Brief Description
Population explosion has lead to a drastic change in hydrological cycle, which has impacts on human environment, flood, water paucity, water quality and other issues. Global climate change may worsen these problems. Water variability stemming from rapid population growth and climate change is a big menace for sustainability in water resources management. Elaborating comprehensive and basin-wide water policy is essential to cope with the increasing water variability. This special session will focus on this topic. Emphasis will be put on the Monsoon Asia region. The modalities to secure a sound water policy out of case studies will be discussed towards further case-based studies.
