Volume 1, Chapter 12

I have started this topic to share with you some of the chapters from the WWDR that might be of use in your projects.

The UN WWDR4 is a comprehensive review of the state of the worlds freshwater resources. The report is targeted at national decision makers and water managers, but is also aimed at educating and informing a broader audience. It contains current information concerning the state of knowledge about our water resources but also provides concrete examples of approaches and potential responses for addressing water-related challenges. The report is produced in 3 volumes; Managing Water Under Risk and Uncertainty; Knowledge Base; and Facing the Challenges.

Attached here is Chapter 12 of Volume 1 entitled "Investment and financing in water for a more sustainable future". As we know, increased financing is required in all facets of water development, the approaches proposed in this chapter are diverse yet practical and might get some ideas flowing.
