Molden, D. J.; Sakthivadivel, R.; Keller, J. 2001. Hydronomic zones for developing basin water conservation strategies. Colombo, Sri Lanka: International Water Management Institute (IWMI). v, 30p. (IWMI Research Report 056)

Changes in the way water is used in one part of a river basin often affect how water is used somewhere else in that basin. This report introduces the concept of hydronomic ( hydro water + nomus management) zones that were developed to help untangle some of the complexities of basin-wide water resource use.
