Central Asia is vulnerable to water scarcity because it is located
in semiarid and arid vegetation zones and large parts of its
economy depend on water for irrigation and energy. Climate-change
scenarios predict temperature increases and a rising number of
extreme weather events, which will exacerbate water shortages in
the future. In addition, the population of Central Asia is growing
more rapidly than the rate of food production which is resulting in
food insecurity in many parts of the region too. This volume
reports the deliberations of politicians, scientists and
representatives of water management organizations from throughout
Central Asia. Their contributions not only highlight areas of
concern, but also propose numerous ideas for improving the
long-term water- and food security in the region.
