ILBM can be applied to a variety of lake situationsLake Examples Characteristics
A Reservoirs on rivers and tributaries :Ujjani, Bhoj wetland
·Well established management system under irrigation departments in the states. ·Water quality issues due to up-land chemical intensive agriculture and industrial developments.·Competition for water among different user sectors·Siltation from deforestation in the catcment
B Impoundments based ontopography :HussaisagarChilikaAnasagar
·Chemical intensive agriculture·Siltation due to deforestation·Urbanization and industrialization
C Temple tanksPushkar

NEPAL
Why Conserve Himalayan Lakes?
• Himalayas as the Water Towers of Asia• Home to many Ramsar sites• Possession of many lakes of global values• Transboundary nature
•Himalayan lakes are biodiversity hotspots
•High religio-cultural values (Hindu, Buddhist, Maithili, Newars. etc.)
•21% of lake-dependent communities of Nepal rely on them
•Major source of socio-economy of Nepal
Why Conserve Himalayan Lakes?
ILBM PROGRESS IN NEPAL
1. National lake inventory2. Development of Strategic plan – for approval3. Development of wetlands assessment tools (ILBM
framework) 4. Establishment of Wetlands Education Center with an
NPO – Action in Mountain Community
2010 ONWARDS: ILBM in NEPAL
1 Continue support to Lake Conservation Focusing on ILBM
2 Capacity building through Wetlands Academy3 Publication of Himalayan Lake Journal4 Exchange lake conservation learning on ILBM 5 Enhance national capacity of Nepal for ILBM6 Develop larger funding proposal for ILBM
demonstration
THAILAND
Participatory Environmental Education Program for School, Local and Tribal Communities in some
Watershed Areas of Chiang Rai and Mae Hongson Provinces, Northern Thailand
1. To promote the exchange of knowledge on effective learning2. To create synergetic partnerships in the caring of local
rivers3. To improve students and citizens awareness4. To influence behavioral change on caring for the
environment5. To train students, school teachers and community leaders on
aquatic environment and water quality monitoring.6. To improve the quality of local life by participatory action
activities which could be transferred to other areas.
Objectives
Check Dam for Environment by the Youth
Results: Community Behaviour Changes
• The hill-tribe ethnic groups in other areas or provinces would also be targeted in the future.
• The expectation is that the whole upstream areas will have better water quality.
• Linkage the environmental education activities to social and economics for sustainable better quality of life and environment

What has been done1. Lake Eutrophication Desk Study – 2005
Inventory – 90 lakes: 55 water supply/irrigation; 35% lakes for hydropower, flood control
2. Colloquium on Management of Lakes and Reservoirs in Malaysia : 2nd to 3rd August 2007
8 case studies by lake managers and researchers from Malaysia focusing on lakes used for various purposes
3. ASM/NAHRIM/ILEC/UNIs Collaboration
Strategic Planning
Development of a national vision for Malaysian lakes & reservoirs
Development of a policy framework statement Development of a Mission Statement for lake management Development of a strategy framework for the development
and management of Malaysian lakes
Six Components: Governance Management Research and Development Capacity Building Information Management Community Stakeholders
To work in close collaboration with other water related ministries and agencies
especially with all State Government administrations
Complementary efforts - needed at the national scale in capacity building programmes
especially to develop competent lake managers with multi-disciplinary skills
Long term, adequate investments in R & D
to ensure good science, technology and innovation to address the multiplicity of issues and problems faced by the lake
environment
OUTLOOK FOR THE FUTURE
The Way Forward• To develop a platform that all those who manage
lakes can subscribe to.• To integrate efforts to manage lakes on a more
rational basis• To set the stage for a more comprehensive and
holistic management of lake resources.

LAGUNA DE BAY
• The Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA), is at present, the only lake basin management institution in the Philippines
• All the six pillars of ILBM are present but some pillars are weak
• LLDA conducts self-assessment to strengthen some pillars
Situationer on ILBM in the Philippines
Located in one of the conflict areas in the Philippines; military presence is very significant
Local Government Unit and NPO’s in Lake Lanao wants the lake to be managed by an institution like LLDA
Existing efforts to create a law like the LLDA law but the process is very slow
The Governor and NPO’s requested ILEC to help them understand and implement the ILBM approach
ILBM workshop and seminar conducted by ILEC in partnership with the NPO’s in September 2009
ILBM provided a platform where different management views and approaches of opposing parties are discussed openly
Lake Lanao
Situationer on ILBM in the Philippines
Stakeholders in Rinconada Lakes (Lake Buhi, Lake Bato, Lake Baao-Bula) first learned about the ILBM during the ILEC mission in July 2010
The Regional Environmental Management Bureau of the Department of the Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) adopted ILBM and is taking the lead to implement ILBM
The Mayors of each town where the lake is located are interested in ILBM to guide them manage the lake under their jurisdiction
The Mayors and EMB expressed to ILEC their urgent need for capacity building to help them put into operation the six pillars of ILBM
LAKE BUHI, LAKE BATO, LAKE BAAO-BULA
• The Department of Environment and Natural Resources through its River Basin Control Office (RBCO) recognizes the ILBM approach
• The Philippine Council for Aquatic and Marine Resources Research and Development (PCAMRRD) takes the ILBM lake brief as the template for the inventory of Philippine Lakes and as a guiding principle in policies and research
• A round table discussion was held in July 2010 to combine Integrated Lake Basin Management (lentic) and Integrated River Basin Management (lotic) in the management of water resources
• IL2BM is a great possibility
All countries have common lessons, challenges and opportunities
1. ILBM offers a platform for diverse stakeholders to deliberate on conservation issues in water sector
2. ILBM stimulates interest on lake inventory and information gathering
3. ILBM moves stakeholders to get involved in good governance in water
4. ILBM encourages Public Private Partnerships for conservation and management of water resources
5. ILBM can influence decision making on the implementation of river basin management and lake basin management
6. ILBM offers a unifying approach in the management of lakes, rivers and groundwater in local, national and international scale
7. ILBM needs to be disseminated and understood on the ground
ILBM takes time to deliver impacts, thus there is an urgent
To enhance networking and strengthen strategic alliance
NEED FOR INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATION AND SUPPORT
To engage international experts in building local capacity
To improve ILBM approach in each country
To upscale ILBM in the national and international water resources management community
To sustain the momentum of participating institutions and individuals
To encourage donor countries and financial institutions to support the introduction and promotion of the ILBM approach in more countries
ILBM has gained momentum and support from the National Government and
Civil Society
South Asia and Southeast Asia:Moving on with ILBM
ILBM in other continents is moving the same way
There is a unified expression of the creation of ILBM network in South Asia
and in Southeast Asia
There is a common desire to establish Centers of Excellence in ILBM through the Internal Lake Environment Committee Foundation (ILEC)
ILBM has many challenges but offers a lot of opportunities for the conservation of world lakes and rivers
