It (a) delineates environmental issues related IWRM; (b) identifies opportunities for SEAs to addressing these environmental issues; (c) uses the literature and ten Bank and non-Bank case studies to identify procedural and substantive factors and institutional drivers that lead to effective SEAs in the water sector at the policy, strategy, program, and plan levels; (d) reviews four national and state water policies to understand the inclusions of environment; (e) observes the introduction of SEAs in a developing country as an in-depth pilot study to identify practical issues arising from the introduction of SEAs for the water sector; and (f) recommends how the Bank can expand the use of SEAs to improve the integration of environmental issues in water resources investments.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOALGAL BLOOMSALTERNATIVE WATER USESAQUATIC ECOSYSTEMSAQUATIC LIFEAQUATIC SPECIESAQUIFERAQUIFER RECHARGEAQUIFERSBASIN MANAGEMENTCATCHMENTCATCHMENT MANAGEMENTCATCHMENTSCIVIL SOCIETYCLIMATE CHANGECLIMATE VARIABILITYCOASTAL ZONESCOMMUNITY GROUPSCONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORKCONSERVATIONCONSERVATION OF NATURECONSUMPTIVE USESCOST OF WATERCOVERINGDAMSDECISION MAKERSDECISION MAKINGDECISION­MAKINGDECISION­MAKING PROCESSDEMAND FOR WATERDEMAND MANAGEMENTDEVELOPED COUNTRIESDIAGNOSTIC ANALYSISDISCHARGEDRAINAGEDRINKING WATERECONOMIC INSTRUMENTSECONOMIC VALUEECOSYSTEMEFFLUENTENVIRONMENTALENVIRONMENTAL COSTSENVIRONMENTAL FLOWSENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENTENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENTSENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTSENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONSENVIRONMENTAL ISSUESENVIRONMENTAL LEGISLATIONENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTENVIRONMENTAL POLICYENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONEROSIONEXPENDITURESEXPORTEXTERNALITIESFISHFISH SPECIESFISHERIESFISHINGFLOOD CONTROLFLOOD PROTECTIONFLOODINGFLOODSFORESTRYFRESHWATERGLOBAL WATER PARTNERSHIPGOOD GOVERNANCEGOVERNANCE OF WATERGROUNDWATERGROUNDWATER TABLESGROUNDWATER WELLSHYDROLOGICAL CYCLEHYDROLOGYHYDROPOWER DEVELOPMENTHYDROPOWER PROJECTINTERNATIONAL WATERSINVESTMENT PLANNINGIRRIGATIONLAKE BASINSLAKE LEVELSLAKESLAND PRODUCTIVITYLAND USELEGISLATIONMANAGEMENT OF WATERNATIONAL WATER POLICYNATIONAL WATER RESOURCESNATIONAL WATER SUPPLYNATURAL RESOURCESNUTRIENT CONCENTRATIONSOPPORTUNITY COSTSPARTICIPATORY APPROACHESPERMITSPOLITICAL ECONOMYPOLLUTIONPOLLUTION CHARGESPOLLUTION RISKPONDSPOVERTY ALLEVIATIONPOWER GENERATIONPRESSUREPRICE OF WATERPRODUCTIVITYPROGRAMSPUBLIC GOVERNANCEPUBLIC PARTICIPATIONQUALITY STANDARDSQUALITY WATERRAINWATERRAINWATER HARVESTINGRECHARGERESOURCES MANAGEMENTRIPARIANRIPARIAN COUNTRIESRIVER BASINRIVER BASIN MANAGEMENTRIVER BASIN MANAGEMENT PLANSRIVER BASINSRIVERSSALINITYSANITATIONSANITATION SECTORSANITATION WATERSAPSSEASEASSECTORAL INVESTMENTSECTORAL MINISTRIESSECTORAL POLICIESSERVICE DELIVERYSEWAGE TREATMENTSEWAGE TREATMENT PLANTSSHORELINESHORELINESSOURCE PROTECTIONSPRINGSTAKEHOLDER INVOLVEMENTSTAKEHOLDER PARTICIPATIONSTRATIFICATIONSTREAMSSURFACE WATERSURFACE WATERSSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTSUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENTSUSTAINABLE USEURBAN RUNOFFURBAN WATERURBAN WATER SUPPLYUTILITIESWATER AFFAIRSWATER ALLOCATIONWATER BOARDSWATER BODYWATER DEPARTMENTWATER DEVELOPMENTWATER GOVERNANCEWATER INFRASTRUCTUREWATER LEGISLATIONWATER MANAGEMENTWATER NEEDWATER NEEDSWATER POLICIESWATER POLICYWATER QUALITYWATER QUALITY MANAGEMENTWATER QUALITY MONITORINGWATER QUANTITYWATER REQUIREMENTSWATER RESOURCEWATER RESOURCE MANAGEMENTWATER RESOURCESWATER RESOURCES DEVELOPMENTWATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENTWATER RESOURCES PLANNINGWATER SECTORWATER SECTOR REFORMWATER SERVICESWATER SOURCEWATER SUPPLYWATER USEWATER USERWATER USERSWATERSHEDWATERSHED MANAGEMENTWATERSHEDSWETLANDS10.1596/17244
