<Sourcebook
of Alternative Technologies for Freshwater Augumentation
in Some
Countries in Asia>
2. OBJECTIVES
The main objective of this project is to address the need of Asian
planners for information appropriate to maximize and augment available
freshwater resources using appropriate technologies. To achieve this
objective, it is necessary to provide water resource managers with
information on different technologies used within the Region to augment
and maximize freshwater resources, and on specific experiences with these
technologies from throughout the Region. The Asian Source Book forms part
of the UNEP environmental technology transfer initiative that will
ultimately result in the preparation of a Global Source Book on
Alternative Technologies for Freshwater Augmentation. Other regional
source books are being compiled for Africa, Latin America and the
Caribbean, East and Central Europe, West Asia, and Small Island Developing
States. These regional books provide a basic source of information for,
and form the basis for international cooperation between, developing
countries of the world.
