Abstract

Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) has increasingly become an important rallying theme for addressing the governance and management of water resources. The objective of this chapter is to examine how IWRM is perceived in southern Africa and the challenges of applying this concept in water resources governance and management within the region, using the case study of Zimbabwe. Due to mixed views among researchers, there is an ongoing debate about the extent to which the implementation of IWRM has succeeded in the country. However, at grassroots community level, the implementation of IWRM is constrained due to the limited choices that these communities have. Due to poverty, these communities depend directly on land-based resources for livelihood, many of which lead to environmental degradation, which in turn undermine the availability of water in the environment. Despite all these limitations, community-based institutions are better placed to pursue IWRM than state-sponsored institutions.

Fußnoten
1
Basin community members in the dry resettlement areas like Angus, Humani and Matendere ranches expressed dissatisfaction with water availability. In these areas, protected water sources are scarce and hardly reachable for some households. This means that they spend a lot of time scavenging for safe clean water. Here women wake up at dawn (around four o’clock in the morning) or wait until dusk (after seven O’clock in the evening) to access water. The resettlement areas were set up during Zimbabwe’s recent land reform programme, which led to the transfer of land from whites to landless black people, the majority of whomlived in the crowded communal areas, formerly known as African reserves. During resettlement, water infrastructure on the former white farms, including boreholes, pipes and tanks, was vandalized or collapsed due to poor maintenance, rendering water resources unavailable.

The LSWSCC is an example of a sub-catchment committee, the lowest level institution recognized by law within the Turwi River Basin. Though this level would be regarded as the “lowest appropriate authority” in legal terms, the actual level at which water resources are being effectively managed are traditional structures such as chiefs and villages heads, which are at a much lower level than what the law prescribes. In practice government officials involved in water management, including EMA, LSWSCC and AGRITEX officials, deal with these traditional authorities in order for their operations to be effective.
