This brief on “Climate-informed Water Accounting: the need for measuring to plan and manage water resources in South Asia” explores the need for water accounting to help governments better plan and manage water resources that are already threatened by the impacts of climate change.
Water management policies have profound impacts on all aspects of human settlements.
Therefore, water management policies should be grounded in robust science-based information underpinned by socio-political and economic considerations, including attention to marginalized regions and segments of society.
The brief specifically looks at the dual challenge of water management and paucity in South Asia, the importance of integrated water resources management, water shortages, and rising community demands, water exporting and trading, and recommendations for a water-secure future.
This brief is an outcome of the reflections of speakers in a panel discussion organized by Asian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC) under the “Climate Talks” series and was published on 12 February 2021.
The discussion is part of ADPC’s Climate Adaptation and Resilience (CARE) for South Asia project supported by the World Bank. The topic of the discussion was Climate-informed Water Accounting: need for measuring to plan and manage water resources in South Asia.
