4 Asian Water Development Outlook 2013 Provides the first quantitative and comprehensive analysis of water security on a country by country basis in the region Examines all dimensions of water security from the household level to water-related disasters Uses indicators and a scaling system to rank the progress of each of the 49 countries under assessment.
5 Vision Societies can enjoy water security when they successfully manage their water resources and services to: 1. Satisfy household water and sanitation needs in all communities 2. Support productive economies in agriculture, industry, and energy 3. Develop vibrant, livable cities and towns 4. Restore healthy rivers and ecosystems 5. Build resilient communities that can adapt to change. Source: Asian Water Development Outlook 2013

8 KD2: Economic Water Security Index What it measures: Performance in ensuring the productive use of water to sustain economic growth in food production, industry and energy KD 2 = f (water productivity in agriculture, industry, and energy) Asian Water Development Outlook 2013 (Preview - forthcoming)
9 KD3: Urban Water Security Index What it measures: Performance in creating better urban water services and management to develop vibrant, livable cities and towns KD 3 = f (urban water supply (%), sanitation (%), flood) + (urban water way factor [0],[1]) Asian Water Development Outlook 2013 (Preview - forthcoming)
10 KD4: Environmental Water Security Index What it measures: Performance in restoring their river basins and ecosystems to health on a national and regional scale KD 4 = f (pressures/threats, vulnerability/resilience) Asian Water Development Outlook 2013 (Preview - forthcoming)
11 KD5: Resilience Index (water-related disasters) What it measures: Performance in building resilient communities that can adapt to change KD 5 = f (exposure, vulnerability, capacity) Asian Water Development Outlook 2013 (Preview - forthcoming)

28 National Water Security in Asia and the Pacific Source: Asian Water Development Outlook 2013
29 More than 75% of the countries in Asia and the Pacific are experiencing a serious lack of water security. 37 countries are either suffering from low levels of water security or have barely begun to engage in the essential task of improving water security. 12 countries have established the infrastructure and management systems for water security.
30 Agriculture accounts for 79% of average annual water withdrawals in Asia and the Pacific. Asia has the lowest per capita availability of freshwater. Around 80% of Asia s rivers are in poor health. Around 90% of the people affected by water-related disasters live in Asia
31 Water supports health and livelihoods, grows our food, powers our industry, and cools our generating plants, and these different uses can no longer be seen in isolation from each other. Unless these competing needs are balanced, water security will remain elusive, undermining development gains and the quality of life for billions of people in the region, especially the poor. Ravi Narayanan, Vice Chair, Governing Council Asia-Pacific Water Forum
32 Messages to Leaders (1) Make best use of developed water resources by incentivizing reduce, reuse and recycle systems Unlock the performance of water utilities through corporatization Invest in better sanitation to boost health, productivity and the economy.
33 Messages to Leaders (2) Mobilize rural communities for equitable and just access to water and sanitation Embrace the challenge of the waterfood-energy nexus, with clear productivity targets Start managing groundwater as a valuable and limited resource.
34 Messages to Leaders (3) Revitalize irrigation institutions for transformation of irrigation services Make integrated water resources management a priority Mobilizing additional resources to clean up rivers.
35 Messages to Leaders (4) Forewarned is forearmed Create insurance mechanisms to minimize reliance on disaster relief Craft governance institutions for current water security challenges.
36 Messages to Leaders (5) Make smart use of regional cooperation Address water security in the 5 key dimensions simultaneously Balance today s needs with those of future generations.
