Integrated Water Resources Management CD available (24/11/06)

Good morning everyone:

Quite some time ago I reported on Cap-Net, an international network for capacity building in integrated water resources management (IWRM). Cap-Net is made up of a partnership of autonomous international, regional and national institutions and networks committed to capacity building in the water sector. Another group working in IWRM is the Global Water Partnership, a partnership of government agencies, public institutions, private companies, professional organizations, and multilateral development agencies committed to effective water management.

Cap-Net and the Global Water Partnership (GWP) have recently developed a CD that includes a wealth of training materials, tools, experiences on IWRM. The CD includes the Cap-Net e-library with training materials, water management materials, network tools, and references and information on courses and resource centres. It also includes the IWRM toolbox from the GWP, an organised collection of case studies in IWRM that have been peer reviewed by the GWP.

All of these materials are also available online from the GWP ToolBox (http://www.gwptoolbox.org/) and Cap-Net (http://www.cap-net.org/). The CD can be requested (free of charge) by sending an email to info@cap-net.org or toolbox@gwpforum.org.
