Citation:
Description:
The overall objective of the World Water Assessment Programme is to support the building of global security - food, environment, economic, social and political security -- through an integrated comprehensive freshwater assessment. The specific objectives within the assessment programme are: (1) to monitor and assess the performance of freshwater resources availability and use from national to global scales; (2) to provide advice to Member States, and participating countries, and act on water-related policy and technical issues at national, regional and global levels; (3) to scope and specify threatened areas of possible water scarcity, and to design mechanisms for achieving optimal utilization of the resource to ensure sustainable development; and (4) to provide well-compiled water-related information to the public.
