本文探讨了尼日利亚克罗斯河流域综合水资源管理 (IWRM) 的实施情况。跨河流域开发局 (CRBDA) 成立于 1976 年，其任务是利用该地区丰富的水资源进行综合开发。 CRBDA创建三十年后，与最初的目标和实际提供的服务以满足人民的需求之间仍然存在很大差距。采用了广泛的研究方法，包括利益相关者会议、焦点小组会议、访谈以及在选定社区的村民会议上的观察，以根据人们的期望和需求来检查水资源综合管理的实施情况。本文的结论是，克罗斯河流域 (CRB) 的水资源综合管理并不是很成功。这是由于许多制度因素造成的，包括法律、政治、行政和财政障碍。本文建议对 CRB 的水资源综合管理政策进行改革，以反映当地情况和条件。
This paper examines the implementation of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) in the Cross river basin, Nigeria. The Cross River Basin Development Authority (CRBDA) was established in 1976 with a mandate for integrated development, using the abundant water resources available in the region. Thirty years after the creation of the CRBDA, there is still a large gap between the original objectives and the actual delivery of services to meet the needs of the people. A wide range of study methods, including stakeholder meetings, focus group sessions, interviews and observations at village meetings of selected communities was used to examine the implementation of IWRM against the expectations and needs of the people. The paper concludes that IWRM in the Cross river basin (CRB) has not been very successful. This is attributed to a number of institutional factors, including legal, political, administrative and financial obstacles. This paper recommends that IWRM policies in the CRB should be reformed to reflect local circumstances and conditions.
