Water has been dubbed the "oil of the 21st century" because of its
increasing global scarcity. In Southeast Asia, water resources have
been strained by the greater demand from different sectors such as
agriculture, industry and domestic users. This situation is only
likely to worsen in the future if active measures are not taken
now. Is there a standard framework that can be adopted to promote
cooperation in the use of water among countries? Could clearer
institutions in river basins provide the backdrop for a more
effective water management strategy in Southeast Asia? Does private
sector involvement or privatization resolve some of the "public
good" woes of water management? How does a sense of security and
ownership enhance sustainability measures in a country? How have
civil groups been able to promote effective water management in a
country? How have water shortages been overcome in a predominantly
urban city state? How have water pollution problems been resolved?
Is there a potential for water conflicts in the years to come? What
are some of the issues involved in sustainable watershed
management? This publication draws from regional and country
studies of the Mekong Basin, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore,
Thailand and the Philippines to understand the political and
socio-economic dynamics involved in water management. It is a must
read for anyone interested in water management issues in the
region, understanding the past and present and also looking to
future trends.
