Balancing Human Security and Ecological Interests in a Catchment

This report summarises the outcome of the SIWI seminar on how to balance human livelihood security and ecological security, paying attention to water-ecosystem interactions and to upstream/downstream dependencies and how these interactions are modified or altered by human interventions and manipulations. The overriding goal is to seek clarity on what should exactly be meant by ‘land/water integration taking a catchment-based ecological approach’.
