Its ultimate purpose is to enhance the ability of all countries to engage in evidenced- based dialogue on water and energy management. It focuses on regional actions, linking all five countries plus Afghanistan, but recognizes the essential role of national initiatives. It covers the core elements of a modern decision support system and, based on extensive consultations, supports a change in accessing, developing, and sharing information and analysis. The intended outcomes of the road map are to: (i) establish a knowledge platform that is accepted by countries as a basis for cooperative actions; (ii) enhance capacity and knowledge sharing at the national and regional levels; and (iii) directly improve management of water at national and transboundary scales.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOFLOODINGSANITATIONWATER QUALITYENVIRONMENTAL QUALITYCOVERINGWATER ALLOCATIONNATIONAL WATER POLICIESFLOWENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONUSE OF WATERHYDROLOGIC CYCLEACCESS TO WATERDAMSSNOWAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONPUMPSINTERNATIONAL WATER RESOURCESWATER SECTORWATER SYSTEMSWATER QUALITY MONITORINGHYDROLOGYDIAGNOSTIC TOOLSWATER SUPPLYWATER RESOURCERIVER BASINSDECISION MAKERSRESERVOIRSENVIRONMENTAL ISSUESAVAILABILITY OF WATERWATER SHORTAGESFLOOD MANAGEMENTGOVERNANCE OF WATERCAPACITY BUILDINGBORDER WATERMEASUREMENTSWATER LOSSESWATER RESOURCESWATER PUMPINGHYDROLOGICAL CYCLEWATER SYSTEMWATER STORAGENATIONAL WATER RESOURCESWATER MANAGEMENTLARGE DAMSALLOCATION OF WATERRIPARIAN COUNTRIESINTERNATIONAL WATERWATER RESOURCE MANAGEMENTWATER PROFESSIONALSLAND USE PRACTICESPOPULATION GROWTHINDUSTRIAL WATERFLOODSBASINSREGIONAL PUBLIC GOODSCIVIL SOCIETYWATER USEWATERMANAGING WATER RESOURCESWATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENTSUSTAINABLE WATERDRAINAGEWATER GOVERNANCEBILATERAL AGREEMENTSRIPARIAN STATESGLACIERSWATER DEVELOPMENTCLIMATE WARMINGWATER POLICIESNATURAL RESOURCESRUNOFFACCESS TO INFORMATIONINVESTMENT DECISIONSCLIMATE VARIABILITYWATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEMSBILATERAL COOPERATIONSTORAGE CAPACITYWATER LINKAGESPUBLIC SECTOR GOVERNANCERIVER BASIN MANAGEMENTHYDROPOWER POTENTIALLEADREGULATORY FRAMEWORKSCLIMATE CHANGECOLLECTOR DRAINSWATER QUANTITYDROUGHTWATER USERENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTWATER USESRIVER BASINDEMAND FOR WATERUTILITIESBASIN MANAGEMENTINTERNATIONAL WATERSWATER POLICYSYSTEMSCENTRAL GOVERNMENTCATCHMENTDECISION MAKINGRIVERSWATER RESOURCES PLANNINGWATER RESOURCES DEVELOPMENTINDUSTRIAL WATER SUPPLYFLOOD FORECASTINGWATER AVAILABILITYDISTRIBUTION OF WATERCOOLING WATERDRINKING WATERWATER FLOWSIRRIGATIONSTATISTICSWATERSHEDGROUNDWATERWATER USERSWATER PARTNERSHIPGLOBAL WATER PARTNERSHIPMANAGEMENT OF WATERWATER INFRASTRUCTUREDOWNSTREAM COUNTRIESWATERSWATER CONSERVATIONWATER SOURCEWATER DISTRIBUTIONHYDROPOWER PROJECTWATER FACILITIESREMOTE SENSINGSHARED WATER RESOURCESReportWorld Bank10.1596/22535
