 The Water Resources and Environment Technical Note series provides information on how to apply environmental management principles to water resources management. The Notes are intended for use by those without specific training in water resources management, including engineers, economists, lawyers, sociologists, natural resources specialists, urban planners, environmental planners, and ecologists.
The Technical Note series supports the implementation of the World Bank 1993 Water Resources Management Policy, 2001 Environment Strategy, and 2003 Water Resources Sector Strategy, as well as the implementation of the Bank’s safeguard policies. They are based on the premise that investments in a country's water resources need to find a balance between promoting development and maintaining a functioning environment. Such a balance will help ensure that the investments are sustainable in the long term. The Notes are in five categories: environmental flow assessment; water quality management; irrigation and drainage; water conservation (demand management); and waterbody management. |
