National Integrated Water Resources Management Policy
National Integrated Water Resources Management Policy
The mission involves the effective management of the country’s water resources
and promotion of conservation, development and protection of these resources
for sustainable use in a cost-effective and integrated manner to support socio-
economic growth.
Water is a limited (finite) and vulnerable resource that is essential for economic
growth and environmental and social well-being.
The freshwater resources are under increasing pressure because of the actions
that we undertake for development (land use).
Water is in crisis and many persons lack access to adequate water supply and
sanitation because of inadequate or improper practices rather than water
shortages.
