Water, is in Spain a scarce commodity and although we have an age-old water culture, with an emblematic Court, such as the “Tribunal de las Aguas de Valencia”, hydraulic infrastructure, hydrological basin plans, legislation and hydraulic administration since the 20th Century, there are problems of scarcity, water quality and extreme events that often lead to conflicts between users and also among the responsible administrations for their management. Within this framework, it is of a great interest the training of technicians in matters related to planning, quality and integrated water resources management for sustainable development.In Argentina (especially in the NOA) and until a few years ago, water has not been considered as a scarce commodity. In addition to this, they do not have the history and culture of Spain on issues related to their management, planning and governance. Now, they have begun to establish laws and regulations, as well as, an Association of Consortia of Public Water Users, needing external advice. Therefore, it is necessary, to train technicians in water resources capable of working in areas related to their planning and sustainable management, with knowledge related to the quality required by users. These technicians could be integrated, both in the responsible water administrations’, as well as, in private companies.The project that is the object of this paper is based on preparing a double master's degree, in which the training needs of the students graduated of Spanish and Argentina Engineering Schools are taken into account.

The studies noted that the transition of the water sector to a management system based on the principles of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) is being implemented in all countries of Central Asia. From the point of view of water resources management in the Republics of Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, progress in the field of IWRM has been noted and is to some extent open to reforms. In Uzbekistan, 1503 non-governmental non-profit associations of water users (WUAs) operate today to manage water relations between farms. In Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan, the proccss of reform is sluggish, in these countries the introduction of the IWRM concept, the transition to the hydrographic management principle and the creation of the WUAs as an adequate tool for implementing IWRM at the local level are envisaged

Yatta Canal is situated in Yatta division, Machakos district about 100 km from Nairobi along Thika- Garissa road. It is about 60 Km long and supplies water for domestic, livestock and irrigation use. Over the years, the water supply has been unreliable especially during dry season leading to conflicts between upstream and downstream consumers. Sometimes the Government has been forced to intervene to restore order. The study aimed at assessing the use of Yatta canal, based on the principles of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) which stipulates efficient use of water and involvement of all stakeholders in decision making for sustainability. Based on this concept, it was established that the current water demand outstrips supply and that there is inefficient water use especially for irrigation. Waterallocation process favours landowners, and stakeholders are not fully involved in planning, management and development. Further, women’s participation in decision-making is minimal. There is no environmental voice during water allocation and thus the reserve/ base flow in the canal has not been maintained. This means that IWRM concept has not been practiced and this has resulted to conflict among various water users. As Yatta canal gets water from Thika river, there is need to establish Thika river basin water users association where stakeholders can influence decisions on water allocation and management. This will create a forum to discuss efficient water use at all levels and promote internal policing to ensure fair allocation, thus minimizing conflicts and promoting the IWRM concept.

The expediency of implementing the principles of integrated water resources management in the Republic of Crimea is substantiated and proposals for their implementation are developed based on the analysis of world experience in organizing the water resources management process. The introduction of integrated water resources management in the Republic of Crimea will significantly improve the current water management situation: it will improve the environmental condition of water bodies; it will allow us to assess the volume of water resources that can be further involved in production; reduce the imbalance of interests of different groups of water users.
