Over the years, the pressure on the limited freshwater resources has considerably increased due to growing demand and abuse of the catchment areas The imperatives for an integrated approach, linking water management, land use, the environment and human activities  and involving cooperative governance by local authorities and other stakeholders, is now recognised as the logical way forward. To translate this approach into action, it is necessary to develop enduring partnerships among the participating institutions and organisations in the catchment area. Along side, the policies, laws and regulations shoould be geared to provide the enabling framework as needed for formulation and implementation of action plans at the local level.
 
This guidebook provides basic information on how cities can protect their fresh water resources through proper management of the local catchments. It is for achieving the Millenium Development Goals (MDGs) which have set a target for halving the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation, by 2015. The guidebook deals with the principles and practices for better management of water resources which, in turn, will lead to general improvement in the health of the local population, food security, environmental protection and sustainable development.
