There are often significant knowledge gaps in our understanding of biophysical processes and natural resources management for optimum IWRM. This means that IWRM may need to commission research to fill these gaps. Areas where research often needs to be done are in analysing processes and links within and between ecosystems, and in developing models to predict ecological and hydrological changes, such as under different climate change scenarios. Decision makers then need to use the research findings to develop practical options for resource use.
