Analysis of present IWRM in the Upper Brahmaputra and the Upper Danube River Basins.

The article presents a study that examines the performance of the integrated water resources management (IWRM) in the upper Brahmaputra and Danube river basins. The study uses insights and knowledge from several scientific disciplines comprised of natural, socio-economic, and engineering sciences. The result of the study indicates that the IWRM method is part of water management planning and a good example for the implementation of the European Union (EU) water framework directive (WFD).
