Background
Many countries in the Asian region are facing common problems
such as severe deterioration of the water quality and shortage
of usable water due to rapid economic and population growth. Although
measures to solve the problems are being taken by the central and
local governments of these countries, circumstances are being aggravated
by the lack of human resources and funding. Against this background,
there has been a noticeable increase in the number of local citizens
who are involved in activities to conserve the water environment
on a community basis. However, the experiences of stakeholders
who have managed to overcome these problems have not been sufficiently
conveyed to the entire Asian region. In order to enhance these
voluntary water conservation activities, cooperation between various
stakeholders should be strengthened to achieve sustainable development
of the region.
Purpose
This symposium is aiming to promote Asian community
activities to share the experiences of various stakeholders in
their endeavour to conserve water quality and aquatic ecology,
and to strengthen the linkage among stakeholders and make their
conservation activities better known.
