Good references for learning about IWRM and modeling

How do you incorporate the IWRM framework into modeling, planning, and decision-making? Before attempting to answer this question, it is a good idea to review what others have done about it. Below is a list of references that might help shed some light on the subject.

    1. Unfortunately, I don't have the rights to freely share many of these publications. I think the best option for you is to run a search on the documents listed above and download them yourself. If you are a researcher associated with an academic institution, you should be able to get any of these resources without much problem at all. I hope this has been helpful to you. Good luck in your search!
