IWRN - Inter-American Water Resources Network

About

The IWRN is a network of networks whose purpose is to build and strengthen water resources partnerships among nations, organizations, and individuals; to promote education and the open exchange of information and technical expertise; and to enhance communication, cooperation, collaboration and financial commitment to integrated water and land resources management within the context of environmental and economic sustainability in the Americas.

IWRN was founded in 1994 as the main recommendation of the First Inter-American Dialogue on Water Management, which produced the Miami Declaration.

The Network is going through a reorganization to better serve the water stakeholder community in the hemisphere. Now, IWRN governance is elected from a wide base in order to allow all water stakeholders to forward their views about the best ways to influence the implementation of sound water policies in our countries and exchange the lessons learned from practices in the field.

IWRN has organized seven (7) Inter-American Dialogues on Water Management, as a flagship event that gathers water management practitioners from all over the hemisphere every three years.
