But as countries in Asia-Pacific build the water, energy, waste management and transport infrastructure to support the needs of a growing population and economy, our rivers, lakes and wetlands are now under more threat than ever before. Due to institutional, technological and financial insufficiency, much of the region faces challenges in developing sustainable infrastructure. As thirsty crops suck up this precious resource, industrial pollution and sewage leaks into rivers, natural habitats are built over, and dams and infrastructure fragment our river systems.

We work with communities, civil society organisations and development partners, companies and governments.
