Integrated Water Resource Management Workshop
October 15-19, 2001
Denver, Colorado, USA

In recent years, interest in integrated water resource
management (IWRM) has risen significantly throughout
the world due to the increasing demands placed on such
a limited natural resource.

This Workshop will review and analyze recent
developments in integrated water resource management
and tools. The speakers* will be experts from the U.S.
Bureau of Reclamation and specialists from other water
resource management entities who will provide a
comprehensive overview of IWRM theory and techniques
with discussion on policies and practical management
issues -- from river basin level to individual water
resource projects.

Discussion will focus on assessing and dealing with
competing demands imposed on a limited water resource
and, at the project level, means to better promote
their efficient operation, maintenance, and management
for multiple purposes including irrigated agriculture,
flood control, hydropower, water supply and
environmental purposes. Specific sessions in the
Workshop will be devoted to a wide array of topics
including IWRM theory, data collection, water quality,
water conservation, drought management, adaptive
management, decision support systems, and conflict
management.

The U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of
Reclamation is responsible for the proper operation,
maintenance and structural safety of more than 300
dams and distribution systems throughout the western
United States. Reclamation has trained over 10,000
