Abstract

Rapid population growth and economic development jeopardize water security in Asia, giving further emphasis in the global agenda to the need for improved water governance. In order to address Asia’s water security issues, an integrated and comprehensive approach for better water resources management is essential. The Network of Asian River Basin Organizations (NARBO) was launched in 2004 to promote integrated water resources management (IWRM) and improve water governance in the region. NARBO seeks to promote IWRM in Asia and has continuously advocated capacity-building activities for a better understanding of IWRM in Asian river basin organizations. This publication commemorates the 10-year anniversary of NARBO’s founding and features a collection of narratives from water management practitioners across the region. These provide insights for the future direction of NARBO and highlight the necessity of improved water governance to tackle the water crisis in Asia.
