Most of the analysis and assessment included in the report is based on the brief Country Water Notes and Country Water Fact Sheets presented in Volume 2. These notes provide a brief description of the socioeconomic and geographical context and development objectives pursued in each country and their implications for water resources management. WRM includes such crosscutting issues, such as river basin management, flood and watershed management monitoring, institutional management, inter-sectoral water allocation, and water quality management. Volume 1 comprises four chapters. Chapter 1 is a description of the water resource base at the regional level. It includes an assessment of past and present trends in water use by sector. Chapter 2 analyzes key water issues in each of the focus countries, emphasizing problems of common concern, Chapter 3 presents the main water issues at the transboundary level and some emerging trends. Following the national and regional analysis of water resources, Chapter 4 presents key recommendations for improved water management at the national and transboundary levels.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOWATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT STRATEGIESWATER RESOURCES PLANNINGWATER RESOURCES QUALITY ASSESSMENTWATER RESOURCES REGULATIONSRIVER BASIN MANAGEMENTRIVER BASIN WATER QUALITYFLOOD MANAGEMENTWATERSHED MANAGEMENTWATER ALLOCATION POLICIESINSTITUTIONAL MANAGEMENTINTERSECTORAL WATER ALLOCATIONSOCIOECONOMIC ASPECTSWATER UTILIZATIONDEMAND MANAGEMENTEROSION CONTROLWATER PROTECTIONDROUGHT MANAGEMENTNUTRIENT CONTAMINATIONECOSYSTEM CONSERVATIONWATER QUALITY MANAGEMENTINTERNATIONAL WATER AGREEMENTSINTERNATIONAL WATER LAWDAM SAFETYWETLANDS RESTORATIONHYDROLOGICAL FORECASTING ACCESS TO SEWERAGE SYSTEMSAGRICULTUREANNUAL PRECIPITATIONANNUAL RAINFALLANNUAL RUNOFFAQUATIC ECOSYSTEMSAQUIFERAQUIFERSBASINSBIOCHEMICAL OXYGEN DEMANDBODCANALSCAPACITYCATCHMENTSCHANNELCHANNELSCHARGES FOR WATERCOASTAL LAGOONSCODCONSERVATIONCONTAMINATION OF GROUNDWATERCOST RECOVERYCUBIC METERCUBIC METERSDAMSDISCHARGEDISSOLVED OXYGENDOMESTIC WATERDOMESTIC WATER DEMANDDRAINAGEDRAINAGE SYSTEMDRAINAGE SYSTEMSDRINKING WATERDRINKING WATER SUPPLYENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONFARMERSFLOOD CONTROLFLOOD PROTECTIONFLOODINGFLOODSFORESTRYFRESH WATERFRESHWATERFRESHWATER AVAILABILITYGRAVELGRAVITYGROUNDWATERGROUNDWATER DEVELOPMENTGROUNDWATER RESOURCESGROUNDWATER SOURCESGROUNDWATER WELLSHOUSEHOLDSHYDRO CAPACITYHYDROPOWER CAPACITYHYDROPOWER POTENTIALINDUSTRIAL EFFLUENTSINDUSTRIAL SECTORINDUSTRIAL WASTEWATERINTERNATIONAL RIVER BASINSINTERNATIONAL WATERIRRIGATIONIRRIGATION DEVELOPMENTIRRIGATION SYSTEMSIRRIGATION WATERLAKESLITERS PER CAPITA PER DAYLITERS PER SECONDLOCALITIESLOGGINGMAJOR WATER RESOURCEMANAGEMENT OF WATERMORTALITY RATEMUNICIPAL WATERMUNICIPALITIESNATIONAL WATER COUNCILNATURAL RESOURCESNITROGENPERMITSPIPED WATERPOLLUTIONPOPULATION CENTERPOPULATION GROWTHPROTECTION OF GROUNDWATERQUALITY OF WATERRESERVOIRSRIVER BASINRIVER COURSERIVER WATERRIVERSSALINE WATERSANDSANITATIONSEASEASSEDIMENTSSEPTIC TANKSSEWAGE SYSTEMSSNOWSOIL EROSIONSPRINGSPRINGSSTORAGE CAPACITYSURFACE WATERSURFACE WATER BODIESSURFACE WATERSSUSTAINABLE USETAPSTRANSBOUNDARY WATERSURBAN AREASUSE OF WATERWASTEWATERWASTEWATER TREATMENTWASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANTWATERWATERWATER ABSTRACTIONWATER AGENCIESWATER BODIESWATER CRISESWATER CRISISWATER DEMANDWATER DIRECTORATEWATER FLOWSWATER INFRASTRUCTUREWATER LEGISLATIONWATER LOSSESWATER MANAGEMENTWATER PRICINGWATER PROTECTIONWATER QUALITYWATER QUALITY PROBLEMSWATER RESOURCEWATER RESOURCE MANAGEMENTWATER RESOURCESWATER RESOURCES CONSERVATIONWATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENTWATER SECTORWATER SERVICESWATER SOURCESWATER STRATEGYWATER SUPPLYWATER SUPPLY SYSTEMWATER USEWATER USERWATER USERSWATER WITHDRAWALWATER WITHDRAWALSWATERCOURSESWATERSHEDWATERSHED MANAGEMENTWELLSWETLANDSWorld Bank10.1596/15271
