Basically, IWRM was developed as a cross-sectoral approach, designed to replace traditional, mostly fragmented sectoral approaches which dominated the water sector by then and imposed high economic, social, and ecological costs on human societies and the natural environment.
The Project's approach is integrated and multi-sectoral, initiating improvements in household and community well-being across agriculture, health, education and water sectors.
The water withdrawn for sectoral use is given per catchment and per sector (Fig. 5a, based on statistics obtained from CSO 2011).
Finally, we analyse the direct and the indirect benefits of water use at sectoral level.
For this purpose, we will begin by presenting an analysis of the direct and indirect water uses at sectoral level.
First, the analysis of direct and indirect water uses at sectoral level reveals that, on the one hand, Agriculture, hunting and forestry sector exhibits high direct water use.
These proportions are derived from the vector of sectoral water use in monetary units for the year 2002 obtained from the High Commission for Planning of Morocco.
The decomposition of inequality in the total WF by sectoral water use types indicates that agricultural WF is the largest contributor, contributing 45.7% of the total inequality, followed by industrial WF (36.9%), tertiary WF (11.1%) and domestic water use (6.3%).
This paper presents an input output model of sectoral water consumption, created by combining the extended Leontief input output model with the model of energy use developed by Proops.
The methodology has consisted of redefining the classical I O model in order to integrate the economic information provided by the I O table with hydrological information on direct sectoral water use.
