1 3 rd Asia-Pacific Water Summit Financing Implementation of the Water Related SDGs in Myanmar Dr. Wah Wah Maung Director General Central Statistical Organization Ministry of Planning and Finance Myanmar

2 Water Based Economy Water quantify the economic value of water resources return on investments in environmental restoration and water-related infrastructure, and the ecosystem benefits and services Based advancing the Blue Economy Economy ensuring that businesses, communities and agriculture are able to leverage the abundant water resources to support strong economies and a high quality of life for residents

3 Sustained Use of Water Population Growth Urbanization Process Industrial Growth Transport: Water Ways, Marine Agriculture Inefficient Use of Water Resources, Water Management System, Climate Change Pressure to Water Management System

4 Financing Resilient Water Infrastructure and Services Financing Water Financing of a sustainable water sector can focus SDGs 2030 Agenda Can achieve a number of targets Growth with equity Strategic Framework, Policies and Action Plan Sector Financing Sources: State Budget, Grant, Loans, International Assistance, PPP

5 Increasing Water Security: Key Dimension I Household water security covers both drinking water (SDG target 6.1) and sanitation (SDG target 6.2), both have clear targets (100% coverage by 2030)

6 Increasing Water Security: Key Dimension II Economic Water Security Asia and the Pacific faces a serious water threat Water demand in agriculture, industry, and the domestic sectors will increase by 30% 40% in 2050.

7 Increasing Water Security: Key Dimension Urban Water Security water systems in the city as source of supply (drinking water) and threat (flooding) toward a more comprehensive water-sensitive cities approach. High infrastructure requirements to improve the wastewater and flooding components of the urban water security dimension

8 Increasing Water Security: Key Dimension Environmental Water Security Index of environmental water security (KD4) quantifies the pressures on the health of flowing surface waters across the region (i) the river health index (RHI), the inverse of a metric of threat to water security, that incorporates the potential impacts of many variables that tend to have detrimental impacts on river health; (ii) flow alteration, which describes the extent to which rivers are changed due to dams, weirs, and direct extractions; (iii) environmental governance, which expresses the efforts of governments to protect the environment in their country.

9 Increasing Water Security: Key Dimension Resilience to Water-Related Disasters On average, 205 million people were affected by such disasters each year during that period. Weather-related disasters are becoming increasingly frequent, due to a sustained rise in the number of floods and storms. Flooding alone accounts for 47% of all weather-related disasters in , affecting 2.3 billion people, the majority (95%) in Asia. While

10 Water availability and use in Myanmar The prime source of water is the precipitation of rain. Three available water sources: (a) Surface Water (b) Ground Water or Underground Water (a) Rain or Snow

11 Common Water Usage Patterns Domestic use Bathing, Washing, Flushing, Cooking, Drinking Garden watering use Fire fighting Industrial use Commercial use Agricultural use Unaccountable or losses

12 Countries with the lowest level of wastewater treatment in the Asia-Pacific Region *Estimate. Note: The percentage of wastewater treated is very much dependant on the conditions in the countries largest/larger cities, where the percentage is generally higher, and rarely a reliable indicator of conditions in the smaller urban centres of towns and rural areas, for which data are often lacking. Source: Adapted from ADB (2013, Appendix 4, p.100).

13 Wastewater production and treatment Domestic wastewater into the municipal open drains and pipe system in municipality areas or/and common effluent treatment plant.

14 Which goals does the Government of Myanmar aim to achieve and how does the Government practice wastewater policies at a national level with the goals? National Policy Developmen t and Institutions in Myanmar Improving River System Managing waste water Awareness campaign for the effective and efficient use of water Improving infrastructure including rural infrastructure The Institutions: Environmental Conservation Department (ECD) of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Conservation (MONREC), Yangon City Development Committee (YCDC), Mandalay City Development Committee (MCDC) and Nay Pyi Taw City Development Committee (NCDC)
