Abstract

In this review the concept of integrated water resources management is developed in some detail through many aspects such as the need for, and type of, governmental involvement; institutional arrangements; judicial and economic policies; technical measures; the importance of socio‐economic considerations; and the need to consider the widest possible range of alternatives. Approaches to this type of water resources management in three western European countries, Canada, and the United States arc discussed.
