Abstract Watershed health study has been considered as a global issue embodied in the United Nations' 2030 agenda toward sustainable water resources development, paving way for integrated management (IWRM) application, and visualizing intervention techniques to comprehend existing challenges. The watershed faces tremendous pressure due erratic rainfall patterns, drastic demand increase, hydrological extremes, natural‐anthropogenic activities. This aims re‐evaluate recently developed Integrated Health Assessment Framework (IWHF) weights, Weyib assessment, Ethiopia's policy implications using integration of numerous data multiple tools. analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was used estimate aggregate results from experts' survey responses, which depicted 50.89% priority ecological conditions, followed by economic 23.30%, 13.82%, 12% socio‐cultural attributes. A slight discrepancy exhibited when weights were re‐evaluated, variables with substantial effects on IWHF developing countries like Ethiopia integrated. majority index (WWHI) indicators unveiled promising except stakeholders' collaboration social obligation restoration activities, information educational campaigns, hydrology, wetland, natural land‐cover. water‐quality parameters laboratory findings suitable irrigation purposes. In general, WWHI good status, medium‐level required activities address deteriorated variables. Moreover, enhancing IWRM's application will contribute tackling bottlenecks such boost community awareness stakeholder collaboration, legal administrative gaps, overlapped mandates, unpermitted use resulting undermining downstream demands environmental low‐flow.

Published: Aug. 10, 2022

This paper provides an overview of existing methodological approaches to assess water security in Latin America through a set quantifiable metrics. A framework develop these metrics is proposed based on literature review and sources data that can be mined quantify As case study application, the applied group sites within Water Funds Partnership understand its applicability, challenges implementation, help identify information gaps, provide initial assessment region. One important aspect this intends capture multisectoral nature security. The five work cover scarcity (balance between physical supply total demand), household (domestic demand met), economic (sectoral environmental (water quality) toward disaster risk reduction. Other region are long-standing incorporated into future iterations. Such could include provision infrastructure sanitation services, institutional/governance capacity, ecosystem among others. Given complex interaction water-using sectors, it imperative move from traditional sectoral management approaches, which decision-making investment planning carried out as if sectors sanitation, agriculture, energy, others) independent each other, transition integrated approach development resources their use. Apart promoting resource efficiency, avoid unintended consequences potential conflicts coming decades represents practical direction.
