Since its first applications in river valleys in the 1930s, integrated water resources management (IWRM) has become a widely applicable holistic approach for water governance, resting on the key balance of economic, environmental and social aspects. This chapter discusses the history and key components of IWRM. Stakeholder engagement, one such key component, is an ambitious endeavour that requires special consideration to ensure that engagement is equitable and adapted to local contexts. Accordingly, participatory coupled human-water systems modelling and game-based approaches can engage stakeholders’ knowledge to create shared representations of reality. Citizen science and distributed databases also offer opportunities for more direct and sovereign involvement of communities in the IWRM process. Overall, this chapter explores the potential of IWRM to expand collaborative governance in water management strategies, providing an overview of innovative and emerging ideas and tools in this space to be used as a starting point for those interested in exploring different ways of engaging and empowering local communities through resource management.
