“Water security” is an enduring issue which has been a major concern in the world and to this day remains a critical matter in society.
Home to a quarter of the world’s population, South Asia is endowed with vast water resources with potential for high economic development. However spatial and temporal factors in distribution subject the region to water related disasters such as droughts, floods and storm surges, which are increasingly compounded by climate change and global warming.
GWP Southeast Asia has actively contributed to several water management resources reforms in the region.
