Global Water Crisis

We focus on south east Asia on clean water, sanitation and hygiene and mainly in the Provinces.

This situation has been compounded by poor domestic management of water resources and increasing variability in rainfall and climate patterns that have made southeast Asia highly susceptible to floods, droughts, and natural disasters.

Decreased access to a safe, stable water supply in Asia "will have a profound impact on security throughout the region," warns a new Asia Society Leadership Group report. In response to the cascading set of consequences reduced access to fresh water will trigger—including impaired food production, the loss of livelihood security, large scale migration within and across borders, and increased economic and geopolitical tensions and instabilities—the report recommends a comprehensive strategy to avert a regional crisis.
