Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRW) has made significant strides since its definition following the Rio Conference on Sustainable Development. Part of Sustainable Development Goal 6, the implementation of IWRM is foreseen globally by 2030. Initially, planning water resources in an integrated manner was the focus of most projects/programmes; hence, nowadays most of the efforts are targeted towards its implementation with practical implications for the nations and their populations.

Integrated water resources management is a long-standing paradigm that needs to be reaffirmed and strengthened in light of current environmental changes and new development priorities at the international level.

Further, the analysis of pathways taken so far helps to understand why some goals have not been achieved and what role the different levels of governance play in the transition to sustainable development.
