HISTORY
Till 1980s Focusing on water supply Quantity of Water was the priority issue Planning with limited scale for specific purposes Producing single solutions to specific/unit problems After 1980s Integration Finding solutions in large scale to numerous problems International Principles New Concepts
SUSTAINABILITY PARTICIPATION OF SHAREHOLDERS INTEGRATED UNDERSTANDING and TRANSITION TO MANAGEMENT
SUSTAINABILITY
Meeting the current targets and needs, without interrupting the demand and needs of future generations, in an integrated manner
The term Sustainable development has been initially mentioned in the 1992 Rio World Environment and Development Summit and then onwards it has started to be discussed in various platforms. Water Resources; form the basis of sustainable development; that basically considers the sustainable development and management of these resources.

WHAT IS A WATERSHED?
Covers the areas that lie between the source of a river and the point that it ends. Simply it is the drainage area of a river.
Riversheds have the natural hydrological boundaries. They do not have artificial boundaries like administrative or political boundaries.
Watersheds are considered as the most logical and most suitable scale to provide planning of natural resources and their sustainable utilization in an ecosystem integrity.

INTEGRATION ?
Integration of Environmental Media (Air, Water, Soil, Surface Waters, Groundwater, Land-Use, Erosion, Wetlands, Coastal Zones, etc. and interaction among them) Integration of environmental factors with social, economic, administrative and legal components (SUSTAINABILITY) Integration of various disciplines Integration of actors (COORDINATION) Integration of Financial Sources Integration of Management Tools (Decision- support Systems, data bases, models, GIS, expert systems) Climate change and potential risks

WFD = A single management framework for the entire legislation related to Water
I. Determining the watershed regions Combining one or more river basins II. Forming Expert Organizations At watershed basis (for each of the watershed region) At National scale, If exists at international basis for transboundary waters. Method; By an already existing expert organization and through revising its duties, By means of a commission design that includes the related ministries, By defining a new structure that is independent from the existing organization and institutions, III. Preparation of River Basin Management Plans (RBMP)
II. DIFFUSE Agricultural Activities Use of Fertilizers and Pesticides Animal Breeding Leachate Land (Forestry, meadows & pasture, rural and urban run-off) Quarries and Mining Activities
VII-VIII. Preventive Measures Program-More Detailed listing of Measures and their Summary
IX. List of Responsible Authorities All related Ministries and State Offices and Organizations under the coordination of the Ministry of Forestry and Water Affairs. X. Background information obtained from public, determining the communication points
