Implementing Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM): based on Thailand’s experience

The objective of this paper is to provide an overview of how IWRM was implemented in Thailand and to suggest some useful steps that may be considered by other countries in adopting and adapting IWRM to their respective contexts. It should be cautioned that there is no blue print for IWRM that will suit all countries, and that each country has to develop and adjust a particular approach that suits the political, social-economic and cultural conditions of the country. Relates to the Mekong Water Dialogues.
