Using ISO14001 gaps analyses to improve sustainability of water programs and projects

International water resources management programs and projects (hereafter, projects) historically have sometimes failed to meet increasingly complex societal demands and m ultiple objectives. The international agencies, banks and national governments have detailed project review criteria, but such reviews often have been narrowly focused. There are few systems in place that assist with formulating, assessing, implementing and m onitoring these international projects in an integrated fashion, directed toward the goal water resource sustainability. In addition, water resource needs and potential solutions often are poorly communicated to an increasingly involved general public. Projects are also being assessed for ‘environmental due diligence’ by the project proponents, but without a comprehensive system or procedure.
