ABSTRACT
There is evidence that the driving force behind IWRA's congresses on water resources keeps the integrity of our water resources. This effect could be tested at IWRA's VIth World Congress by support for a plea to keep it.
This evidence led to the main deduction that water resources, being the universal carrier of life in the exchange processes in nature, have to be managed with integrity to keep their integrity.
Specific deductions were made about the exchange process of consumption of natural resources and the return of the resulting refuse to nature. This process appears to determine man's impact on his natural resources. It seems to be managed in Institutions and Cultures as well as in the domain of Technology. It could be reintegrated in man's economic, social and ethical behaviour, to be managed for optimum well-being.
It was also deduced that the required state of water resources could be kept by local managers with sound national and international programmes integrated in water resources management information systems.
