Analysis of Sustainable Water Resource Use

Project Update – May/June 2012

National Workshops

In February of this year the Project’s lead technical officer, Mr Thierry Facon, visited all four project basins in order to validate and discuss the project work so far. Specifically, the recently developed ‘Framework for Action’ was introduced to the participants, who then spent time working through the framework and providing feedback as to its usability. This valuable feedback is now being used to improve the Framework, before it is tested once again at the next meeting of the Regional Advisory Team.

The ‘Study on Analysis of Sustainable Water Resource Use'

Thursday, 13 January 2011 15:57

The ‘Study on Analysis of Sustainable Water Resource Use’ project focuses specifically on issues related to the policies and practices of water allocation, particularly to agriculture.

The immediate objective of the project is to promote sustainable water resource use for agriculture in the Asia Pacific region through capacity development; analyses of water allocation policies, strategies and practices in the selected river basins; and the availability of a comprehensive set of technical and policy assistance instruments.

With a financial donation from the Government of Japan (the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries) the project will be implemented by the Food and Agricultural Organization’s Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific. The project began in May 2009 and will continue until May 2012.

“We are currently synthesizing the results of the first online conference and extracting the critical issues that we would like to address in the second phase of this project".

There will be a short second online conference early next year to address these issues and selected participants will be invited to a face-to-face meeting in Bangkok to further brainstorm new solutions to the most pressing agricultural water management challenges.

We will keep all registered participants updated with developments by email and on this site.”
