Abstract
AbstractThe current state of global water resources emphasises the need for improved water resource management. For the global community to achieve sustainable and equitable water resource management as well as the agreed upon Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the value of water needs to be recognised, measured and expressed while incorporating it into decision-making. The failure to place an appropriate value on water resources in all its different uses has been emphasised to be the root cause or symptom of political neglect of the valuable resource and the overall mismanagement thereof. The chapter focusses on providing a critical evaluation of Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) in terms of its implementation, challenges as well as successes within a global and South African context. Access to clean water is a recognised human right on a global scale. Consequently, this chapter seeks to provide a detailed evaluation of water service provision and delivery from a global and regional (Global South) perspective to establish the current state of water and sanitation services as well as the main impediments thereof.
