| Description of indicator |
The indicator degree of implementation of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM), measured in per cent (%) from 0 (implementation not yet started) to 100 (fully implemented) is currently being measured in terms of different stages of development and implementation of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM).
The definition of IWRM is based on an internationally agreed definition, and is universally applicable. IWRM was officially established in 1992 and is defined as “a process which promotes the coordinated development and management of water, land and related resources in order to maximise economic and social welfare in an equitable manner without compromising the sustainability of vital ecosystems.” (GWP 2010). The method builds on official UN IWRM status reporting, from 2008 and 2012, of the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation from the UN World Summit for Sustainable Development (1992). |

| Calculation |
1. Favorable environment: this concept refers to policies, laws, plans and strategies that create an enabling environment for IWRM. 2. Institutions: Refers to the various political, social, economic and administrative institutions and their roles that help support the implementation of IWRM. 3. Management Tools: Tools and activities that allow decision makers and users to make rational and informed choices between alternative actions. 4. Financing: Budgeting and financing supports obtained and used from various sources for the development and management of water resources. Calculation method 1. The questionnaire contains 32 questions divided into the four main components described above. 2. Each question is given a score between 0 and 100, in increments of 10 points, according to the following 6 main categories: • Very low (0) • Low (20) • Medium - low (40) • Medium - high (60) • High (80) • Very high (100) Guidance is provided for each threshold for each question to ensure objective and comparable results. 3. The unweighted average of the question scores within each of the four components is calculated to give a score between 0 and 100 for each component. 4. Component scores are averaged (unweighted) to obtain the indicator score, expressed as a percentage between 0 and 100. |
