In general, pressures from both environment and human activities can increase the likelihood of water scarcity. Such pressures include increased socio-economic development and population growth, change in people's diets, competition for available water among different user sectors and growing climate variability. Climate change is likely to exacerbate the existing demand and supply stresses, particularly when more frequent and extreme droughts and floods, as well as rising sea level are becoming more evident. In temperate, sub-temperate regions, less rainfall and longer dry seasons are expected. In tropical areas, rainfall is predicted to be similar or greater in terms of annual average volumes, more intense and severe storms and seasonal droughts (IPCC, 2007). These pressures will test the effectiveness of water resource management systems in providing a consistent and secure water supply for all users, with minimum externalities. This study will assess advances in management practices, institutional and technological innovations for managing water scarcity sustainably under a changing climate. This study of 'sustaining East Asia's water resources through Green Water Defense (GWD) is a sub-study of the 'towards GWD in East Asia' study and is complemented by another sub-study 'green water defense for flood risk management in East Asia' that focuses on flood management in delta regions.CC BY 3.0 IGOADEQUATE PROVISIONAGRICULTURAL POLICYAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAGRICULTURAL WATERAGRICULTURAL WATER USEALGAL BLOOMSALLOCATION SYSTEMALTERNATIVE WATER SOURCESAQUATIC ECOSYSTEMSAQUIFERAQUIFERSARID REGIONSARTIFICIAL RECHARGEASSET MANAGEMENTAUGMENTATIONAVAILABLE WATERAVAILABLE WATER RESOURCESAVERAGE ANNUAL RAINFALLBASIN TRANSFERBASINSBRACKISH WATERCATCHMENTCATCHMENT MANAGEMENTCATCHMENTSCHANNELCHANNELSCLIMATE CHANGECLIMATE DATACLIMATE IMPACTSCLIMATE VARIABILITYCOASTAL AREASCONSUMPTIVE USECUBIC METERSDECISION MAKINGDEFICIT IRRIGATIONDELTA REGIONSDELTASDEMAND FOR WATERDEMAND MANAGEMENTDIKESDISCHARGEDISTRIBUTION SYSTEMDISTRIBUTION SYSTEMSDIVERSIONDOMESTIC USEDRAINAGEDRINKING WATERDROUGHTECOSYSTEMENGINEERINGENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTEROSIONEVAPORATIONFARM DAMSFARMERSFARMINGFLOOD CONTROLFLOOD DAMAGEFLOOD DAMAGESFLOOD MANAGEMENTFLOOD RISKFLOOD RISK MANAGEMENTFLOODINGFLOODSFLOW MEASUREMENTFORESTRYFRESHWATERFROSTGRAVITYGROUND WATERGROUNDWATERGROUNDWATER DEPLETIONGROUNDWATER MANAGEMENTGROUNDWATER RECHARGEGROUNDWATER STORAGEGROUNDWATER WITHDRAWALINDUSTRIAL RESEARCHINDUSTRIAL WATERINTERNATIONAL WATERINVESTMENT PLANNINGIRRIGATION DISTRICTIRRIGATION MANAGEMENTIRRIGATION SYSTEMSIRRIGATION TECHNOLOGYIRRIGATORSLAKESLAND USELAND USE CHANGELARGE CITIESLEAKAGEMANAGEMENT OF WATERMANAGING WATER RESOURCESMETERINGNUTRIENTSORGANIC CARBONOWNERSHIP OF WATERPIPELINEPOINT SOURCE POLLUTIONPOINT SOURCESPOLLUTION CONTROLPONDSPOOR WATER QUALITYPOPULATION GROWTHPRESSUREPROGRAMSPROVISION OF WATERPUMPINGQUALITY WATERQUANTITY OF WATERRAINRAIN SHADOWRAINWATERRAINWATER HARVESTINGRECREATIONAL WATERRECYCLED WATERREMOTE SENSINGRESERVOIRSRESPONSIBILITY FOR WATERRIPARIANRIVER BASINRIVER BASIN MANAGEMENTRIVERSROOT ZONERUNOFFRURAL WATERSALINITYSANITATIONSCARCE WATERSCARCE WATER RESOURCESSCARCE · · WATERSEASEA LEVEL RISESECURE WATER SUPPLYSEEPAGESEWAGE SYSTEMSSOIL MOISTURESTAKEHOLDER INVOLVEMENTSTAKEHOLDER PARTICIPATIONSURFACE WATERSURFACE WATER RESOURCESSURFACE WATER SYSTEMSSUSTAINABLE WATERSUSTAINABLE WATER USETOWNTOWNSTRANSPARENCYTRANSPIRATIONURBAN AREASURBAN WATERURBAN WATERSHEDURBAN WATERSHED MANAGEMENTWASTE DISPOSALWASTEWATERWASTEWATER COLLECTIONWASTEWATER MANAGEMENTWATER ACTSWATER ALLOCATIONWATER ALLOCATIONSWATER AUTHORITIESWATER AVAILABILITYWATER BODYWATER CHARGESWATER CONSERVATIONWATER CONSUMPTIONWATER CORPORATIONSWATER CYCLEWATER CYCLE MANAGEMENTWATER DEMANDWATER DEMAND MANAGEMENTWATER DEVELOPMENTWATER ENTITLEMENTSWATER GOVERNANCEWATER HARVESTINGWATER INDUSTRYWATER INFRASTRUCTUREWATER LOSSESWATER MANAGEMENTWATER MANAGEMENT AUTHORITIESWATER MANAGEMENT STRATEGYWATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEMWATER MANAGERSWATER MARKETSWATER METERINGWATER PARTNERSHIPWATER POLLUTIONWATER PRICINGWATER PROFESSIONALSWATER QUALITYWATER QUALITY MANAGEMENTWATER QUALITY MONITORINGWATER RECLAMATIONWATER REGULATIONWATER RESOURCEWATER RESOURCE MANAGEMENTWATER RESOURCESWATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENTWATER RESOURCES PLANNINGWATER REUSEWATER RIGHT TRADINGWATER RIGHTSWATER SAVINGSWATER SCARCITYWATER SECTORWATER SELLERSWATER SERVICEWATER SERVICE PROVISIONWATER SERVICESWATER SHARINGWATER SHORTAGEWATER SHORTAGESWATER SOURCEWATER SOURCESWATER STRATEGYWATER SUPPLIESWATER SUPPLYWATER SUPPLY SYSTEMWATER SUPPLY SYSTEMSWATER SYSTEMWATER SYSTEMSWATER TARIFFSWATER TREATMENTWATER USEWATER USERWATER USERSWATER USESWATER UTILITIESWATERSHED MANAGEMENTWATERWAY MANAGEMENTWETLANDSWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-9588-2
