INTEGRATED BASIN MANAGEMENT FOR LAKE ENVIRONMENT
This course is intended principally for mid-career government officials and senior researchers
who are responsible for the management of lakes (natural and artificial) and their basins in
developing countries for sustainable use of resources. The prospective participants should
preferably be familiar with technical and administrative challenges in the development and
implementation of policies and programs for lake and reservoir management.
The course will review biophysical characteristics of and experiences in the management of
lakes and reservoirs and their basins, examine issues pertaining to governance challenges faced in
lake basin management including institutions, national and local policies, stakeholder participation,
technological possibilities and limitations, the role of science, and sustainable finance, while
exploring alternative approaches for planning over time. The course also introduces thematic
subjects in water quality management of lakes and reservoirs including methods of monitoring,
assessment, control and abatement of pollution in the form of class-room lectures, field visits and
some laboratory experiments. As part of the course requirements, the participants will be guided
to integrate the knowledge and insights gained through the course to help improve and develop
basin management plans for lakes in their respective countries.
