National Water Policy for Laos

Print This Article

GHD is providing support to the recently established Water Resources and Environment Administration (WREA) in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic (PDR) to develop a new strategy for managing the country’s water resources.

GHD will assist in conducting a comprehensive inventory of the country’s water resources and in developing a new national water resources policy and strategy. Our team will work with the WREA to review and analyse existing water related data, including hydrology and meteorology, water quality and groundwater information for all major river basins in Laos. The assessment will identify opportunities to improve data, information, systems and models, and will inform the development of an interim water resources policy for the period 2008-2010.
