Ecosystem approach to water management in urban areas : goals and selected case studies from developing countries / J. Marsalek. : En13-5/94-89E-PDF

"Increasing competition for water resources calls for fundamental changes in water management. Among the various management approaches, the ecosystem approach, attributing equal importance to social, economic and environmental interests in managing human uses of natural resources, is preferred. Goals and objectives of this approach are presented for specific conditions of urban areas. Finally, the use of the ecosystem approach and sustainability principles in developing countries is examined for five case studies presented at a recent UNESCO workshop. Even though comprehensive applications of this approach are still uncommon, these case studies indicate a clear trend towards adopting the features of the ecosystem approach and sustainability principles in developing countries"--Abstract.
