”
![Page 20: Rwanda Water Partnership 25 April 2012 Water Resource Management in RwandaEverybody's business](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062312/5516f170550346f5558b4af5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
IWRM partial and IWRM complete
Complete IWRM
• Based in legislative and institutional reform and intersectoral
implementation (long term, political)
Partial IWRM
• Based on individual and institutional actions within the
catchment applying the WRM principles (practical, immediate)

SNV Experience Bolivia:
National Catchment Management Plan
• Catchment considered as living space.
• Implementation based on: action, research, learning.
• Promotion of water users organizations and regional platforms,
with horizontal and vertical linkages.
• Main challenge: political interference. Strong need for decision
framework with agreed rules and process steps.

SNV experience Zimbabwe:
set up catchment councils
• Catchment Councils to safeguard users’ equitable access to-
and sustainable management of fresh surface water and
groundwater resources.
• Joint analysis and planning of Water Resources Development
and Management.
• Main challenge: intercultural communication. How to manage
disparate users with different sub cultures and disparate
interest (large farmers, peasant communities, city, industry,
parks,)25Title

Hydrological space for the people of Rwanda • hydrographical
network (2km/km2)
• Two hydrographical basins: The Nile basin and the Congo basin

Rwanda WRM strategy: The Mission
• The mission of the Government in the management of water
resources is to ensure protection, conservation, restoration and
rational use of water resources to meet the country’s medium
and long term socio-economic development goals.

WRM strategy: The principles
28Title
• Water is a finite resource
• Water is human right
• Water resource is an economic good
• Water is a social good
• Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM)
• Participatory management
• Catchment-based water resources management
• Impacts of climate change on the water resource
• Internationally shared water resources
Economic value
Social value
Environmental value

And now IWRM actions!
• Awareness raising?
• Information gathering?
• Building water reservoirs?
• Forestry?
• Organization?
• Low carbon economy?

Lead questions
1. How to increase the participation and involvement of the
stakeholders in implementation of IWRM at all levels.
2. How to improve the coordination of the various interventions
national and local level.
3. How to enhance the resilience of our communities to water
stress and climate change.
