This research is conducted to introduce the integrated watershed management regime that is recently recognized in our nation as an important tool for effectively managing water resources. With rapid economic growths and social developments, our nation has experienced with rapid environment changes affecting complexities and difficulties of water resources management. Under these situations, our nation needs an efficient and equitable water management regime. In the scope of water management, our national frame is recognized by term of 'regime' and further water management regime has to meet social needs. In year 2006, Fundamental Water Management Act(a bill) is introduced to the National Assembly in our country so that our water management regime is faced with 'New Water Regime'. In this study, we researched a study within the scope of integrated watershed management regime which included broad scope of social aspects.Case studies of integrated water management in England, WRC, USEPA, and CALFED in US and Murray-Darling in Australia were conducted. We analyzed these cases using historical analysis with a 'Challenge and Response' view point and reviewed the durability of conflicts and motives in changes of water management regime and finally discussed factors of improving our water management regime, learned from those cases. We expect that our research will provide better ideas for our water management regime.
