INTRODUCTION
Water-related
challenges in developing countries are not limited to water supply and
sanitation services. Water shortages experienced by users across the region is
plagued with chronic cycles of flooding and drought that are increasing in
frequency and severity, in part exacerbated by climate change, and coupled with
population growth, significant upland watershed destruction, and non-equitable distributed
of water resources.
There
is the need in improving access to water, increasing community
capacity to manage and better use water resources, improving water supply
infrastructure in arid and semi-arid areas, improving water sanitation and
hygiene practices, as well as protecting watersheds.
