Water Stewardship global definition
“The use of water that is:
- socially equitable
- environmentally sustainable
- economically beneficial
achieved through a stakeholder-inclusive process that
involves site- and riverbasin-based actions.
Good water stewards understand their own water use, river-basin context and
shared risk in terms of water governance, water balance, water quality and
important water-related areas;
..and then engage in meaningful individual and collective action.”

Wat zijn de uitdagingen in een stroomgebied?
Lokale, specifieke omstandigheden
1. A growing demand for regional water governance support:
- Ensure cities are resilient (climate change)
- Facilitate collective actions (“govern in partnership”)
- Strengthen water governance at regional level
2. Water management in Agriculture
Geen “one size fits
all”
Verbondenheid in een stroomgebied:
Longitudinaal (upstream-downstream),
lateraal, verticaal
Gedeelde risico‘s
en impacts
Groot aantal gebruikers en stakeholders
Conflicterend
gebruik van water
Grensoverschrijdend karakter: wetgeving en
(toekomstig) beleid
Veranderende
belangen en

Verband met andere grondstoffen en

EWS Added Value
• Reduce your water-related risks by a continuous monitoring system
• Give a starting point to set targeted, integrated response strategies
based on local risks
• Ensure long term viability of the activities in the region.
• Enable pro-active compliance and prepared reaction with policy
requirements (e.g. WFD).
