The IWRM principles adopted at the International Conference on Water
and the Environment in Dublin, Ireland, in 1992, are known as the Dublin
Principles:
 Fresh water is a finite and vulnerable resource, essential to sustain life,
development and the environment
 Water development and management should be based on a participatory
approach, involving users, planners and policy-makers at all levels
 Women play a central part in the provision, management and safeguarding of
water
 Water has an economic value in all its competing uses and should be
recognized as an economic good

15. Pillars of IWRM
 An enabling environment of suitable policies,
strategies and legislation for sustainable water
resources development and management
 Putting in place the institutional framework through
which to put into practice the policies, strategies and
legislation, and
 Setting up the management instruments required by
these institutions to do their job.
