Water-related Challenges in Asia

Increasing water demand , risk of flood disaster, and risk of worse waterquality
 Population growth, Urbanization, Economic development
 Recent extreme hydrological events
Lack of proper facilities, legislation and governance to stop negative spiral Bad water quality leads water shortage and excessive groundwater use
 Excessive groundwater use can increase flood disaster risk through subsidence
 To reduce groundwater use, need alternative water resources and scheme forproper water allocation

To tackle these issues, need IWRM approachwith view point of River BasinAsia’s Experience on IWRM
To address the challenges in Asia, adapting Integrated Water Resources
Management (IWRM ) is inevitable.
It is important to show basic approach, grasp perspectives of all stakeholders,and identify keys for success in order to achieve effective IWRM.
Therefore, NARBO provided IWRM guideline in cooperation with UNESCO.
By using “Spiral Model”,
Model we address Asian challenges on IWRM.

The IWRM Guideline was used not only in Asian region,
but also in other regions.

 Knowledge on climate change adaptation
