Asia-Pacific’s Water Scene:
Facts and Challenges
• 60% of population, 36% of water resources
• 61% of world’s malnourished people
• 62,000 deaths from water disasters last 5 years
• 80% of abstractions for agriculture, how todouble food production by 2050
• Groundwater tables falling, sea levels rising,glaciers retreating, rivers severely polluted

Asia-Pacific’s Water Scene:
Managing Excess
• 49% of world’s total floods over the last century
• 91% of total number of people killed
• $466 billion in flood damages (1992-2001)
• 2 billion people at risk from floods by 2050
• Global warming brings more severe disasters

Asia-Pacific’s Water Scene:
Managing Pollution
• Asia’s rivers suffering from severe pollution
• Waterborne diseases kill more people thanHIV/AIDs and malaria combined
• Loss of tourism income, fish catch, and healthand cleanup costs are significant
• Costs of water treatment increasing fast

Asia-Pacific’s Water Scene:
Adopting an Integrated Approach
• Governments have adopted water policies
• Sanitation “from toilet to river” advocated
• IWRM implementation in basins has started
• Recognition for watersheds and wetlands
• Water (re)allocation becoming an issue
• Work in progress and…. at risk

Regional TA project 6470:
Managing Water in Asia’s River Basins:
Charting Progress and Facilitating Investments
• Help RBOs to prepare Roadmaps for long-termIWRM investment programs
• Demonstrate good practices in introducing IWRM
• Develop RBO capacity for better results
• TA team based in regional knowledge hub for river
basin organizations and management• Tue Kell Nielsen is senior TA adviser
• Vu Gia –Thu Bon is one of the 5 pilot basins
