This paper explores the role of IWRM in mitigating disaster risks through the coordinated management of water, land, and related resources. It discusses key components of IWRM, including policy frameworks and stakeholder involvement, and examines the challenges in implementation, such as institutional barriers and funding issues. By analyzing case studies from the Netherlands, Australia, and Sub-Saharan Africa, the paper demonstrates how IWRM has successfully contributed to reducing vulnerability to water-related disasters. The findings emphasize that IWRM is a critical tool in building resilience and ensuring the sustainable management of water resources in the face of increasing climate-related risks.

Engaging local populations in the planning, decision-making, and implementation of recovery efforts not only ensures that recovery strategies are tailored to the specific needs of affected communities but also fosters a sense of ownership and sustainability. This paper explores the significance of community engagement in water disaster recovery, analyzing various methods for effective engagement, including workshops, participatory planning, and communication strategies. It also highlights successful case studies from different parts of the world, such as the Netherlands' "Room for the River" project and Australia's Murray-Darling Basin Plan, showcasing the positive impact of community involvement. The paper further examines the challenges to community engagement, such as institutional barriers, funding issues, and social inequalities, and proposes ways to overcome them. Ultimately, the paper underscores the importance of inclusive and sustained community engagement in building resilience and achieving long-term success in water disaster recovery efforts.
