Summary, etc. Asian Water Development Outlook (AWDO) 2007<br/><br/>AWDO is a new publication commissioned by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in view of the increasing importance of water in the future development scenarios of the Asia and Pacific region. In recent years, water has steadily gravitated toward the top of the national agendas of ADB's developing member countries. This is a desirable development because water is an essential requirement for human and ecosystems survival. In addition, water is a critical component for most development needs. Without adequate quantity and quality of water, it<br/><br/>will not be possible to ensure food, energy, or environmental security of nations. AWDO is aimed at Asian and Pacific leaders and policy makers and those interested in understanding the complexities and dimensions of the current and the future water problems, and how these can be addressed successfully in policy terms. Its main objective is to raise awareness of water-related issues and to stimulate an informed debate on how best to manage Asia's water future. These are important and complex issues, and their timely management can contribute to the achievement of all the water-associated Millennium Development Goals and beyond.<br/><br/>AWDO 2007 is ADB's first attempt to make a forward-looking assessment of the possible water future for the most populous region of the world. It is now increasingly being recognized that water is likely to be a major critical resource issue of the world, and that the social, economic, and environmental future of Asia is likely to depend on how efficiently and equitably this resource will be managed in the coming years.<br/><br/>About the Asian Development Bank<br/><br/>ADB aims to improve the welfare of the people in the Asia and Pacific region, particularly the nearly 1.9 billion who live on less than $2 a day Despite many success stories, the region remains home to two thirds of the world's poor. ADB is a multilateral development finance institution owned by 67 members, 48 from the region and 19 from other parts of the globe. ADB's vision is a region free of poverty Its mission is to help its developing member countries reduce poverty and improve their quality of life.<br/><br/>ADB's main instruments for helping its developing member countries are policy dialogue,<br/><br/>loans, equity investments, guarantees, grants, and technical assistance. ADB's annual lending volume is typically about $6 billion, with technical assistance usually totaling about $180 million a year<br/><br/>ADB's headquarters is in Manila. It has 26 offices around the world and more than 2,000 employees from over 50 countries.
