Human rights-based approach to integrated water resources management [1]

This manual brings together two fields that, until recently, have been separate: human rights and IWRM. These two fields have been brought together as awareness has grown within the human rights community that water management is fundamental to the realization of a range of human rights. Similarly, water-management practitioners have become increasingly aware of the crucial importance of water in key human rights domains,such as the right to life, the right to health, the right to food and the right
to a healthy environment. Water is a resource that is essential to life itself, to all forms of economic production, to many forms of social interaction, to many cultural activities and to the maintenance of ecosystems.
