Ways to improve water security

  Firstly, government needs to recognise basic principles that underpin good water management; Then, they must develop a stronger enabling environment of policies and laws to prevent water pollution happened. Government also has to build more appropriate institutional frameworks to improve water security. Besides, government needs to share, adopt and adapt management instruments and tools with other advanced countries like Japan, China and Canada.

  Secondly, government needs to ensure the availability of adequate and reliable water resources of acceptable quality in order to underpin water service provision for all social and economic activity in a manner that is environmentally sustainable. They also needs to mitigate water-related risks such as flood, drought and pollution. Furthermore, environmental experts have to address the conflicts that may arise from disputes over shared waters, especially in situations of growing stress, and turning them into win-win solutions.

  Thirdly, Ministry of Health needs to ensure equitable access to water services and resources through robust policies and legal frameworks at all levels. They have to build resilience in communities in the face of extreme water events through hard and soft measures. Meanwhile, they also need to manage water more sustainably as part of green economies by restoring ecosystem services in river basins to increase river health. They also responsible for increasing water productivity and conservation in all water using sectors by sharing economic, social and environmental benefits of  transboundary rivers, lakes and aquifers.

  Lastly, development of an appropriate stock of infrastructure (storage, flood control) also essential for water security. Government needs to develop a proper legislation and adequate institutions to improve water infrastructures. Moreover, integrated and comprehensive water planning also has to be conducted wisely. Water conservation can also be done  by developing a sustainable policies and legal frameworks and institutions for water management and dispute prevention and resolution.
