other regions, and acknowledge that more examples exist and will be reported
over time. We suggest that assessment according to these guidelines will help
identify good practices.
We hope that the principles, guidelines, and logic framework for water
resource planning, supported by examples, will lead to improved outcomes
for the resource, benefits for humankind, and less conflict in getting there.
