IWRM In Practice: Lessons From Canadian Experiences
نویسنده
چکیده
In Canada, IWRM has evolved from comprehensive river basin management in the 1940s, as an explicit way to integrate economic, social and environmental considerations, to incorporate the perspectives of stakeholders.

In this article, highlights from Canadian experience are provided, based on a review of international experience with IWRM to be published by the World Meteorological Organization in 2007 (Mitchell, in press).
