Integrated Water Resources Management in Venezuela

Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) in Venezuela constitutes a framework for the coordinated, cost-effective, and sustainable management of water and other related natural resources. It shows significant advances in legal frameworks, infrastructure, and access to drinking water, although with important challenges in sanitation and water security. It seeks to promote citizen participation through mechanisms such as water technical committees, while promoting the country's social and economic development. It highlights the need to strengthen coordination between public institutions, regional governments, communities, universities, and the private sector to guarantee the conservation of the resource and its sustainable use.
