Project Strategy and methodology for improved IWRM - An integrated interdisciplinary assessment in four twinning river basins

STRIVER- Strategy and methodology for improved IWRM - An integrated interdisciplinary assessment in four twinning river basins is a three year EC funded project 2006-2009 under the 6th framework programme (FP6) coordinated by NIVA. The point of departure for STRIVER is the lack of clear methodologies and problems in operationalisation of Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) as pointed out by both the scientific and management communities.

STRIVER will develop interdisciplinary methods to assess and implement IWRM. Based on the development of a multidisciplinary knowledge base assessment in all case studies (policy, social and natural sciences) and an early stage development of IWRM conceptual framework, the project will undertake IWRM in the four selected twinned catchments covering six countries in Europe and Asia.

Objectives

STRIVER will contribute towards improved interdisciplinary IWRM, based on the coupling and balancing of ecological, social-economic and policy variables in all the four case-basins by twinning activities. To that end, the project will:

  • develop guidelines for interdisciplinary methods to assess and implement IWRM

  • assess the transferability of case study results

  • enhance the dialogue between decision-makers, stakeholders and scientists

  • disseminate data and information to stakeholders to promote participatory planning and integrated decision-making, taking adequate account of the rights of poor people and gender roles

  • ensure that project results will benefit all parties also after the end of the project

Results The STRIVER project results will be made available via the STRIVER web site throughout the project period. In the STRIVER Dissemination Overview you will find all STRIVER reports, articles and presentations as they are produced.
