Review of the Strategy Theme Basin

Abstract The technical activities of the International Commission on Irrigation and Drainage (ICID) are organized under four Strategy Themes: On Farm, Systems, Basin, and Knowledge. Strategy Theme Basin deals with the basin level environmental aspects that affect agricultural water management and their impact on the environment. This review of Strategy Theme Basin and its six Working Groups (WG) examines its unique multi‐disciplinary role in delivering ICID's contribution to Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM), its effectiveness in meeting that role, and its future needs toward fulfilling that role. A formal set of objectives, of mechanisms to meet those objectives, and of suitable outputs for Strategy Theme Basin are proposed. Recommendations for future activities of the WG are made to improve multi‐disciplinary collaborations with relevant outside organizations, to facilitate greater participation by ICID members, to improve WG functionality, and to effectively disseminate knowledge to IWRM professionals.
