Expanding staff for water management

Description

Expanding staff for water management involves increasing the number and capacity of personnel dedicated to planning, monitoring, and maintaining water resources. This strategy addresses shortages of skilled workers, improves response to water-related challenges, and ensures effective implementation of water policies. By recruiting, training, and deploying additional staff, organizations can enhance operational efficiency, strengthen regulatory enforcement, and better manage water supply, quality, and distribution, directly remedying gaps in service and oversight.

Implementation

This strategy features in the framework of Agenda 21 as formulated at UNCED (Rio de Janeiro, 1992), now coordinated by the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development and implemented through national and local authorities. Agenda 21 recommends the creation and maintenance of a cadre of professionals and semi-professionals for water, waste-water and solid waste management.
