The world is facing greater and more challenging difficulties in providing good water services, while maintaining ecosystems that provide adequate water quality and quantity, especially regarding sanitation. Water Governance is a concept consolidated by the Global Water Partnership in 2002. This webinar revisits that original concept, and discusses the main changes since 2002 including potential steps toward achieving the goals of Water Governance within the framework of the Integrated Water Management (IMW) principles.
