The Supreme Council for Environment (SCE), in collaboration with the Permanent Technical Advisory Committee of the Water Resources Council and the Arabian Gulf University (AGU), has launched the second training programme entitled “Integrated Water Resources Planning and Management”. The programme forms part of the project to strengthen the institutional capacity of the Water Resources Council to address climate change challenges, with support from the Green Climate Fund (GCF). She added that institutional integration among the Permanent Technical Advisory Committee of the Water Resources Council, the Supreme Council for Environment and the entities responsible for water resources management continues to ensure the effective and sustainable governance of the water sector. It aims to prepare the next generation of water leaders to apply the principles of integrated water resources planning across water sources and uses, while taking into account the interlinkages between the water, energy, food and environmental sectors. The programme seeks to strengthen participants’ capabilities in integrated water resources planning and management within the context of Bahrain’s water sector.
