In many cases, poor management of water supplies is to blame for a crisis. Scholars and practitioners have proposed developing enhanced modalities of water governance that promote the implementation of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) to meet the interconnected problems of assuring access to sustainable water supplies for the world's populations. Therefore, this research aims to do two things: 1) evaluate the current status of water and related resources, and 2) create an operational decision-support system for the sustainable use of water resources based on integrated water resources management (IWRM). Beneficiaries are involved in all stages of the planning process, from the first brainstorming to the final evaluation. There hasn't been anything quite like these kinds of efforts before because they do not actively include community groups and government agencies in project design and money distribution. Matching water resources with various users (farmers, fisherman, women, and others) and their agriculture and fisheries development requirements was the focus of this study, which took an integrated participatory approach. Therefore, water management agencies are established through participatory water management. Beneficiaries realized that collective action results in the empowerment of all community members through capacity building and participatory water management. Because of this plan, agricultural progress in the area under consideration will proceed smoothly.
在许多情况下，供水管理不善是造成危机的原因。学者和从业者提出了发展强化的水治理模式，以促进综合水资源管理（IWRM）的实施，从而解决确保全球人口获得可持续供水这一相互关联的问题。因此，本研究旨在做两件事：1）评估水及相关资源的现状；2）基于综合水资源管理（IWRM）创建一个水资源可持续利用的运行决策支持系统。从最初的头脑风暴到最终评估，受益者参与了规划过程的各个阶段。以前从未有过类似这样的努力，因为它们没有在项目设计和资金分配中积极纳入社区团体和政府机构。本研究采用综合参与式方法，重点是使水资源与各类用户（农民、渔民、妇女等）及其农业和渔业发展需求相匹配。因此，通过参与式水资源管理建立了水资源管理机构。受益者认识到，集体行动通过能力建设和参与式水资源管理，使所有社区成员都能获得权能。由于这一计划，所考虑地区的农业将顺利发展。
