Integrated water resource planning in Canada: Theoretical considerations and observations from practice

Abstract

Since the early 1980s the concept of integration in water resource planning has received considerable research attention. Despite this research focus, there does not appear to be a recent and comprehensive source which discusses those “ingredients” or “tenets” which are necessary components of an integrated water resource planning process. Such a list is presented in this paper. A suitable case study is assessed from the perspective of these tenets to help determine their validity. © 1995 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
