Abstract

INTRODUCTIONFrom the end of the 20th century, water management has been sustained by international norms that have been negotiated in global meetings and replicated worldwide. Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) was defined and adopted in the early 1990s in world conferences, the most important of which took place in Dublin in 1992. More recently, the Human Right to Water and Sanitation (HRW) was passed by the United Nations Human Rights Council in 2010 as a key benchmark in the effort to ensure safe and sufficient water supplies for the global population. Observers of global debates on water (Angel & Loftus, 2019) have documented how the HRW governance norm emerged from grassroots movements.While the adoption of these norms by supranational organizations can be considered a great achievement for water justice movements (Dupuits et al., 2020), their implementation has potentially transformed their character. Supranational organizations have indeed institutionalized these norms and embedded them in the global development co‐operation system. Through these approaches, they have promoted normative coherence for sustainable development (NCD), defined as policy coherence with IWRM and HRWS, which has established these norms as benchmarks for water governance throughout the world.The emergence of IWRM and the HRWS is vital for the understanding
