Water Yearbook:
Central Asia and around the Globe

We are delighted to introduce the Central Asian Water Yearbook which features key water related events and developments in Central Asia and beyond. The Yearbook seeks to ease access to key events of the year for policy and decision-makers and other stakeholders, inside and outside the water community in Central Asia, by presenting it in a user-friendly format. We hope that this annual publication will contribute to better coordination of efforts undertaken by the countries, regional and international organisations in the water field.

We thank all organizations and individuals who provided information on their activities and projects for this Yearbook.
