Overview
As economies grow and population increases rapidly in Asia and Pacific region over last decades, many developing countries face increasing demand of water resources, increasing acute water scarcity and serious socio economic impact of water related disasters, thereby threatening the sustainability of socio economic development efforts. Against this background, climate change threat casts gloomy expectation for its adverse serious impacts on water system, including water infrastructure, and particularly on the poorest and the most vulnerable countries in the region.
Under these circumstances, one of the best solutions to tackle these issues is to increase ecological efficiency (eco-efficiency) in water infrastructure in countries that can play a central role in pursuing sustainable development.
