Membership to IWRM.org is purely voluntary and at no monetary cost. Your motivation, experience and time are the value we seek to harness in partnerships. The organization is based on communication amongst those who wish to look ouitside the hydraulic boxes that drove 20th Century approach to water resources management.
We look for active members in the fields outside surface and ground water resources, such as law and regulations, economics, sociology, ecosystems, infrastructure, and national and international governmental relations.
Other entities on our links page - serve some regional and global areas. Some local efforts are hard to track but they take care in individual countires and a base to coordinate their actions would be a nice facility to have. To the best of our knowledge, the GWP Tool Kit is the only location stories are being told about IWRM. So the two entities we recommend you start with to help larger IWRM awareness and implementation are Cap-Net and GWP in particular. They also have ideas for information and participation in regions and in countires.
IWRM.org looks to help smaller civil society.NGO and local>regional scale government organizations who are commonly without the background and capacity to get started or continue along fledgling pathways to sustainability in supporting their precious water resources and environment. When we cannot help them, we can frequently put them in contact with others that can as our reach is wide and our cotact base and knowledge in the field is active and comprehensive.
