Guidelines for the Integrated Management of
the Watershed
-Phytotechnology and Ecohydrology -

Freshwater
resources such as rivers, lakes, reservoirs and wetlands are suffering from
various problems amongst them pollution originated from point and non-point
sources; shore erosion and habitat lose due to construction and other unsustainable
human activities and unsustainable practices. To stop and advert this trend
there is a need to develop proper planning and management approaches within
the context of Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM). Integrated Water
Resource Management as defined by the Global Water Partnership (GWP) is a process
that considers the co-ordination of development and management of water, land
and related resources to enhance economic and social welfare without jeopardizing
the sustainability of the ecosystem. Ecohydrology together with the application
of Phytotechnologies consider the basic principles of IWRM in the way they
are practice.
