有效和可持续地管理水资源对确保可持续发展至关重要。但是，水资源管理的努力似乎显示出不适当的做法，特别是与一般发展中国家，特别是撒哈拉以南非洲的水消费趋势相比。水资源是人类赖以生存的重要组成部分，影响着各个领域。然而，随着时间的推移，出现了越来越多的问题，使水资源面临一些危机和压力。水资源管理不善引发并持续了一些与健康、社会经济和环境有关的问题，这些问题需要得到解决。这些问题由于国家、社区和个人争取经济和社会发展的斗争而加速和扩大，因为许多发展倡议受到水供应的影响，反之亦然。综合水资源管理（IWRM）是以公平的方式将水资源的利用和管理纳入国民经济的主流，而不损害重要生态系统的可持续性的一个过程、一种变化和一种方法。本文分析了社区参与在综合水资源管理过程中的重要性。这篇论文描述了证明有必要采用综合水资源管理方法的理由，并解释了社区参与的理由。本文引用了不同地区社区参与的成功案例，以说明水资源综合管理的重要性。该论文的结论是，公众/社区的参与对于成功和可持续的水资源管理至关重要。已经强调，包括水在内的与自然资源管理有关的政策需要利用当地社区的知识、经验和意见，因为他们是资源养护的关键利益攸关者。这可以通过公众/社区参与来确保。(C) 2003, Elsevier Ltd.出版
Effective and sustainable management of water resources is vital for ensuring sustainable development. However, efforts of water resource management seem to demonstrate inappropriate practices, especially when compared to water consumption trends in developing countries in general, and sub-Saharan Africa in particular. Being a major and vital ingredient to human kind, water resources influence all sectors. However, there have been increased problems over time that subject water resources to a number of crisis and pressures. Poor water resources management have stimulated and sustained a number of problems related to health, socioeconomic and environment, which need to be solved. These problems are accelerated and magnified by the countries', communities' and individuals' struggles for economic and social development as many development initiatives are affected by water availability and vice versa. Integrated water resources management (IWRM), is a process, a change, and an approach that mainstream water resource use and management into the national economic in an equitable manner without compromising the sustainability of vital ecosystems. This paper analyses the importance of community participation in the process of IWRM. The paper describes reasons that justify the need for an IWRM approach and explains the rationale for community participation. Successful cases in community involvement have been cited from different areas to demonstrate the importance of IWRM. The paper concludes that the public/ community involvement is crucial for a successful and sustainable water resource management. It has been emphasized that natural resources management related policies including water requires the use of knowledge, experience and opinions of local communities who are the key stakeholders in resource conservation. This could be ensured through public/community participation. (C) 2003 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
