چکیده:
The OECD Water Governance Indicator Framework aims to support the implementation of the OECD Principles on Water Governance (OECD, 2015). The Principles provide 12 must-haves for efficient, effective and inclusive water governance. Adopted in May 2015 by the OECD Regional Development Policy Committee and backed by ministers at the OECD Council Meeting at Ministerial Level in June 2015, as a framework to guide better water policies and reforms.
The Principles apply to the overarching water policy cycle and should be implemented in a systemic and inclusive manner. As such, they do not make distinctions across: water management functions (e.g. drinking water supply, sanitation, flood protection, water quality, water quantity, rainwater and stormwater); water uses(e.g. domestic, industry, agriculture, energy and environment); and ownership of water management, resources and assets (e.g. public, private, mixed).
