BLUEgovernance
Integrated water resource management seeks to balance human uses of water with the conservation of aquatic ecosystems, promoting water security, climate resilience and sustainable use of resources. This approach articulates different scales, from river basins to estuarine and lagoon systems. Fundamental to preventing extreme events such as floods, this area also acts on ecological restoration, river connectivity, biodiversity loss and adaptation to phenomena associated with climate change.
