Abstract

Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) has emerged as a key approach for achieving sustainable water management worldwide. This research focuses on applying the IWRM framework in the context of the Fouka Basin, a region known for its complex water resource dynamics and diverse socio-environmental challenges. The study aims to assess the effectiveness of IWRM as a tool for sustainable water management in the Fouka Basin, and to contribute to the broader knowledge base on IWRM and its potential to achieve sustainable water management, providing guidance for policymakers, water managers, and stakeholders involved in water resource planning and management in the Fouka Basin and similar regions worldwide. The research examines the application of IWRM principles in the basin. It assesses the integration of various water-related sectors, such as agriculture, industry, and domestic use, and evaluates the effectiveness of coordination mechanisms among stakeholders, including government agencies, local communities, and non-governmental organizations. Based on the assessment findings, the research develops a IWRM plan that outlines strategies and actions for sustainable water management in the Fouka Basin. The plan addresses issues such as water allocation, water conservation measures, and stakeholder engagement.
