For proper management of river catchment areas a variety of institutional, technical, and economic constraints have to be considered. Typical activi -ties comprise assessment of surface and ground -water use, potentials for irrigation, reservoir performances, water supply capacities, wastewater treatment requirements. Our further activities comprise clarification of institutional and legal requirements, economic analysis of river basins, calculation of cost-covering water prices, development of integrated economic, ecological, and social sound methods of river basin management and decision support.
