Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRW) has made significant strides since its definition following the Rio Conference on Sustainable Development. Part of Sustainable Development Goal 6, the implementation of IWRM is foreseen globally by 2030. Initially, planning water resources in an integrated manner was the focus of most projects/programmes; hence, nowadays most of the efforts are targeted towards its implementation with practical implications for the nations and their populations.
