	Community-based water resource management is an approach that promotes appropriate water management strategies by and for communities. ~~Typically using~~ structures developed for WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene) management, it brings WASH and water resource management practices closer together, ~~in an integrated approach~~ to ~~managing~~ water ~~resources and supplies~~.		Community-based water resource management is an approach that promotes appropriate water management strategies by and for communities. This typically uses structures developed for WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene) management, and brings WASH and water resource management practices closer together.

			Integrating the management of water resources (e.g. groundwater) and water supply infrastructure (e.g. wells and boreholes) enhances water security. This approach can help strengthen community operating strategies for water use, reduce conflict between different water users, and get early warning of threats such as drought. It also improves the ability of planners to design more effective WASH services; and it can help communities advocate for support to cope with water access problems.
