A resource developed by the Global Water Partnership. The site offers resources aimed at water industry professionals and policy makers grouped under three headings:
- The enabling environment or rules of the game created by legislation, policy and financing structures.
- Institutional roles of resource managers, service providers, irrigation agencies, utilities, river basin authorities, regulators and other water sector stakeholders. Capacity building supports the functions required for these roles.
- Management instruments – water resources assessment, demand management, public information and education, conflict resolution, regulatory devices, economic measures and information and communications.
Within these elements, the ToolBox offers a compendium of policies and actions or tools for putting IWRM into practice. Each tool is illustrated by case studies, which give examples of how a tool has worked in a given combination and context. Professionals are invited to submit new information in the form of case studies or references.
