Introdution of GWP

• 

  GWP was founded in 1996 to foster integrated water resources management (IWRM) which is defined as the coordinated development and management of water, land, and related resources in order to maximise economic and social welfare without compromising the sustainability of vital environmental systems

• 

  A water secure world is vital for a better future: a future in which there is enough water to support social development, sustainable and inclusive growth, and ecosystems

• 

  GWP will support countries to realise our vision by helping them to advance their governance and management of water resources for sustainable and equitable development
