Water resources management in Southern Africa is a complex challenge which requires an appropriate integrated approach if strategic and prognostic planning should be based on sound scientific findings in order to optimize and conserve the precious land and water resources. The prototype Integrated Water Resources Management System (IWRMS) will be a toolset of validated computer based procedures, where remote sensing is the major methodology to provide areal data sources to hydrological models assisting water resources managers through their decision strategies.
