description |
Water management is a key development
challenge in South Asia. The region - one of the most
densely-populated and climate-vulnerable parts of the world
- has the world’s fastest growing regional economy and the
largest proportion of poorest people. With 23.7 percent of
the global population, but only 4.6 percent of the world’s
renewable water resources, the management of water is a key
development challenge for sustaining growth, livelihoods,
and resilience. The key features of this challenge are
ensuring a reliable supply of water for food, people,
energy, and industry, and managing the consequences of
extreme hydrological events. Climate change will compound
this challenge; it will impact, though unevenly, water
supply, demand and quality, and exacerbate extreme
hydrological events. |
