OAS Water resources

From the Organization of American States:

Unit for Sustainable Development and Environment

Transboundary Water Management Projects

Integrated Water Resources Management in Mesoamerica (1998) pdf

Integrated Regional Development Planning: Guidelines and Case Studies from OAS Experience (1984) pdf

"Reviewing 20 years of experience with integrated regional development planning is a humbling exercise. Mistakes and failed plans stand out clearly with the perspective of time, but so do the occasional successfully implemented projects that flowed from the plans...In these accounts, we believe, are information and ideas of use to developing-country governments from the local to the national levels, sectoral agencies, river basin authorities, regional development corporations, other technical assistance groups, and - most of all - field study managers.
