Water management planning : handbook for facilitators

Abstract

This handbook has been developed to complement the work done as part of the USAID Enhance Climate Resiliency and Water Security in the Maldives (Maldives GCC) project on Lh. Hinnavaru. The book is designed to be used by community facilitators as a guide to train a core group of leaders from the community to identify and apply effective and achievable management actions in order to improve the safety and quality of water resources and to develop an integrated water resource management plan for the island. The factsheets provided in the manual are to be distributed at the trainings to participants. It is anticipated that the plan developed using this program will serve as a foundation for water management planning in the Maldives for the next 5 years. The plan will be prepared to comply with respective laws and guidelines related to water management in the country.
