As a political, economic and cultural center of the Tibet Autonomous Region, the Lhasa River needs to take planning and management of the basin. In the past 60 years, the temperature of Lhasa River Basin has been increasing gradually at an annual rate of 0.047 ° C, which leads to the water cycle variation of the river basin and its associated aquatic ecology and environment continue to change and evolve, and ecological environmental protection is affected by more uncertain factors. Based on the assessment of the ecological environment of the Lhasa River Basin, the comprehensive planning suggestions for the Lhasa River Basin were proposed from the aspects of water environment, land use, ecological pattern, and economic and social development. These suggestions are drawn on the examples of integrated planning and management of catchment in foreign countries and are referred to as the comprehensive planning of the seven major river basins in China.

In order to promote good water governance practices, harmonize multiple objectives, and reflect the linkages between environmental, socioeconomic and politico-administrative aspects, it is imperative to define appropriate regions for water resources planning and management. The Water Resources Planning and Management Decision Support System (WARPLAM DSS) is presented here as a tool to support the definition of suitable limits for water resources regions. Although river basins are generally considered the most suitable regions to achieve Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) goals, WARPLAM DSS facilitates the analysis of politico-administrative, historic-cultural, socioeconomic, and physical-environmental aspects. This paper summarizes an initiative to define integrated water resources regions for the establishment of River Basin Committees (RBCs) in Peru, based on a comprehensive analysis of the Peruvian territory. The study was developed through a partnership between ANA-Peru and ANA-Brazil, with the cooperation of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB). The results simulated in this attempt anticipate a more harmonized division of Peru's territory into water resources regions. Such an approach aims to establish more robust RBCs and to increase the chances of attaining IWRM goals.
