原 文： Integrated water resource management and institutional integration: realising the potential of spatial planning in England SUE KIDD,DAVE SHAW Abstract This paper explores the various dimensions of integration that need consideration in developing appropriate institutional arrangements for integrated water resource management (IWRM), drawing upon both IWRM and spatial planning sources. As a result, a framework of integration in IWRM is set out. This is then used to consider the strengths and weaknesses of the new spatial planning system in England, and its potential to contribute to IWRM activities that are being developed, partly in response to the European Union Water Framework Directive. From this analysis it is argued that, taken overall, spatial planning is well placed to meet these challenges and it could in fact play a much more central role than is currently envisaged. An alternative model for IWRM in England is set out which sees the new river basin management plans as integral, rather than parallel, to the spatial planning system. KEY WORDS: integrated water resource management, spatial planning, integrated planning and management, Water Framework Directive 1. Introduction In its resolution 58/217, the General Assembly of the United Nations (UN) declared 2005–15 as the International Decade for Action ‘Water for Life’(UN 2005). This emphasis on water in international affairs reflects a growing global recognition, galvanised at the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) in Johannesburg in 2002, of the key part that better management of water resources must play in moving towards more sustainable patterns of development. As Klaus Toepfer, Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme commented, ‘the WSSD highlighted that water is not only the most basic of needs, but is also at the centre of sustainable development . Water is intimately linked to health, agriculture, energy and biodiversity. Without
