NWRM
There aremanymeasures that can be included under the heading of NWRM…
butnot all of themwill be relevant for yourowncatchmentoruseful foraddressing
thedifferent challenges youhave identified via your integrateddiagnosis.There are
at least two reasons for this:
ņ
ņ
SomeNWRM
are not relevant to your context
because of awide range
of issues: technical feasibility; limited (expected) benefits and effectiveness
site-specific biophysical and socio-economic conditions, or absence of
relevant pre-conditions for implementing themeasures.
ņ
ņ
While the delivery of multiple benefits is promoted as one of the key
advantages ofNWRM, not all
NWRMdeliver the same rangeof benefits
.
This is illustrated in the figure below,which presents the potential benefits
of a sample of NWRM (see
, and presented
in the NWRM fact sheets
) and in the
NWRM identity cards presented in the attachedNWRMToolbox. Based
on the relative importance of the main problems and challenges you are
facing, and on the different policy and strategic objectives you have set,
you need to pre-select NWRM that have the potential to address your
problems.
