CHAPTER 3. POLICY, INSTITUTIONAL, AND REGULATORY FRAMEWORK
3.3. Basic Principles
Basic principles are the fundamental ideas that guide thinking or
behaviour. Along the recent decades, learning derived from successes and
failures in management of the environment and natural resources,
particularly water, have contributed to build a well documented set of
basic principles for sound management of water and other natural resources
and the protection of the environment, particularly aquatic ecosystems.
They constitute a rationale, founded on scientific knowledge, which,
according to generalized worldwide experience, guarantee a better approach
to the global objective of "sustainable management of water
resources, including the protection of aquatic ecosystems and freshwater
living resources".
