Environmental Water Management in the Indo-Pacific: An Australian Perspective

Nowhere else in the world is there a greater need to address environmental water issues than the Indo-Pacific region. This publication includes a review of current status and threats to freshwater ecosystems across each region in the Indo-Pacific, and the essential ecosystem services they sustain. It also provides an assessment of the demand and awareness across a range of environment water quality and quantity issues and challenges, identifies data and information gaps as well as the opportunities for capacity building and training. Key environmental water quality and quantity issues are also mapped against each region with a particular focus on countries in South-Asia, South-East Asia, East Asia and the Pacific.
