SECTION 3
Strategies for Integrating Water
Resource Issue Management with
the Project Implementation Process
3.1 Introduction
The information and overall protocols provided by the Water Resource Issue Information Cat-
alog and Water Resource Issue Management Plan described in Section 2 provide the foundation
for initiating the analysis of water resource issues in development projects. The information pre-
sented in Section 3 provides strategies and recommendations for the management of water
resource issues within the three primary phases of project implementation: Conceptual Planning,
Detailed Planning, and Project Execution. In Section 3, the reader will be provided with
· Identification of the four recurring elements that form the basis of an iterative approach to
water resource issue management and development project implementation;
· Description of the phases of development project implementations; and
· Strategies and recommendations for actions to consider for each project phase.
The information in Section 3 of the Handbook is complemented by the strategies and recom-
mendations provided in Appendix B fact sheets for specific water resource issues.
3.2 Recurring Elements of Water Resource Issue
Management at Each Phase
During each project implementation phase, there are planning actions associated with devel-
opment project implementation and planning actions associated with water resource issue man-
agement. Understanding the relationship between those actions is crucial. In most cases, the
relationship between development projects and water resource issues should not be a linear or
one-time consideration: it is an iterative, cyclical process (see Figure 4.)
As illustrated in Figure 4, information on the project characteristics informs the assessment
of measures needed to achieve compliance with water resource issue regulatory requirements.
Likewise, an understanding of the compliance needs feeds back information to the development
project, potentially triggering revisions to the project. This process repeats itself in each project
implementation phase. This iterative approach facilitates
the optimization of the project planning and management
process so that decisions can be informed by appropriate
