Asia's 48 countries have an estimated 1.757 billion urban
population and 2.4 billion people in rural areas (or approximately
60 per cent of the global population). Divided into central,
eastern, southern, south-eastern and western regions, the continent
is also extremely heterogeneous in terms of water quality
conditions. The policies and management practices vary
significantly from one country to another, and even within one
country, depending on specific economic, political, social,
environmental, legal and institutional factors. In order to
appreciate the complexities associated with water quality policy
and management, it is important to acknowledge the multiplicity of
interrelated and often conflicting events, issues, actors and
interests, both within and outside the water sector that impact
them. This complexity, alongside institutional inability for
systematic and coordinated collaboration, are potent reasons as to
why, in the second decade of the 21st century, formulation and
implementation of efficient water quality management policies
benefitting humankind and the environment have still not been
achieved. The book was originally published as a special issue of
the International Journal of Water Resources Development.
