Abstract
Water management is akin to conflict management among human beings and
between human beings and their environment. Water and river basin
management systems are created to avoid, prevent or resolve such
conflicts. Humankind needs to learn to live with these conflicts and
deal with them adequately. All the more so since the relative scarcity
of water will become ever more pressing as time goes on, as a result of
economic growth, social demands and climate change. Competition between
users will become ever more intense and ruthless, so that legislation
and institutions to manage the system satisfactorily will become an
absolute necessity. To implement processes of integrated water and river
basin management it is necessary to form alliances or agreements with
many actors who normally act independently by sector, and in areas
defined according to administrative and political criteria which do not
coincide with the limits of the river basins. It is often difficult to
co-ordinate these actors in Latin American and Caribbean countries due
to the existence of a vast informal sector of the population which
neither complies with the legal norms nor responds to the economic
instruments that are used in the countries more advanced in their
organizations for water resources management and use.
River basin management and the creation and operation of organizations
for water resources management at the river basin level is one of the
central areas of work, both in terms of policy-oriented research and
technical advisory activities, of the Natural Resources and
Infrastructure Division of the Economic Commission for Latin America and
the Caribbean (ECLAC). These technical advisory activities and
policy-oriented research have resulted in many studies on various
aspects of river basin management and the creation and operation of
river basin organizations, but most of them are available only in
Spanish. The objective of this publication is to make a summary of this
research available in English.
