Real Water Savings (REWAS) in agriculture online training for Indonesia was the latest collaboration between GWP-SEA Regional Secretariat and FAO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific. Real Water Savings (REWAS) is a simple tool to estimate the potential for generating real water savings from various agronomic, water management and technical practices in irrigated agriculture. The tool was developed by Future Water as part of RAP’s developing regional program on water scarcity in Asia and the Pacific. So far successful trainings have been held in Nepal, Viet Nam, Malaysia, Thailand and Iran, with very positive feedback from participants.

Tackling the intricacies of drought resilience and water management is essential for fostering sustainable development in Asia. Drought poses a significant threat to food security across the region, given the pivotal role of agriculture in its economies. Moreover, water scarcity in Asia extends its repercussions beyond agriculture, impacting industries like manufacturing and energy production that heavily depend on water resources, thereby hindering overall economic growth and stability. Given the transboundary nature of drought, effective mitigation efforts demand collaborative actions across nations.
