Towards inclusive water and sanitation:Integrating ecosystem and watershed management
• Gustavo Heredia · August 29th, 2019 · World Water Week 2019
¿How to start?
Drop costs by using appropriate technologies
4.10 + 1.90 = 6.00 USD/capita*year
Effective wastewater treatment with simple tech

Integrated approach
Water · sanitation · solid waste · drainage
1. From infrastructure projects to service provision?
2. From waste to resources?
What kind of policies can you think of that would incentivize a shift:

One health
• Conservation South Africa partnering with local government Alfred Nzo District Municipality and communities
• Implementing WASH and Freshwater guidelines• Improve water quality
• Decrease pollution
• Improve health
Learning from Partners
Challenges
* Identifying and addressing landscape and watershed threats* Filling gaps in water service delivery expressed by communities* Building partnerships with government
Opportunities
• Increased awareness and social mobilization for community action
• Gender analysis led to recommendations for gender sensitive programming
• Replication of model in other CI watersheds

Opportunities
1. Integration of WASH and IWRM in a
market systems approach
2. Increased resource mobilization
from local and international private
sector to engage in watershed
management and conservation
3. Inclusive Private-Public
Partnerships with already existing
actors
1. Time-consuming planning process
because of its focus on
participation and empowerment
2. Need to develop financially viable
business models that cover
externalities
3. Policies creating new entities (e.g.
river basin agencies) that are not
functional
Challenges

WETLAND RESTORATION TO
SUSTAIN WASH SERVICESBiguli Subcounty, Kamwenge District, Uganda
Health
• Universal WASH services is our goal which has direct impact on health
Environment
• Services are supplied by unconfined groundwater sources in the Lake Victoria Basin, where wetlands have degraded by 53.8%
Economics
• Families near wetlands depend on land for tree harvesting, sand mining, and farming for income
AN INCLUSIVE AND INTEGRATED APPROACH
LESSONS LEARNED
• It is possible to impact health, environment, and
economics with one integrated project
• Wetlands rehabilitated in 1 year!
• Preliminary data suggest groundwater sources are
improving
• Farmers are diversifying agricultural activities
• The involvement of multilevel and multisector
stakeholders was key – diversity of expertise and
experience
• Government leadership was essential, especially with
enforcement
• Thoughtful planning and sensitization, starting from water
resources assessment that was shared broadly, and
learning visit to nearby catchment were integral
• Inclusion of alternative regulated activities to compensate
for loss in farmland was necessary
OPPORTUNITIES
• Ministry WRM Zones have same goals and visions, which
we could reinforce with additional technical capacity
• The work is replicable and scalable based on needs and
characteristics in the other 15 sub counties and 20
additional wetlands in the district
• Climate and land conditions are perfect for amazing
results
CHALLENGES
• Resistant landowners
• Need for more monitoring equipment and quantitative
impact measure
• Need for on-going capacity building of diverse
stakeholders
QUESTIONS FOR THE AUDIENCE
Social inequalities in water resources planning: A case study in rural Cochabamba, Bolivia
August 2019
Laura Forni, Lina Terrazas, Marisa Escobar.
WHY INCLUSIVE WATER MANAGEMENT?
• Stress on resources.
• Lack of access to and the existence of poverty are often interlinked.
• Water management analyses operate at a scale that cannot capture socio-economic differences between groups.
• Water planning analysisAggregated model (typical watershed)
Dissaggregated model( location of irrigation systems and water rights)
LESSONS LEARNED
Aggregated model → 60% of the water demand satisfied.
Disaggregated model: several groups < than 20% of their water demand, while others receive almost 100%.
Water rights and location in the distribution systemare causes of unequal access to water.
Land ownership and leadership are mainly of men.
OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES
Future climate change scenarios showed a decline in water demand coverage by 15% in the dry season.
However, planned strategies could raise water demand coverage up to 80% for some groups.
Despite this improvement, other groups would still face shortages.
By showing inequalities in a disaggregated model, decision-makers can test policies to ensure they are fair and effective.
Further examine social inequalities in waterplanning and WASH
How can we ensure that policies are not reinforcing existing inequalities by not looking at them?
