Hey Stephen, yes I do agree to your points. In Asian countries (where I am working these days) also the water governance is not given the full attention. We have to tell communities that,how societies choose to govern their water resources and services has profound impacts on people’s livelihood opportunities and sustainable development of water resources. Access to water is, for many people, a matter of daily survival or of breaking the vicious circle of poverty. Improving water governance will thus provide one cornerstone to alleviate poverty. thanks for creating this group..wish you all the best.

Water governance is a key to sustainable water management which subsequently is a key to sustainable development as well as adaptation to climate change impacts. In my country (Zambia) water governance is becoming more and more robust each day with key reforms being implemented as well as with some increased funding here and there. The major limitation is ownership of the water management issues and programmes by the general public (not everyone fully appreciates or understands the importance and key issues to water management).
