Good Practice Guidelines for Water Data Management Policy
These Guidelines are part of global endeavours to achieve the 2030 Sustainable Development Goal 6 on ensuring the availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all. They are intended to be used by officers responsible for formulating and implementing government strategy to improve water information, with the aim of advancing water policy, planning, management and operations. The Guidelines were prepared under the World Water Data Initiative, on behalf of the United Nations and World Bank High Level Panel on Water.
