| Summary |
Water scarcity is increasingly becoming a threat to water security in different countries or areas of East Asia, driven by water over-withdrawal and pollution, and aggravated by climate change and variability. The?Green Water Defense in East Asia? study, as part of the driver for green growth in the water sector of East Asia region, seeks to find a sustainable solution to this challenge. The concept of Green Water Defense (GWD) is developed building on such principles as?live and build with nature?,?green adaptation?,?produce more with less? and?low impact development?, etc. It is defined |
