China’s integrated water management approach holds promise for sustainable development in Lancang-Mekong River
China’s integrated water management approach holds promise in addressing resource management challenges and fostering sustainable development in the Lancang-Mekong countries, said a Thai expert.
Piti Srisangnam, executive director of the ASEAN Foundation, said China’s emphasis on comprehensive planning, cooperation, and recognizing the interconnectivity of various sectors and stakeholders has proven effective in water resource management.
“By adopting these practices, several countries can enhance efficiency, promote sustainability, and address water-related issues in sustainable and holistic manners. It can also serve as a model for other countries that share the same river systems and face similar water management challenges,” he said in a recent interview with Xinhua.
