The objective of this project is to strengthen capacity of national level institutions in planning for Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM). The project includes developing operational guidelines for completing and implementing IWRM planning in the Philippines, developing an institutional framework to support future IWRM approaches including working through academic institutions, developing and delivering modules to support training of trainers and facilitating learning by working with local institutions and relevant agencies to use IWRM approaches in pilot locations at the planning stage or in implementation.
A collaborative modelling approach has been employed during the pilot situation analysis for the Tacloban River Basin. This approach combined Group Model Building with the water security framework (AWDO). The Group Model Building process helped decision makers and stakeholders to better identify the most relevant water-related issues in the basin and understand their interactions, whilst the water security framework helped to create the links to the ambitions, goals and targets for the master plan. This approach also made use of Deltares’ Sustainable Delta serious game (SDG) for adaptive planning under uncertainties. For more information click here.
