Short interview with the cartoonist

Why do people need to know IWRM? 

​To establish a successful and sustainable water resources management system, we have to firstly build a well-organized integration between all levels of stakeholders and watershed planner or decision makers. This is a first important step for all upcoming strategies and implementations. That is why the IWRM approach is a quite suitable method so far and people need to understand it and should be able to apply it too.

Why would you like to show IWRM in cartoon?

Cartoon method is simple but a very effective way to get people's attention and can deliver any messages you want to give to them. So I use cartoons to distribute IWRM messages to people.
